Mining has ceased at all of the nine underground gold mines of Harmony Gold but the Johannesburg- and New York-listed company’s surface retreatment operations and opencast mine will continue to function, collectively producing between 650 kg and 700 kg in the 21-day lockdown period in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company’s Hidden Valley gold mine in Papua New Guinea will also continue to mine, subject to any directive issued in line with the southwestern Pacific country’s coronavirus response.
