Harmony Gold Mining Company
About Harmony Gold Mining Company
Overview
Harmony Gold Mining Company is a South African-based gold mining company with operations in South Africa and Papua New Guinea. As one of South Africa's largest gold producers, Harmony has extensive experience in both underground and surface mining operations. The company has successfully consolidated assets in South Africa while diversifying internationally through the acquisition of the Hidden Valley mine in PNG.
Operations
Harmony operates nine underground operations and one open-pit operation in South Africa across the Witwatersrand Basin and Free State goldfields, producing from some of the world's deepest gold mines. The company also operates the Hidden Valley gold-silver mine in Papua New Guinea. Harmony produces approximately 1.5 million ounces of gold annually and has significant mineral resources for long-term production.
Strategy
The company's strategy emphasizes safe mining practices in challenging deep underground environments, optimizing its South African asset base through operational improvements and cost management, extending mine life through brownfield exploration and development, growing production from Hidden Valley and pursuing additional international opportunities, and maintaining financial flexibility to navigate the gold price cycle.
Key Projects
Major projects include the Zaaiplaats project (construction underway to access high-grade ore zones at Moab Khotsong), Mine Waste Solutions treating historical tailings, Golpu copper-gold project in Papua New Guinea (JV with Newcrest, one of the world's largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits), and ongoing exploration programs targeting mine life extensions at South African operations.
