MEDIA RELEASE
KDC EAST STRIKE RESOLVED
Johannesburg, 5 September 2012: Gold Fields Limited (Gold
Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) is pleased to announce
that the unlawful strike by 12,000 employees at the KDC East mine
on the West Rand in South Africa has been resolved and that striking
employees have agreed to return to work with the commencement of
the night shift tonight.
The strike was resolved after the national leadership of the National

resolve the differences between them and office bearers of the local
NUM branch.
Nick Holland, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Fields, said: "We
commend the national leadership of the NUM, in particular President
Senzeni Zokwana and General Secretary Frans Baleni, for their bold
leadership in resolving the strike. While we cannot condone the
unlawful nature of the strike, and will implement the no work, no pay
and no dismissal principle, we are pleased with the peaceful manner
in which our employees conducted the strike."
The strike commenced on Wednesday, 29 August 2012, when the
night shift did not turn out for work.
