Harmony expects 10% rise in Q1 output

JSE-listed Harmony Gold Mining expects its total gold production for the three months to September 30, to be 8% to 10% higher than that produced in the three months to June 30. Gold production from its South African operations increased by 16% quarter-on-quarter, owing to an increase in both tonnes and grade, while production at Hidden Valley in Papua New Guinea was negatively impacted by a fatality.
