Gold Fields is pleased to announce the appointment of Yunus Suleman (59)
as independent non-executive director to the Board of Gold Fields Limited
(the "Board"). The appointment of Mr Suleman takes effect on 1 September
2016.

Gold Fields Chairperson Cheryl Carolus said the appointment of Mr Suleman
will offer the company a strong financial and governance skills set as he
has extensive experience in the auditing profession and has worked in
various capacities with listed companies in the South African retail,
financial services, oil & gas and manufacturing sectors.

Together with the recent appointment of Terence Goodlace, the CEO of
Impala Platinum, the experience of these individuals will add considerably
to the mining and financials skills set of the Board. Other future Board
appointments are also being considered as a number of the current
directors are approaching the compulsory retirement age over the next two
years.

Mr Suleman is an independent non-executive director of Liberty Holdings,
Tiger Brands, Enactus SA, Albaraka Bank and is the Global Treasurer of the
World Memon Organisation. He was previously Chair of KPMG Africa. Mr
