A number of automation projects are being considered at Gold Fields’ South Deep, the bulk mechanised underground gold mine in Gauteng, south-west of Johannesburg. After reporting 7% higher overall year-on-year group production of 557 000 oz for the three months to September 30, Gold Fields CEO Nick Holland said of South Deep that has been built to extract one of the world’s largest gold deposits: “South Deep has had a tremendous recovery in quarter three as we got our people back. We showed very good results.”
