Summary of Damang Reinvestment Plan
Investing in a key operating region

Reinvestment will extend Damangs life of mine (LOM) by 8 years from 2017 to 2024
US$1.4bn in total operating and capital expenditure over LOM
Will enhance Gold Fields presence in key operating region and result in significant social
benefits
Benefits of the Development Agreement have been key inputs into the Plan and enhance the
economics of the project
Operating metrics:
165Mt will be mined over a 7-year period
32Mt will be processed at a grade of 1.65g/t, resulting in gold production of 1.56Moz
Average annual production of c.225koz and AIC of US$950/oz over LOM
Social and fiscal benefits:
Direct employment of 1,850 people (c.55% from catchment community)
Investment in sustainable development projects of US$5m

A new lease on life
