GOLD FIELDS WELCOMES
NORILSK AS LARGEST SHAREHOLDER
Johannesburg, 29 March 2004: Gold Fields Limited (JSE, NYSE: GFI) was today informed that Anglo American plc had sold its 20% stake in Gold Fields to MMC Norilsk Nickel, through its wholly owned subsidiary Norimet Limited ("Norilsk"). 

Norilsk is a producer of base and precious metals, with its main products being Nickel and Palladium. Norilsk also produces copper, cobalt, platinum, gold, silver and other precious metals. Norilsk is headquartered in Moscow and is listed in Moscow as well as via ADR programmes in New York, London and Berlin. 

Ian Cockerill, Chief Executive Officer of Golf Fields said: 

"This is a welcome new development which will bring certainty to the market in Gold Fields shares, especially after the recent speculation about the intentions of Anglo American." 

"Norilsk has done a great deal and we trust we will make them as much money as we did for Anglo American and all our other shareholders." 

"Gold Fields and Norilsk today had preliminary discussions and we have agreed to explore the potential for co-operation with regards to our respective gold assets." 

Gold Fields, one of the largest unhedged gold companies, has attributable annual gold production of 4.33 million ounces, attributable mineral resources of 195 million ounces and attributable mineral reserves of 84 million ounces. It has operations in South Africa, Australia and Ghana (West Africa) and exploration projects in all of the major gold provinces of the world. Gold Fields also owns 100% of the 12 million ounce Arctic Platinum Project, an advanced stage PGM project in Northern Finland. The company's primary listing is on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange in South Africa (GFI) with secondary listings on the London, Euronext, Paris, Brussels, and Swiss exchanges. The company's American Depositary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, also under the symbol GFI.
