About this report

The Gold Fields Integrated Annual Report 2011, which covers the 12 months to end December 2011, is made up of the following three volumes:

• The Integrated Annual Review 2011, which examines the integrated nature of our operational and sustainability performance
• The Annual Financial Report 2011, which fulfils our statutory financial reporting requirements
• The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Overview 2011, which provides detailed technical and operational information on our mines and growth projects

This Integrated Annual Review provides an overview of Gold Fields eight global operations on a Group and mine-by-mine basis. The report also describes our exploration and business development activities.

We do this using an integrated approach to reporting that examines our operational, sustainability and financial performance.

The aim of our integrated approach is to enable investors and other stakeholders – including host governments, local communities and our employees – to make a more informed assessment of the value of Gold Fields and our ability to flourish in the new growth environments of tomorrow.
