MEDIA RELEASE
GOLD FIELDS SOUTH DEEP MINE FACES STRIKE ACTION
Johannesburg, 25 October 2010. Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE,
NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) has announced that the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM)
has issued the mine with a notice of its intention to strike at its South Deep
Mine in South Africa commencing on the 26th October 2010.
The dispute concerns failure to reach full agreement over NUM demands to
participate in certain decision making processes that Gold Fields views
primarily as management prerogative, including, inter alia the recruitment and
selection of middle- to senior management as well as tender and procurement
practices. The company has engaged and will continue to engage with the union in
an effort to avert the strike.
Gold Fields will be seeking an interdict against the proposed strike action. The
company has made all necessary arrangements to mitigate the impact of the strike
should the interdict not succeed
