Gold mining company Gold Fields, which has been trying to get a 40 MW solar power project approved for three years, is hopeful of approval being forthcoming in the next month or two, Gold Fields CEO Nick Holland said on Thursday. “The Minister has acknowledged the importance of this so I’m hopeful we’ll get the approval in the next month or two, and we can start the work. That can make a helluva difference, take the pressure off Eskom, take the pressure off the economy, reduce our carbon footprint, and even more,” Holland said in response to Mining Weekly during a virtual media conference.
