Harmony completes Hidden Valley acquisition
Johannesburg, Tuesday, 25 October 2016: Harmony Gold Mining Company
Limited (“Harmony” and/or “the company”) today announced that South African
regulatory approval has been obtained in support of its acquisition of the Hidden
Valley mine in Papua New Guinea. The transaction is now complete.
Harmony’s acquisition of its joint venture partner’s 50% share in Hidden Valley
and the surrounding tenement package in Papua New Guinea, is in line with the
company’s overall aspiration to increase its annual production profile to 1.5Moz
within three years.
Harmony plans to invest and develop stages 5 and 6 of the mine initially, mining
approximately 1.4Moz ounces of gold and 27Moz of silver over a period of seven
years. The company believes that Hidden Valley has the potential to contribute
approximately 180,000oz gold per annum to Harmony’s production profile, at an
all-in sustaining cost of less than US$950/oz.
“Harmony has the skills and technology to successfully recommission one of
PNG’s most recent mine developments”, said chief executive officer
Peter Steenkamp.
An update on the mine’s life of mine plan will be included in Harmony’s
production update, which will be released on the 10
th
of November 2016.
