Gold Fields reports 15% rise in Q1 gold-equivalent production
Gold Fields had a solid start to 2026, with Q1 gold-equivalent production rising 15% year over year to 633,000 ounces.
The increase was helped by a strong contribution from Salares Norte. Costs rose in the quarter, with all-in sustaining costs up 13% to $1,829 per ounce.
The company generated strong cash flow, cut net debt to $1.3 billion, and allocated $100 million to share buybacks. Operational issues at several mines were described as recoverable.
