My apologies for mentioning a specific company, but it is a perfect example of how the weak rand has resulted in strong earnings, reduced costs, and actually increased production ! Gold Fields Limited Reports Record Earnings - Earnings tripled up from R203 to R640 million (US$24 million to US$67 million) - Operating profit doubled up from R498 million to R1,064 million (US$59 million to US$110 million) - Attributable gold output up 11% from 886,000 ounces to 984,000 ounces - Cash costs down 16% from US$200/oz to US$169/oz REF: biz.yahoo.com
