“The exceptional performance achieved in the first half of FY21 substantiates the growth strategy that we set out to pursue at the beginning of 2016. Through astute acquisitions, we have successfully added quality ounces to our portfolio and de-risked our asset portfolio. We are also seeing a significant improvement in our overall grade and cash flow. Harmony is no longer a marginal gold producer, but an emerging mining specialist with a diversified and de-risked asset portfolio. On the back of our investment in growth assets, a stronger operational performance from our mines in H1FY21 and a strategy aimed at delivering positive shareholder returns, we are pleased to announce an interim dividend of 110 SA cents (approximately 7.5 US cents),” said Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony.
