Rumble Resources confirms potential tungsten discovery at Australian gold project
Drilling in 2021 returned significant intersections such as 12 metres grading 0.56% tungsten oxide.
Harmony Gold Mining Co. said its profit in the last fiscal year likely rose 78% after it increased output as bullion prices notched successive records.
The Johannesburg-listed company expects to post earnings per share of as much as 13.88 rand ($0.78) for the 12 months through June, up from 7.80 rand in the same period a year earlier, according to a statement released on Monday. It will release financial statements on Sept. 5.
Harmony said separately last week that production exceeded guidance last year, growing by 6% to 1.56 million ounces, from mines in South Africa and Papua New Guinea. The price of the precious metal has risen more than 20% since the start of 2024.
Earlier this year, the company said it will extend the life of its Mponeng asset east of Johannesburg. The project – the world’s deepest mine – has become a star performer for Harmony since it was acquired from AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. in 2020.
Harmony said profit before some one-time items — known as headline earnings — increased by as much as 131.6% to 18.52 rand per share. The firm’s shares have risen more than 40% since the beginning of the year.
