DEALING IN SECURITIES BY DIRECTOR                                               
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the Listings Requirements of JSE  
Limited ("the Listings Requirements") we hereby advise that Mr. C Farrel, a     
Company Secretary 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 
seven years from the grant date. The value of the Options which a participant   
may exercise will be the difference between the Share price at the date of      
exercise and the Strike price on the allocation date.
