Johannesburg, 31 July 2018: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE:

with Asanko Gold (Asanko), with Gold Fields acquiring a 50% stake in
Asanko’s 90% interest in the Asanko Gold Mine in Ghana.

Gold Fields is expected to equity account its share in the Joint Venture,
with attributable production and costs incorporated into the Group numbers
from completion. Asanko’s published guidance for 2019-2023 is average annual

Gold Fields and Asanko have established various working groups to ensure

us exposure to a great camp, with long-life, low-cost production, with
significant exploration potential in a country we know well and have
operated in for 25 years.”

load production and Damang providing growth through the reinvestment plan
currently underway. We look forward to working closely with our new
partners,” he added.
