MEDIA RELEASE

SEPTEMBER 2011 QUARTER
Johannesburg, 19 October 2011: Gold Fields Limited (Gold
Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) today announced
that attributable Group production for the September 2011
quarter (Q3 2011) is expected to be approximately 900,000
gold equivalent ounces, which is 3 per cent higher than the
previous quarter (Q2 2011 - 872,000oz). The 3 per cent
improvement in production was achieved despite the

day national industrial action over the wage negotiation
process.

November 2011.
