News24 Business | Gold Fields snaps up Australian rival in R44bn deal

  • On May 5, 2025, Gold Fields announced its plan to acquire Australian miner Gold Road Resources for around A$3.7 billion, enabling it to gain full control of the Gruyere gold mine joint venture located in Western Australia.
  • The acquisition follows Gold Road’s rejection of an earlier lower bid and is driven by rising gold prices and industry consolidation amid geopolitical uncertainties and a strong gold market rally.
  • Gold Fields currently co-owns the Gruyere mine with Gold Road under a joint venture and will gain full control, streamlining operations and acquiring additional land assets and the Yamarna mine project.
  • Gold Road shareholders will receive A$3.40 per share, a 14.5% premium over the last closing price, triggering a 12% share price rally and attracting investor interest on the ASX leaderboard.
  • This deal highlights a wave of mergers in the Australian gold sector, reflecting high asset valuations amid record gold prices and a consolidating market likely to see further acquisitions.
