PROFILE |
 |
One of the world's largest gold exploration and development companies, Gold Fields was formed from the merged gold interests of Gold Fields of South Africa and Gencor Limited. The company now ranks #2 among South Africa's gold producers (after Anglogold, the world's top gold miner). Its acquisitions have included Driefontein Consolidated's holdings (through a 1999 reverse acquisition) and St Helena Gold Mines. Gold Fields produces about four million ounces of gold a year at its mines in South Africa (Beatrix, Driefontein, Kloof, Leeudoorn, Libanon, Oryx, St Helena) and Ghana (Tarkwa). Its properties' mineral reserves contain more than 70 million ounces of gold. Anglogold is Gold Fields' largest shareholder (17%).
