MEDIA RELEASE

Trading statement for H1 2019


Johannesburg, 2 August 2019: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE,
NYSE: GFI) advises that basic earnings per share for the six months ended 30
June 2019 (H1 2019) is expected to be between USą8.0-10.0 per share, an
improvement of USą53.0-55.0 per share (118-122%) from the basic loss of
USą45.0 per share reported for the six months ended 30 June 2018 (H1 2018).

Headline earnings per share (HEPS) for H1 2019 are expected to be 10-15%
(USą0.8-1.2 per share) lower at USą6.8-7.2 per share from the USą8 per share
reported for H1 2018

Normalised earnings for H1 2019 are expected to be USą13.0-17.0 per share,
160-240% (USą8.0-12.0 per share) higher than the USą5.0 per share reported
for H1 2018.

Attributable gold equivalent production for the six months ended 30 June
2019 increased by 9% YoY to 1,083koz (H1 2018: 994koz), mainly due to the
inclusion of the contribution from Asanko in H1 2019.
On 14 November 2018, the World Gold Council (WGC) published an update to its
guidance on the interpretation of all-in sustaining costs (AISC) and all-in
costs (AIC). Gold Fields has adopted the revision prospectively from 1
January 2019. Based on the revised WGC guidance, AISC for the Group is
US$891/oz for H1 2019. On the previous interpretation, AISC for the period
was US$973/oz (H1 2018: US$965/oz), marginally higher YoY.

AIC for H1 2019 was 5% lower YoY at US$1,106/oz (H1 2018: US$1,169/oz) as
project capital started to decrease. AIC reporting was not affected by the
revised WGC guidance.

For Q2 2019 attributable group gold-equivalent production was 541koz (Q1
2019: 542koz), with AISC (new interpretation) of US$910/oz (Q1 2019:
US$871/oz); AISC (previous interpretation) of US$985/oz (Q1 2019: US$963/oz)
and AIC of US$1,132/oz (Q1 2019: US$1,080/oz).

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not
been reviewed, and reported on, by the Company's external auditors.

Gold Fields will release H1 2019 financial results on Thursday, 15 August
2018.
