GOLD FIELDS PUBLISHES INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31
DECEMBER 2015
Johannesburg, 31 March 2016 - Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields)
(JSE, NYSE: GFI) today published its Integrated Annual Report 2015
and a number of associated reports on its website, namely the Notice
to Shareholders of the Annual General Meeting (AGM), the statutory
Annual Financial Report 2015, the 2015 Mineral Resource and Mineral
Reserve Supplement and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4
Content Index. The Integrated Annual Report is also being posted to
shareholders today.
The Integrated Annual Report and the Annual Financial Report
incorporate all aspects of the Group’s business, including reviews
of the South African, West African, Australian and South American
operations, the Group’s project activities, as well as detailed
financial, operational and sustainable development information.
KPMG Inc. have audited the financial statements for the year ended
31 December 2015 included in the Annual Financial Report and their
unmodified audit report is open for inspection at the Company’s
offices.
These financial statements contain modifications from the
preliminary condensed consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2015 published on 18 February 2016 due to an
amendment to the Statement of Financial Position. The amendment
arose from a reclassification of US$42 million of debt under a
revolving senior credit facility from non-current to current
liabilities. Accordingly an abridged report will be published on
SENS following this announcement.
The Integrated Annual Report (plus supporting online information),
the Notice to Shareholders of the AGM, the Annual Financial Report,
the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Supplement and the GRI G4
Content Index are available at www.goldfields.com.
