ICMM ISSUES GISTM STATEMENT

Johannesburg, 27 July 2023: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE: GFI) has committed to implementing the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) at all our tailings storage facilities (TSFs).

The International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) today issued a media statement outlining the commitment by its member companies, including Gold Fields, to release their self-assessed GISTM conformance for all highest consequence classified TSFs by 5 August 2023. See the ICMM Statement at: https://www.icmm.com/progress-implementing-gistm.

As a member of the ICMM, Gold Fields fully supports the standard and what is planned to be achieved. Over the last three years, our teams have worked tirelessly to ensure that our four TSFs with the highest consequence classification - three TSFs at Tarkwa in Ghana and one TSF at Cerro Corona in Peru - conform to the high standards set by the GISTM. During this time, we have also made considerable progress in implementing the standard at our 33 remaining TSFs.

While we have successfully addressed all elements related to material dam safety and the environment, we have also identified areas for further improvement. We have conducted internal and external third-party reviews to measure our conformance and acknowledge that we have not yet fully addressed all requirements.

We will provide full and transparent disclosure of our progress and conformance status in line with our commitments on 3 August 2023. Our self-assessed disclosure reports and conformance justification will be posted on our website at www.goldfields.com.

The GISTM, as a newly introduced governance and management standard, represents a significant positive step towards raising the standards in tailings management globally, and Gold Fields remains committed to the standard and the ideals it has set out to achieve.
