DRDGOLD (DRD) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

DRDGOLD Limited is a South African gold producer focused on the retreatment of surface gold-bearing material rather than conventional underground mining. The company processes mine waste, tailings and other historical residues to recover gold and, as a by-product, silver. Its operations are designed to extract remaining precious metals from material generated by decades of mining activity.

DRDGOLD’s principal assets are located in South Africa’s Gauteng province and include the Ergo Mining operations in the eastern and central Witwatersrand areas and the Far West Gold Recoveries operation on the western Witwatersrand. These businesses use large-scale reclamation, hydraulic mining, milling and metallurgical processing facilities to treat tailings and other surface deposits.

The company traces its roots to the South African gold-mining industry and has evolved toward a surface-processing model that emphasizes the remediation and reuse of historical mine waste. DRDGOLD is headquartered in Johannesburg and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Its management is led by Chief Executive Officer Niël Pretorius.
