  7. Tarkwa Gold Mine A Brief History Date Activity • Gold Fields signed a management contract with the Government of Ghana to operate 1993 the mine • Initial Tarkwa Phase I development completed for an open pit operation, mining 1998 14.5Mtpa including 4.7Mtpa of heap leach feed ore • Tarkwa phase II expansion completed to increase mining rate to 20.7Mtpa. All 1999 underground operations and associated processing plant ceased production • GFG acquired the Northern area of Teberebie from Ghanaian Australian Goldfields 2000 Limited and re-commissioned the open pit and heap leach operations. Tarkwa Phase III increased mining rate to 36 Mtpa and heap leach ore production to 12.6 Mtpa • Tarkwa implemented owner mining in July 2004 and commissioned CIL plant with 2004 “name plate” capacity of 4.2Mtpa in October 2004 • Conversion to owner maintenance was completed, with the inherent cost savings and 2010 productivity gains materialising within a short period of time • 2013 North and South Heap Leach operations stopped • 2014 CIL Plant upgrade to 13.5Mtpa 2015 Analyst Site Visit - Tarkwa Gold Mine | Tarkwa Team | May 2015 7
