delighted that all conditions precedent have now been met and that we
can move towards the successful completion of these transactions.”

“Following today’s ruling we can close the transaction with Barrick Gold
through which we will acquire their 50% stake in South Deep. Western
Areas shareholders can now also accept Gold Fields’ offer in terms of
which we aim to acquire all of those Western Areas shares which we
do not already own”, said Cockerill.

high quality, long-life assets. It makes commercial and operational
