UPDATE ON SALARES NORTE PROJECT AND REVISION TO 2024 GROUP GUIDANCE


Revision to Salares Norte Project and Group Guidance

As reported in the Company's Q1 2024 operational update, ramp-up at
the Salares Norte Project ("Salares Norte" or "the Project") has been
negatively impacted by the early onset of winter events in Chile which
have persisted in recent weeks.

These weather events resulted in the freezing of material in the piping
of the process plant ("Plant") causing temporary shutdown of the Plant.
These impacts have been greater than planned owing to the early onset
and extended duration of winter conditions during the commissioning
and ramp-up phase.

The Plant has been restarted, however, commissioning and ramp-up
during the winter period are expected to continue to be challenging,
creating uncertainty on production levels during the winter months.
Calendar year 2024 production for the Project is therefore being
revised down from the previously indicated gold equivalent ounces
range of 220koz – 240koz, to 90koz – 180koz.

The bottom end of this range (90koz) is largely independent of weather
events until late August 2024 and assumes the following for ramp-up from
now until the end of 2024:
   • No production until the end of the winter period, with testing of
      sub-systems only, until end of August 2024.
   • Ramp-up resumes on 1 September 2024.
   • No significant weather events resulting in multiday stoppages from
      September 2024 onwards (weather-related downtime is considered in
      the ramp-up factor).
   • Circuit C commissioning continues from September 2024 onwards, with
      this circuit fully operational by mid-October 2024.
   • Conservative metallurgical recoveries.

The top end of the range (180koz) assumes the following for ramp-up from
now until the end of 2024:
   • Ramp-up resumes on 15 June 2024.
   • No significant weather events that result in multiday stoppages for
      the rest of 2024 (weather-related downtime is considered in the
      ramp-up factor).
   • Circuit C commissioning continues from July 2024 onwards with this
      circuit fully operational by August 2024.
   • Conservative metallurgical recoveries.

The design criteria of the Plant will be capable of handling such
winter weather events at steady state and total Project capital costs
remain in line with the guidance at US$1,180m - US$1,200m.
Due to the Salares Norte production revision, Gold Fields is revising
2024 group production guidance from 2.33Moz - 2.43Moz to 2.20Moz –
2.30Moz.

All-in costs for the group in 2024 are revised from the US$1,600/oz –
US$1,650/oz range previously guided to US$1,675/oz – US$1,740/oz while
guidance for all-in sustaining costs is revised to US$1,470/oz –
US$1,530/oz (compared to the US$1,410/oz – US$1,460/oz range previously
guided).

Update on Chinchilla Capture and Relocation Programme

On 17 May 2024, Gold Fields advised shareholders that Salares Norte
had received an urgent and transitionary measure ("MUT") from Chile's
Superintendence of Environment (the "SMA") ordering temporary
suspension of the dismantling of Rocky Area No 3 ("R3") as part of
its approved Chinchilla capture and relocation plan. On 5 June 2024,
Salares Norte received an updated notice from the SMA extending the
suspension of dismantling R3 for a further 120 days.

Mining operations and project activities are continuing, and focus
remains on ramp-up of the project, respecting the buffer zones
established to avoid any potential disturbance to the Chinchilla and
complying with all other regulatory requirements established by the
authority.

As part of the initial MUT issued on 14 May 2024, the SMA requested
additional information detailing the monitoring activities undertaken
at R3. Salares Norte submitted this information which included
endoscopic probe search and night camera recordings. Gold Fields
continues to engage with the SMA to progress the Chinchilla capture
and relocation programme.

In accordance with the approved capture and relocation plan, Gold Fields
is not planning to undertake any capture and relocation activities during
the winter months at Salares Norte.

The Company is committed to the safe capture and relocation of the
protected Chinchilla species and Salares Norte continues to work with
the SMA and independent environmental experts on all aspects of this
programme.

Salares Norte remains a high quality asset that will contribute
materially to Gold Fields' cashflows in future years.
