DEALING IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTOR OF A MAJOR SUBSIDIARY                         
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the                               
Listings Requirements of JSE Limited ("the Listings Requirements") we           
hereby advise that Mr J Pauley, a Director of a major subsidiary of Gold        
Fields Limited has exercised Share Appreciation Rights (SARS) which were        
issued to him in terms of the Gold Fields Limited 2005 Share Plan.              
SARS are allocated at the volume weighted average price of Gold Fields          
shares over the 20 trading days preceding the Grant Date. SARS vest after       
three years and participants have a further three years in which to             
exercise the SARS. The value of the SARS which a participant may exercise       
will be the difference between the Fair Market Value at date of exercise        
and the Fair Market Value on the allocation date. The Company at its sole       
discretion can decide to settle the SARS by issuing shares of the               
equivalent value or in cash.                                                    
Details of the transaction are set out below:
