Gold Fields Reports Increase in Mineral Resources and Reserves

Johannesburg, 2 October 2003: Gold Fields Limited (GFI - NYSE and JSE)
announces increases in both its Mineral Resources and Reserves for fiscal year
ending 30 June, 2003.

Attributable Resources have increased from 186.0 to 195.3 million ounces,
including the Arctic Platinum Project in Finland. Attributable Reserves have
increased by 3.0 million ounces to 81.5 million ounces.

Ian Cockerill, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Fields said: "To end the year
with a net gain of 3 million reserve ounces, and to offset the 4.7 million
ounces we depleted, means that we actually found 7.7 million ounces of new
reserves during the year. This reflects well on the increased focus on organic
growth and exploration within Gold Fields."

Gold Fields spends approximately US$70 million a year on exploration worldwide.
Of this, approximately US$30 million is spent on brownfields exploration on or
near existing mining properties, where the new reserves were found.

Gold Fields reports its Mineral Resources and Reserves in accordance with the
South African Code for the Reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
(SAMREC Code). The code has been incorporated into the rules of the JSE
Securities Exchange South Africa regarding listing requirements and continuing
obligations. In addition Gold Fields has written and implemented an additional
internal code of practice that takes cognisance of the diverse nature of its
operations and considers the requirements of all internationally recognised
codes, including industry Guide 7 as interpreted by the Staff of the US
Securities Exchange Commission.

A comprehensive Resources and Reserves Statement can be found on the Company's
website at www.goldfields.co.za or in its recently published annual report for
2003 which was mailed to all shareholders and is available upon request.
