Winston Score History

The full picture

Gold Fields Limited is a major gold mining company based in South Africa. It digs gold out of the ground at mines located across multiple continents and sells that gold to refiners, central banks, jewelers, and industrial buyers around the world. Gold Fields is one of the largest gold producers globally, with a portfolio of mines spanning South Africa, Ghana, Australia, Peru, and Chile.

The company makes money by selling the gold it produces, so its revenue rises and falls with the global price of gold. With a gross margin near 59% and strong returns on invested capital, Gold Fields has shown it can run its mines efficiently compared to many peers. It operates at significant scale, producing millions of ounces of gold per year. The key growth driver is the Salares Norte mine in Chile, which reached full production recently and is expected to meaningfully boost output — though falling gold prices or rising mining costs remain the primary risks to profitability.
