Higher gold prices and production boosted the gold miner in its year to end-December, with HEPS up more than 300%

Gold Fields says it ended 2020 with a strong rise in production, expecting full-year headline earnings per share to more than quadruple as it reaped the benefit of record precious metal prices.

Full-year production was expected to rise 2% to 2.236-million ounces, which was within its revised guidance.
