Mining Weekly reports that gold and copper producer Harmony Gold Mining Company delivered a solid operational performance for the three months ended 30 September 2025, which CEO Beyers Nel said was driven by an improvement in safety, consistent operational excellence and a higher gold price received.
"We are encouraged to report a loss-of-life-free quarter – affirming that safe mines are profitable mines," he said, adding that the company's long-term improvement in its safety performance reflected the success of proactive programmes and robust safety infrastructure. "As operators of some of the world’s deepest mines, we know this demands excellence at all times. We remain committed to zero harm through a culture of accountability and continuous improvement," he indicated.
During the September quarter, Harmony's lost-time injury frequency rate improved to 4.29, from 5.57 in the first quarter of the 2025 financial year. Other notable safety achievements for the quarter included that its SA gold operations achieved three-million loss-of-life-free shifts for the period under review, while five of the company's underground mines achieved millionaire status during the quarter, with Masimong recording over four-million loss-of-life-free shifts.
