Harmony Gold Mining Co., Ltd. (NYSE: HMY):
Harmony is one of the world’s leading top ten gold producers, operating 22 individual mines and projects in South Africa and Papua New Guinea (PNG). In FY08 Harmony produced 1.6 Moz of gold, primarily from its operations in South Africa. The Group’s capital growth campaign in South Africa and PNG combined will, exploit 20Moz of gold. Current projects in PNG are Hidden Valley and Wafi/Golpu will be exploited and developed with JV partner, Newcrest Mining Ltd, Australia.
In South Africa, Evander South in Mpumalanga offers several new opportunities for additional reserves. This implies commensurate exploration opportunities for the adjacent Poplar and Rolspruit areas. Furthermore, with the strong Rand/Dollar gold price, growth opportunities are plentiful from the 1 billion tons of surface tailings in the Free State of which the possibility of treating 12Mt a year at St Helena over the next 20 years will be investigated.
