GOLD FIELDS APPOINTS SENIOR EXECUTIVES
Johannesburg, South Africa, 18 March 2013. Gold Fields Limited
(JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ, Dubai: GFI) is pleased to announce the
appointment of three new senior executives to the company’s Executive
Committee.
Kgabo Moabelo has been promoted to Gold Fields’ Managing
Executive, South Africa. He was previously the Executive Vice-President
for People and Organisational Effectiveness for the Group, including its
international operations. His appointment took effect on March 1, 2013.
“Following the unbundling of Sibanye Gold from Gold Fields it had
become necessary to review the managing structure for the South Africa
Region and the South Deep mine,” said Gold Fields CEO Nick Holland.
“Kgabo will have full responsibility for South Deep’s business and
operational performance in addition to dealing with the many outside
stakeholders that fall within the ambit of the company’s South African
operations,” Mr Holland added.
South Deep is a crucial pillar in the growth of Gold Fields accounting for
a significant portion of the company’s Mineral Reserves and future
production profile. The mine is expected to achieve its full production
rate of 700,000 ounces a year by 2016.
Mr Moabelo joined Gold Fields in 2010 from Cisco Systems and has
held leadership roles not only in mining but in energy, financial services
and information technology.
His position as head of HR will be taken by Lee-Ann Samuel, who will
become Gold Fields’ Senior Vice-President, Human Resources and
previously headed the company’s Remuneration and Employee Benefits
portfolio. Ms Samuel, who joined Gold Fields in 2009, has held a
number of managerial positions at large private sector companies and
has consulted widely to local and provincial government departments.
The third appointment is that of Ernesto Balarezo, who has joined the
company as Executive Vice-President for South America, to replace
Juan-Luis Kruger. Mr Balarezo, a Peruvian national, joins Gold Fields
from Hochschild Mining, a Lima-listed mining company, where he was
Vice-President, Operations. He has altogether 21 years of professional
experience in the industrial and mining industry.
Mr Kruger left Gold Fields to become CEO of a privately-held mining
company in Peru.
