Gold Fields sells its stake in JV partner

Gold miner Gold Fields has sold more than 87.11-million of its shares in joint venture (JV) partner Gold Road Resources for A$126.3-million.

Gold Fields has told Gold Road that the share sale, which was conducted through an underwritten book build process led by Macquarie Capital, was part of a broader debt reduction strategy and capitalized on the significant gains from its original investment in Gold Road in 2017.
