DEALING IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTOR

Limited ("the Listings Requirements") we hereby advise that Mr J Pauley, a      
Director of a major subsidiary 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 anniversaries of the     
grant date. The vested options can be exercised before the expiry date which is
