Gold Fields says licence not at risk
"We believe our licence is not at risk as we are working with the DMR to resolve issues," he said.
The Business Day newspaper said the state had threatened to halt Gold Fields' operations at South Deep, its only remaining South African asset, for failure to provide accommodation to 2,600 employees at the mine and other alleged transgressions.
South Deep is a mechanised operation attempting to unlock the wealth of one of the world's largest gold reserves but its production targets have constantly shifted, much to the annoyance of investors.
