This is the story of 25 tumultuous years in the life of Gold
fields, one of the world's great mining companies. If it is true
that 'Big business' is the last adventure frontier, then mining for
gold has to be the most adventurous, dangerous and unpredictable
business pursuit of them all. Mining is all about risk – risk and
reward. Gold Fields, fourth-biggest gold producer in the world, has
confronted risk many times in its history. Mining four kilometres
under the earth as well as surface mining, it has flirted with
disaster as often as it has known triumph. Viewed from a distance,
great companies seem to float serenely across untroubled waters.
But the reality is very different. Mining is about people too –
strong-minded people ready to take chances and back their own
judgement. Such forceful and dauntless personalities tend to clash.
Battlefields of gold is not merely a history. It tells the stories,
largely untold, of what really went on behind the scenes as the
company fought time and again for survival. Fast-paced and pulling
no punches, this tell-all history provides intriguing insights into
the boardroom battles, risky ventures and tempestuous corporate
climate of this giant gold producer.
