It was a golden result for this year’s Telethon with the annual charity event surging to a $62 million record fundraiser – and once again the gold industry helped provide some sparkle.
Gold Fields again donated a 99.9% pure one-kilogram gold bar for auction at the Telethon Ball held on 16 October, and the precious donation prompted vigorous bidding. Valued at approximately $80,000 the bar was eventually auctioned off for $135,000.
