GOLD FIELDS GUIDANCE FOR 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 interruption in              
production in July which occurred during the five day national industrial       
action over the wage negotiation process.                                       
The full results for Q3 2011 will be published on Thursday, 10 November         
2011.
