Bakubung Platinum Mine
Wesizwe's core project is the Bakubung Platinum Mine (formerly known as the Frischgewaagd-Ledig project). The property consists of various portions of the farm Frischgewaagd 96 JQ and Ledig 909 JQ. These two farms are located directly south of the Pilanesberg complex.
The project site is situated directly adjacent to the western side of the Royal Bafokeng Platinum Styldrift project and immediately north of Maseve's Project 1, owned in partnership with Canadian group Platinum Group Metals (PTM). These properties are all located on the Western Limb of the mineral-rich Bushveld Igneous Complex in the North West province of South Africa. The Bakubung Platinum Mine will comprise of an underground mine with a twin vertical shaft system - a main shaft and a ventilation shaft which will also function as the second escape route – and a process plant.
The main shaft is planned to have a hoisting capacity of 230 000 tonnes of ore plus 40 000 tonnes of waste per month. Initially the Merensky Reef ore will be mined at the rate of 180 000 tonnes and the UG2 ore will make up the balance of 50 000 tonnes per month. Once the Merensky has been depleted, the full 230 000 tonnes will be generated from UG2 ore. It is anticipated that the annual 4E (3 PGM + Au) production during steady state be around 420 000 ounces.
The Merensky Reef will be mined using conventional stoping methods and the UG2 using semi-mechanised methods, also known as hybrid methods. Crushing will be done underground from where the reefs will be separately conveyed to stockpiles at the concentrator plant. The concentrator design has emanated from the results of the test work conducted during the bankable feasibility study and is based on a standard PGM plant layout. Options for collaboration in developing a joint concentrator plant with neighbours Maseve are being investigated to exploit benefits from economies of scale and sharing capital infrastructure costs.
Developing a Mine
Wesizwe officially launched the Bakubung Platinum Mine development project on 4 July 2011. TWP Projects, a highly-competent engineering and project management company that has significant mine development experience in South Africa’s PGM industry, was appointed as EPCM (engineering, procurement, construction management) contractor for the first 12 months of mine development – from July 2011 to June 2012 – with the aim of concluding the final EPCM contract for the full scope. The initial scope of this work included all project critical activities that enabled the project to start pre-sink preparation on the main and ventilation shafts in the first half of 2012.
At the end of March 2012, Wesizwe awarded the shaft sinking contract for the Bakubung Platinum Mine to Aveng Grinaker-LTA. Six local and international companies were invited to tender and the 1.64 billion contract was awarded following a thorough technical and commercial adjudication process. In selecting the contractor for the single largest capital cost item in the development programme, the adjudication team considered the commercial offer, the technical expertise and experience, as well as a number of other important factors which included the company’s ownership structure; systems and resources; and its safety, health and environment track record. Aveng Grinaker-LTA has been involved with the development of mines for the past three decades and has considerable shaft sinking experience.
The pollution control dam 1 was part of the initial site preparation work completed mid-2011. Work is advancing on the pollution control dam 2 which will increase the holding capacity to 50 000l3 to 60 000l3 which equates to around two thirds of the required capacity at full production.
The site team has moved into the on-site offices, security and access control is now in place on site and the access road to the site is almost complete. The process of project revalidation is also being finalised in preparation for project debt fund-raising.
Securing bulk services
Temporary water and power supply has been established and the project team is working on securing more permanent bulk services to the mine.
Wesizwe has paid South Africa’s national energy supplier, Eskom, the requisite deposit of R58 million and has provided the required performance guarantees of around R31 million, enabling Eskom to commit to provide a permanent power supply for phase 1.
Power supply of 8MW - which is sufficient for shaft-sinking (to the end of 2018) - is scheduled to be available from September 2012 when the mine will convert from pre-sink to slow sink. The Eskom sub-station construction is on track, with the high tension cable duct from the sub-station to the main power points on the mine already dug and being concreted. In phase 2 the power supply will increase to 60MW to accommodate the move towards full production and processing through the concentrator plant. Negotiations around phase 2 are ongoing with Eskom.
Wesizwe has secured temporary water supply of 200 000 litres per day which is sufficient to the end of shaft sinking. However, the company requires a supply of six million litres per day fresh feed at full production. A process is underway with the Magalies Water Authority and other interested parties, which include neighbouring mining companies, local and provincial municipal structures and community representatives, to secure water supply in a way that not only benefits the mining companies, who will derive maximum advantage from a synergistic approach to their infrastructure needs, but also the communities in the area who currently have limited access to fresh water supply.
Wesizwe has appointed a housing programme specialist who will advise the company on the construction of housing for employees. The scope of work includes understanding the requirements of the mine, development of a policy, indentifying the most appropriate location, and determining an accommodation model and the related funding requirements. Again, opportunities for collaboration are being explored with other mining companies in the area

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.
Doornkop is a mature, deep-level single-shaft operation some 30km west of Johannesburg, on the northern rim of the Witwatersrand Basin. Its remaining life of mine is currently 14 years.
The operation focuses on narrow-reef conventional mining of the South Reef gold-bearing conglomerate reef. Mining reaches depths of 2 219m. Ore is processed at the Doornkop plant, which uses the carbon-in-pulp process.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE FY21
Sadly, the Doornkop plant recorded one fatality, and the LTIFR deteriorated by 13% to 6.9 per million hours worked.
Operating efficiencies contributed to higher gold production at 3 670kg, reflecting a 25% increase in mill tonnes which helped to offset the marginal drop in grade. This is a ten-year record for Doornkop.
Plant optimisation and ongoing development boosted capex by 51%, thereby directly benefitting production levels.
The 36% increase in revenues reflected the substantially higher production and the 14% improvement in the gold price over the period. Cash operating costs were 29% higher at R2 186 million, attributable mainly to wage increases, higher electricity tariffs and additional labour.
Masimong is a deep-level mine in the Free State, near Welkom, around 260km from Johannesburg. The operation is close to the end of its mine life, with some 18 months of mining remaining. Masimong is an example of the effectiveness of Harmony’s business model.
The Masimong complex comprises two shafts – one for operational use and the other for services such as ventilation, pumping and an escape route. Masimong exploits the Basal and B Reefs, using a conventional tabular narrow-reef stoping method. Mining depths are between of 1 650m to 2 010m. Ore mined is processed at the nearby Harmony One plant.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE FY21
A good safety performance was achieved, with 2 million fatality free shifts recorded and no loss of life. Gold production was marginally higher at 2 012kg with milled tonnes up 4% at 510 000 tonnes. The underground grade was lower at 3.95g/t (FY20: 4.09g/t). The higher gold price helped to boost revenues, by 17%, to R1 636 million.
Wage increases and higher electricity tariffs drove cash operating costs up by 16% to R1 440 million. Capital expenditure increased by 21% to R29 million (FY20: 24 million), allocated mainly to ongoing development work.
