This payment was made using cash on hand, undrawn debt facilities and liquidity facilities totaling US$750m that were executed in October 2024. The Company remains in a solid financial position, maintaining its investment grade credit rating following settlement of the Transaction Consideration. Gold Fields’ financial position is expected to improve further, with strong cash flow growth expected for the balance of the year and into 2025, as production volumes increase at several of its operations. Mike Fraser, CEO of Gold Fields, welcomed completion of the Transaction saying: “Deposits of the scale and quality of Windfall with highly prospective exploration camps are rare, particularly in a world-class jurisdiction like Québec, Canada. This transaction therefore marks an important step in our journey to continue improving the quality of our portfolio.
