global business. As interim CFO, he successfully delivered the
financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2024, secured
debt financing for the acquisition of Osisko Mining (which was
announced on 12 August 2024) and led the transition of the Finance
function as part of the organisational restructure undertaken by
the Company in 2024. In recent years, Mr. Dall has been pivotal in
structuring, negotiating, and executing group funding strategies,
providing strategic oversight on M&A transactions, and driving
corporate financial, tax and capital efficiency initiatives.
Mr. Dall is a qualified Chartered Accountant South Africa having
obtained his Bachelor of Business Science and Post Graduate Diploma
in Accounting from the University of Cape Town. He joined the
Company in 2014, focusing on SOX and technical accounting work in

completed his articles in the energy and natural resources
department.
Gold Fields Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Mike Fraser, said, "On
behalf of the Company, I would like to congratulate Alex on his
well-deserved appointment as CFO. The leadership he has shown while
in the interim CFO role and the strong contributions he has made
as a member of our Executive Committee during this time, give me
confidence that he will be invaluable as we continue to improve
our safety, operational and financial performance, strengthen our
financial position and grow the Company. I wish Alex every success
in the role."
Chairman of the Board, Mr. Yunus Suleman said, "On behalf of the
Board I would like congratulate Alex on his appointment and welcome
him to the Board. With his deep understanding of the Gold Fields
