Gold Fields Reaches Three-Year Wage Agreement At South Deep Mine


Johannesburg, 10 April 2015: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) is
pleased to announce that it has reached a three-year wage and other conditions of employment
agreement with its registered trade unions at its South Deep mine in South Africa.

The agreement, which was signed with the National Union of Mineworkers and UASA today, will result
in average annual wage increases of 10% over the three-year period of the deal. The first increase will
take effect on 1 April 2015.

The negotiations took place at a company-level in recognition of South Deep’s significantly different
operating model and labour profile to that of the other gold mining companies in South Africa. South
Deep is the only fully mechanised gold mining operation in South Africa and it employs a small, skilled
complement of approximately 3,500 employees.

As such, Gold Fields has had to give due consideration to the scarcity of mechanised mining skills in
South Africa and has taken a holistic approach in its negotiations with labour.
