Harmony, a world-class gold mining and exploration company with a copper footprint, operates in South Africa and Papua New Guinea, one of the world’s premier new gold-copper regions.
With more than 70 years in the industry, Harmony is an experienced emerging-market gold miner. Value-accretive acquisitions have revitalised our company as the largest gold producer by volume in South Africa where the company is also a significant operator of gold tailings retreatment facilities. With a significant portion of the group’s Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in Papua New Guinea, Harmony is also an acknowledged emerging-market specialist. Assets in Papua New Guinea include the Hidden Valley gold mine and our joint-venture stake in the Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project.
WHAT WE DO
Exploration and acquisitions
Exploring for and evaluating economically viable gold-bearing orebodies and/or value-accretive acquisitions
Mining and processing
Establishing, developing and operating mines and related processing infrastructure. Ore mined is milled and processed by our gold plants to produce gold doré bars
Sales and financial management
Generating revenue through the sale of gold produced and optimising efficiencies to maximise financial returns
Stewardship and mine closure
Restoring mining impacted land for alternative economic use post-mining, having in place approved mine closure commitments and empowering communities and employees
WHERE WE OPERATE
In South Africa, our nine underground operations are located within the world-renowned Witwatersrand Basin – one in the Klerksdorp goldfield, three in the West Rand and five in the Free State, in the southern portion of the Witwatersrand Basin. In addition, we have an open-pit mine on the Kraaipan Greenstone Belt as well as several surface treatment operations. At 30 June 2021, our South African operations accounted or 71% of group Mineral Resources (gold and gold equivalent ounces) and 58% of group Mineral Reserves.
In Papua New Guinea, our assets include Hidden Valley, an open-pit gold and silver mine, and a significant gold-copper portfolio that includes a 50% stake in the Wafi-Golpu project, a 50:50 joint venture with Newcrest Mining Limited, in Morobe Province. At 30 June 2021, these assets, which are located on the New Guinea Mobile Belt, accounted for 29% of group Mineral Resources (gold and gold equivalent ounces) and 42% of group Mineral Reserves.
The Tshepong operations constitute an integrated mining complex in the Free State, near the town of Welkom, some 250km from Johannesburg. The deep-level workings include the Tshepong and Phakisa underground sections. The proximity of these two mines has allowed for the integration of operations, facilitating the use of excess hoisting capacity and underused infrastructure at Tshepong section and debottlenecking Phakisa’s constrained infrastructure. Harmony plans to mine the orebody at the Tshepong Operations for the next 20 years.
Conventional undercut mining methods are used at the mature Tshepong section; Phakisa uses the newer conventional undercut and opencut mining method. From Phakisa the rock is transported to the Nyala shaft, where it is hoisted to surface. The principal gold-bearing orebody exploited by both sections is the Basal Reef, with the B Reef mined as a high-grade secondary reef. Mining takes place between 1 500m to 2 300m below surface. Ore mined is processed at the Harmony One plant, where the gold cyanide leaching process is used to recover the gold.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE FY21
Three fatalities during the year prompted a focus on fall-of-ground golden controls, installing additional permanent steel netting and finding a solution to secure these nets close to the to eliminate further fall-of-ground injuries. The lost-time injury frequency rate deteriorated by 8% to 5.44 per million hours worked (FY20: 5.05).
Once again Tshepong operations made the largest contribution, at 16%, to group production; in the absence of lockdowns, operational results improved markedly, which reflected in the financial performance. Capex was 20% higher at R1.1 billion, mainly to provide for development work underground and plant optimisation on surface.
