GOLD FIELDS GUIDANCE FOR DECEMBER QUARTER 2010                                  
Johannesburg, 10 January 2011: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE,    
NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) has announced that attributable Group production for the     
December quarter 2010 is expected to be approximately 900,000 oz, which is      
similar to last quarter and in line with expectations.                          
Total cash costs are expected to be approximately US$730/oz and notional cash   
expenditure (NCE) about US$1,100/oz. NCE is in line with the higher capital     
expenditure planned, in particular the switch from contractor to owner mining   
at Damang in Ghana.  The guidance is based on an exchange rate of US$6.92 and   
A$/US$0.98.                                                                     
Gold Fields` quarterly results as well as results for the six months ending     
December 2010 will be released on Friday, 18 February 2011.  Gold Fields has    
changed its financial year-end from end-June to end-December and guidance for
