Description: GFI Gold Fields January 29, 2026

Gold Fields Ltd (NYSE:GFI) is a vertically integrated gold producer with operating mines and development projects spanning Australia, South Africa, Ghana, Peru, Chile, and Canada, and it also holds exploratory assets for copper and silver. Founded in 1887 and headquartered in Sandton, South Africa, the company reports under the “Gold” sub-industry of the GICS classification.

As of the latest quarterly release (Q4 2023), Gold Fields produced 2.4 million ounces of gold, a 5 % increase YoY, while its all-in sustaining cash cost fell to US$945 per ounce, driven by operational efficiencies at the South African and Australian mines. The firm’s proven and probable reserves stood at 13.8 million ounces, and its resource base exceeded 30 million ounces, providing a reserve-to-production ratio of roughly 6 years. A key sector driver remains the macro-economic environment: real-interest-rate differentials and persistent inflation have kept the spot gold price above US$1,950/oz in Q4 2023, supporting revenue outlooks.
