GOLD FIELDS GRANTED INTERDICT TO STOP STRIKE
ACTION
Johannesburg, 31 March 2005: Gold Fields Limited (GFI: JSE
and NYSE) is pleased to announce that the Labour Court this
afternoon granted an interdict in favour of the Company,
declaring the strike embarked on by the National Union of
Mineworkers (NUM) on Wednesday, 30 March 2005, to be
unlawful and unprotected.
This means that all employees participating in the strike at all
South African operations are required immediately to discontinue
their strike action and to return to work.
Gold Fields is in the process of advising the NUM and all
employees of this development and requesting employees to
return to work without further delay. Production activities should
resume from the night shift this evening.
Gold Fields is pleased that this matter has been brought to a
rapid close, thereby minimizing the losses for both the company
and employees.
