GOLD FIELDS PROVIDES CLARIFICATION ON MEDIA REPORTS RELATED TO THE
TARKWA MINING LEASE RENEWAL PROCESS

Gold Fields notes recent media reports referencing the process currently
underway with the Government of Ghana with respect to the renewal of the
Tarkwa mining leases.

The Company confirms, as previously announced, that Gold Fields Ghana
Limited (GFGL), a 90% held subsidiary of Gold Fields and the holding
company for the Tarkwa mine submitted an early application for the five
Tarkwa mining leases that are due for renewal in April 2027, consistent
with the agreement reached with the Government of Ghana in April 2025.
Subsequent to this submission in November 2025, Gold Fields has held
several engagements with the Government of Ghana, with the discussions
now focusing on the terms of the mining lease renewals. The outcome,
timing and terms of the lease renewals remain the subject of these ongoing
engagements with the Government of Ghana.

Gold Fields remains committed to both the Tarkwa mine and its continued
operation in Ghana. Given the Company's experience of delivering safe and
responsible mining operations, employment creation and partnerships in
Ghana, together with its global technical expertise and investment
capacity, Gold Fields believes it is well positioned, subject to the
outcome of the renewal process, to continue operating and growing the
Tarkwa mine beyond the current life of mine, creating shared value for
both Ghana and Gold Fields.

The Company will provide further updates on the Tarkwa lease renewals
should there be any material developments.
