MEDIA RELEASE
Jacobsz to Head Up North American Investor and
Media Relations for Gold Fields
Johannesburg, 31 July 2007: Gold Fields Limited (“Gold
Fields”) (NYSE, JSE, DIFX: GFI) is pleased to announce that
Willie Jacobsz has been appointed to head up Investor and
Media Relations for Gold Fields in North America.
Ian Cockerill, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Fields said: “Over
the past year Gold Fields’ shareholder base in North America
has seen significant growth, to the extent that more than half of
our shareholders now reside in that market. Because of the
growing importance of the North American markets to Gold
Fields, we have decided to redeploy Willie to North America.
He is a seasoned Gold Fields executive with an intimate
knowledge of the Company and well-known in that market.”
Willie has been with Gold Fields for 18 years, and a member of
the Group Executive Committee, heading up Corporate Affairs
and Investor Relations, for the past six years. Since the start of
2007 he headed up Sustainable Development and Corporate
Affairs.
As a consequence of this move Jacobsz will relinquish
executive responsibility for the Corporate Affairs portfolio to
Nerina Bodasing, who will also retain her current portfolio as
Group Head of Investor Relations.
Willie, who will retain executive responsibility for the Group’s
Sustainable Development Portfolio, will be based in Boston.
