Gold Fields has bounced back in the first half of the year.

The miner turned net cash flow positive earlier than expected as it swung from a loss of $367m to a profit of $71m and, as a result, the interim dividend has tripled.

The company expects its cash-generating ability to increase in the second half of the year.

Business Day TV caught up with CEO Nick Holland for more detail on the turnaround. ​
