Johannesburg, 1 May 2008.
Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields") (NYSE, JSE, DIFX: GFI) deeply
regrets to report that 9 people lost their lives in a shaft accident
at the developing South Deep gold mine today. The accident happened
at approximately 10h00 when a rope on a sub cage winder which was
taking the employees from 105 to 110 level at the Twin Shafts
complex apparently failed.
Nick Holland, chief executive officer of Gold Fields said: "We are
deeply shocked by this terrible accident and our deepest condolences
go out to the loved ones of the people who lost their lives."
The deceased employees were part of a Development Team working on
various levels below 95 level. All mining operations have been
suspended at the shaft.
Safety inspectors from the Department of Minerals and Energy,
members of the unions and associations and management are on site.
The names of the deceased are being withheld until next of kin have
been informed
Further details will be made known at a later stage.
