Description: DRD DRDGOLD November 13, 2025

DRDGOLD Limited (NYSE: DRD) is a South-African gold miner that extracts gold and silver from the retreatment of surface-mine tailings-a low-cost, low-environmental-impact model. The company, originally incorporated in 1895 as Durban Roodepoort Deep Limited, rebranded in 2004 and now operates as a subsidiary of Sibanye Gold Limited, with its headquarters in Johannesburg.

Recent data (2023) show DRDGOLD produced roughly 300 koz of gold at an all-in sustaining cash cost near $900 per ounce, well below the industry average, while generating ~70 MW of renewable power for internal use and sale. The firm’s earnings are highly sensitive to the gold price (a 10 % rise in spot gold typically lifts DRDGOLD’s EBITDA by ~15 %) and to South African macro-factors such as the rand-USD exchange rate and labor-relations climate, which have historically introduced operational volatility.

For a deeper quantitative view, you might explore DRDGOLD’s cost structure, ESG metrics, and forward-looking guidance on ValueRay to see how the company stacks up against peers.
