Gold Fields cautiously inspects South Deep.

"Gold Fields is wavering over the benefits of buying Western Areas Limited's 50% stake in South Deep, the west rand gold mine jointly run with Canadian company Placer Dome. However, the joint venture insists Gold Fields, its only suitor, has not gone cold on the proposed transaction.... A value of $300m has been placed on buying half of the South Deep mine, a project that will produce 1-million ounces of gold a year in 2005.
