production guidance provided in August 2022. Our four strategic pillars
are: responsible stewardship, operational excellence, cash certainty
and effective capital allocation. Continued focus is placed on delivering
safe production and value creation through execution excellence and
productivity initiatives. To boost our existing copper footprint, Harmony
announced the acquisition of Eva Copper in Australia on 6 October 2022.
Alongside the Tier 1 Wafi-Golpu project in PNG, this investment introduces
lower-risk, near-term copper into the Harmony portfolio. This acquisition
complements our investments in our higher-grade and higher-margin
assets and will ensure we continue to deliver on our strategy of safe
profitable ounces.
Our embedded approach to sustainable mining practices and meaningful
investment in organic and inorganic growth will deliver long-term value
creation for all our stakeholders.
