Johannesburg, 9 January 2007. Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (NYSE, JSE,

Mr Goodlace was previously head of Gold Fields` international operations.
Mr. Ian Cockerill, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Fields said:
"Terence`s appointment will ensure stability and continuity at a time when we
face significant new challenges in South Africa. Terence, who is well known to
and respected by the South African operations, has a deep insight into and

Before becoming head of the international operations he was head of strategic
planning for the Group."
