“We are discovering new gold
at US$10 per resource ounce,
considerably lower than the
majority of our peers”
Tommy McKeith, Executive Vice President, Exploration, Gold Fields
‘Growing Gold Fields’ does not only mean achieving our goal of
5 million quality ounces in production or development by 2015. It
also means pursuing growth in profitable production, earnings and
returns to shareholders on a per share basis. Whilst doing so, we are
also ‘internationalising’ our production base to establish a truly global
presence beyond our historical base in South Africa. This strategy is
taking us into new and promising growth environments, where we are
able to leverage our expertise and capital to expand our production,
as well as our Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.
This growth and diversification is based on three key activities:
- Successful greenfields exploration, both within our established
Australasia, South America and West Africa Regions, and in highly
prospective locations beyond this in Canada and Kyrgyzstan
- Leveraging off our large Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve base
through successful near-mine exploration, for example at Damang in
Ghana, St Ives in Australia and Cerro Corona in Peru
- Advancing development at our four resource development and
feasibility projects in Finland, Mali, Peru and the Philippines
