Gold major Gold Fields, led by CEO Nick Holland, has increased its production guidance for this year to between 2.1-million and 2.15-million ounces, up from its previous guidance of 2.05-million to 2.1-million ounces. This, the company reported, was on the back of “better-than-expected” performance from its South Deep operations, near Johannesburg, where guidance has been lifted from 257 000 oz to 289 000 oz for the full year.
