JOHANNESBURG, April 14, 2015 /CNW/ - Gold Fields Limited (Gold
Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) provides production and cost
guidance for the Group for the March
2015 quarter (Q1 2015). 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).
Previously published guidance for 2015, of attributable gold
equivalent production of 2.2 million ounces at AISC of US$1,055/oz and AIC of US$1,075/oz, remains intact.
Gold Fields' full results for the quarter ended 31 March 2015 will be published on Thursday,
7 May 2015.
