99.1						Gold Fields SENS Announcement

Page 1 of 3 Gold Fields Limited Reg. No. 1968/004880/06) Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) JSE, NYSE, DIFX Share Code: GFI ISIN Code:ZAE000018123 (Gold Fields or the Company) TRADING STATEMENT AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE UPDATE FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 In compliance with paragraph 3.4(b)(iii) of the JSE Listings Requirements, Gold Fields advises that headline earnings per share (HEPS) for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (H1 2024) are expected to be in the range of US$0.38 to US$0.34 per share, which is 25% to 33% lower than HEPS reported for the six months ended 30 June 2023 (H1 2023) of US$0.51 per share. Basic earnings per share (EPS) for H1 2024 are expected to be in the range of US$0.45 to US$0.41 per share which is 12% to 20% lower than the EPS reported for H1 2023 of US$0.51 per share. Earnings in H1 2023 included US$0.02 per share for the Company’s interest in the Asanko joint venture, the divestment of which was announced in December 2023. The decrease in headline, basic and normalised earnings expected in H1 2024 is primarily due to: • lower production at the South Deep mine due to increased backfill rehandling and challenging ground conditions which have impacted stope access, stope turnaround, planned volumes and grade mix; • lower production at the Gruyere mine, following a significant rainfall event in March 2024; • lower production at the St Ives mine, in line with the mine plan for 2024; and • a delayed ramp-up at Salares Norte, all of which resulted in lower gold volumes sold in H1 2024. In addition, cost of sales were higher, driven by mining inflation and a higher gold inventory change cost. These negative impacts on earnings were partly offset by the higher gold price received. Gold volumes sold are expected to improve in the second half of 2024 with the ramp- up of Salares Norte and production improvements at the Gruyere, St Ives and South Deep mines. Further detail will be provided as part of the H1 2024 financial and operational results to be released by Gold Fields on Friday, 23 August 2024. Ranges for headline, basic and normalised earnings per share* for continuing and discontinued operations are indicated as follows: H1 2024 H1 2023 Variance Variance US$ cents per share US$ cents per share US$ cents per share % Range Actual Range Range HEPS 34 to 38 51 (13) to (17) (25%) to (33%) - Continuing operations 34 to 38 49 (11) to (15) (22%) to (31%) - Discontinued operation - 2 (2) (100%)

Q2 2024 operational performance For Q2 2024, attributable gold equivalent production is expected to be 454koz (Q1 2024: 464koz), with all-in costs (AIC) expected to be US$2,008/oz (Q1 2024: US$2,115/oz). All-in sustaining cost (AISC) for Q2 2024 is expected to be US$1,751/oz (Q1 2024: US$1,738/oz). H1 2024 operational performance Attributable gold equivalent production for H1 2024 at 918koz is expected to be 20% lower than the corresponding period in 2023 (H1 2023: 1,154koz). The lower gold volumes sold, which are expected to improve the second half of the year, have had a significant impact on unit costs for the period with AIC for H1 2024 expected to be 47% higher year-on-year at US$2,060/oz (H1 2023: US$1,398/oz) and AISC expected to be 44% higher at US1,745/oz (H1 2023: US$1,215/oz). AIC and AISC were also impacted by an 18% increase in capital expenditure (which included increased capitalised waste stripping at Gruyere, St Ives and Tarkwa mines and renewable energy capital at the St Ives mine) as well as a higher gold inventory change cost. The operational performance and the financial information on which this trading statement is based have not been reviewed, and reported on, by the Company’s external auditors.
