Tshepong Gold Mine

South Africa / Free State / Kutlwanong /
Located in the Free State province, Tshepong, Harmony’s largest operation, comprises a single vertical shaft extending to a depth of 2 154 metres. Ore is transported to the Harmony 1 plant, located some 23 kilometres away. The Tshepong sub-71 decline project is in progress and will extend mining to a depth of 2 366 metres below surface while production at the sub-66 project is currently building up.

Harmony initially acquired Tshepong as part of the acquisition, in a 50:50 joint venture with ARMgold, of the Freegold operations from AngloGold Ashanti Limited in January 2002. In September 2003, Harmony acquired these operations in their entirety.

The mine undertakes conventional undercut mining on the Basal Reef. The B reef is exploited as a high grade secondary reef. In FY10, Tshephong employed 5 064 people – 4 901 employees and 163 contractors.
