First quarter production was planned lower due to the Christmas break in South Africa and mine scheduling at the other operations. There was a concomitant increase in unit costs, despite overall costs being well contained. Attributable gold equivalent production for the quarter is expected to be approximately 501,000 ounces (Q4 2014: 556,000 ounces) at All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC) of US$1,145/oz (Q4 2014: US$1,023/oz) and All-in Costs (AIC) of US$1,165/oz (Q4 2014: US$1,047/oz).

Gold Fields’ full results for the quarter ended 31 March 2015 will be published on Thursday, 7 May 2015.
