MEDIA RELEASE
UPDATE ON SOUTH DEEP STRIKE

Johannesburg, 18 November 2010:
Gold Fields Limited
(Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) notes with
concern incidents of intimidation and violence linked to the
ongoing strike action by the National Union of Mineworkers
(NUM) at its South Deep gold mine in South Africa.

A small group of NUM members damaged property and
intimidated non-striking staff both at work and at their near-by
homes. Several employees have been assaulted and injured.

Gold Fields is extremely disturbed by the developments,
which have marred what has to date been a positive
engagement between South Deep management and the
NUM. We will monitor the situation closely and will take
appropriate action to protect our employees and property if
and when required.
