Gold Fields says South Africa mine turnaround opens way for deal

Gold Fields said the turnaround of South Deep opens the way for the company to do a deal at its last South African mine. The company would consider different “corporate structures” for South Deep, after it returned to profit in 2019 following more than ten years of losses, according to CEO Nick Holland. The mine needs to build a track record of profitability before a final decision is taken in February 2021, he said in an interview.
