 GOLD FIELDS’ SOUTH DEEP GOLD MINE AND THE NUM AND
     UASA REACH THREE-YEAR WAGE AGREEMENT

Westonaria, 11 June 2021: Gold Fields’ South Deep Gold Mine and
the NUM and UASA trade unions have concluded a three-year wage
agreement for the period 1 March 2021 to 28 February 2024.

The parties believe that the agreement is in the best interest of
employees and the mine’s long-term sustainability.

The agreement provides for the following:

   ?   Category 4 – 8 employees will receive a wage increase of 8%
       in year 1, and 8% or CPI (whichever is the greater) in years 2
       and 3.
   ?   Miners, Artisans and Officials will receive a wage increase of
       6% in year 1, and 6% or CPI (whichever is the greater) in years
       2 and 3.
   ?   CPI-related increases will also be applied to housing
       allowances. Living-out allowances will be phased out over the
       three-year period, as required by the Department of Mineral
       Resources and Energy, and as the mine rolls out its housing
       strategy.

The total increase of the settlement amounts to an average increase
of 6.5% a year over the three-year period.

A range of non-wage related issues have also been agreed to,
including an alignment of leave and shift configurations, as well as
amendments to other conditions of employment with a view to
standardise them across all occupational levels and simplifying
associated administrative processes.

NUM PWV Regional Chairperson, Ndlela Radebe, said: “Considering
the difficult circumstances South Africa and the world are facing due
to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are satisfied with the settlement we
have entered into. We believe it will go a long way in improving the
livelihoods of workers and their families, while sustaining the business
and ensuring sustainable job security.

“We wish to commend all parties involved (the NUM, UASA and the
Gold Fields South Deep management team) for the constructive and
                                                                     -2-


harmonious spirit in which wage negotiations were undertaken. This is appreciated. As the NUM, we
look forward to continuing the much-improved working relationship between the parties for the
foreseeable future.”

Divisional Manager and Chief Negotiator for UASA, Franz Stehring noted: “Given the prevailing
economic climate and the bullish commodity market, the settlement reached with South Deep Gold Mine
through constructive engagements sets a benchmark for other mining companies.”

Gerrit Lotz, VP People and Organisational Effectiveness at South Deep, concluded: “The settlement
agreement is fair and balanced, taking into account the impact that increases in cost of living are likely
to have on employees over the next three years, and the future sustainability of our mine. We commend
all parties for the constructive manner in which the negotiations have taken place.”
