MEDIA RELEASE
Talas Copper Gold Project
Johannesburg, 24 May 2013: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields)
(JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) today announced that its wholly
owned subsidiary, Gold Fields Orogen Holding BVI Ltd, has
appointed Jefferies International as exclusive financial advisor to
assist with a review of potential strategic alternatives in relation to
the Talas Copper Gold Project in Kyrgyzstan.
The strategic review will examine and consider opportunities
available to the company with the objective of further enhancing
shareholder value. The strategic review will not necessarily result in
any specific strategic or financial transaction and no timetable has
been set for its completion. Gold Fields will keep shareholders
updated on the strategic review process and any material
developments.
About the Talas Copper Gold Project:
The Talas Copper Gold Project (100% owned by Gold Fields) is
situated in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) in Kyrgyzstan,
which is widely recognised as the second largest gold province by

Murantau (110 million ounces of gold-equivalent), Almalyk (80 million
ounces of gold-equivalent) and Oyu Tolgoi (100 billion pounds of
copper, 60 million ounces of gold).
As of 31 December 2012, the Talas Copper Gold Project contained
mineral resources of 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 6.7 million
