In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the Listings Requirements         
of JSE Limited ("the Listings Requirements") we hereby advise that Mr NJ        
Holland, a Director of Gold Fields Limited, has exercised Share Options         
which were issued to him in terms of The GF Management Incentive Scheme,        
as amended.                                                                     
Share options are offered at a strike price, with a third of the total          
share option grant vesting upon the second, third and fourth
