MEDIA RELEASE
New head for Gold Fields Australasia
Johannesburg, 24 March 2010: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE,
NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) today announces the appointment of
Richard Weston as Executive Vice-President of its Australasian Region
with effect from May 1. Weston will be part of the company’s Executive
Committee reporting to CEO Nick Holland.
Weston brings a wealth of experience in the precious metals industry to
Gold Fields. He joins the company from Coeur d’Alene Mines Corporation,
a gold and silver mining company based in Idaho in the United States. As
Senior Vice-President, Operations, Weston, oversaw a wide portfolio of
gold and silver mines in North and South America. Coeur d’Alene is one of
the world’s largest silver miners as well as a significant gold producer.
Weston (58), an Australian, has a M.Sc. in Mining Geomechanics from the
University of New South Wales and B. Engineering from Sydney
University. Before joining Coeur in 2006 he led the site team responsible
for the development of Barrick Australia’s Cowal Gold Project and, prior to
that, he headed operations at Rio Tinto Australia’s ERA Ranger and
Jabiluka uranium mines in the Northern Territory.
Weston’s appointment at Gold Fields completes the reorganisation of the
company’s executive team started last year. Located in Perth, Weston will
take responsibility for the two existing mines in Australia, St Ives and
Agnew, and will work with the business development and exploration
executives to grow production in Australasia to one million ounces per
annum over the next three to five years.
Nick Holland, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Fields, said: “Given Gold
Fields’ international growth and regionalisation strategy, our expanding
footprint around the globe has required a strengthening of the Group’s
executive team. Richard certainly fits the bill.”
