Gold Fields of South Africa Limited
 PROFILE
Gold Fields of South Africa (GFSA) was liquidated in February 2001. A once-venerable player in South African precious metals, GFSA eventually sold or spun off all of its mining assets. These included merging its gold holdings with those of Gencor to form Gold Fields Limited (the world's #2 gold firm behind Anglogold). GFSA also sold its Gold Fields Coal subsidiary and Gamsberg and Black Mountain zinc and copper mines to Anglo American; its chrome and platinum interests to the Associated Manganese Mines of South Africa; and zinc mining subsidiary Zincor to Iscor, South Africa's largest steel group. After its trading was suspended, GFSA continued as a cash company for several months before liquidating.
