Further investment in the project located in South Africa's Free State province would be weighed against Harmony's Eva Mine copper project in Australia and the Wafi-Golpu gold-copper project in Papua New Guinea, which it seeks to jointly develop with partner Newmont. Harmony is among South African gold producers that have shifted focus to elsewhere in Africa, Australia and the Americas and to other metals as digging for gold in some of the world's deepest mines becomes more costly and dangerous. The Australian and PNG copper projects are part of Harmony's pivot towards copper which is in demand for use in the production of electric vehicles and renewable energy systems, pushing its price to record highs this year.
