Gold Fields Ltd., which spun off most of its South African mines last year, said its St Ives operation in Australia was named in a lawsuit brought by indigenous people claiming land.
The claim by the Ngadju people relates to an area covering about 250 mining tenements, or production areas, held by St Ives, Johannesburg-based Gold Fields said in a statement today. The State of Western Australia is lead respondent in the case, while St Ives is named as an additional respondent, it said.
