Kennedy to head up Kloof Gold Mine at Gold Fields

Johannesburg, 12 March 2003: Gold Fields Limited [GFI] today announced that Gerrit Kennedy will replace Neal Froneman as Vice President and Head of Operations for the Group’s Kloof Gold Mine, as from 1 April 2003.

Kennedy is a well-respected and experienced mining engineer with extensive management experience on the deep level mines of the West Wits Basin. He joined Gold Fields in April 2002 from Samancor. Prior to that Kennedy was a senior manager at AngloGold’s Western Deep Levels Gold Mine.

Mike Prinsloo, Executive Vice President and Head of South African Operations said: “We appreciate the invaluable contribution that Neal has made to Gold Fields and to Kloof in particular. His leadership has assisted in Kloof’s turnaround and he leaves behind a strong team and legacy for Gerrit to build and further consolidate on, to ensure Kloof’s future.”

“Neal Froneman will leave Gold Fields at the end of March 2003 to pursue his personal business interests. We wish him well,” said Prinsloo.
