MEDIA RELEASE
GOLD FIELDS Q1 2013
GUIDANCE UPDATE
Johannesburg, 3 April 2013: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields)
(JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) today announced that
attributable Group production for the new Gold Fields, excluding any
contribution from Sibanye Gold, for the March 2013 quarter (Q1
2013) is expected to be 476,000 gold-equivalent ounces. Cash costs
are expected to be approximately US$830/oz and NCE is expected
to be approximately US$1,290/oz.
This performance from the new Gold Fields is in-line with the
production guidance for 2013 of between 1,825,000 and 1,900,000
ounces and the cash cost and NCE guidance of US$860/oz and
US$1,360/oz respectively.
When Gold Fields reports its results for Q1 2013, it will, for
accounting reasons, have to include two months of production
(January and February 2013) from Sibanye Gold. On that basis
production is expected to be reported as approximately 662,000
gold-equivalent ounces. Total cash costs are expected to be
approximately US$915/oz and NCE US$1,325/oz.
Gold Fields will release its results for Q1 2013 on Friday, 10 May
2013.
