JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) –  Following a four-month headhunt prompted by the retirement of company head Graham Briggs, Harmony Gold Mining has appointed its former COO and current Sasol Mining senior VP Peter Steenkamp as CEO, effective January 1.

“The board is very happy to welcome Peter back to Harmony. He worked for Harmony for four years and . . . he has more than 30 years’ experience in the mining industry and should lead Harmony to greater heights,” commented Harmony chairperson Patrice Motsepe.

Steenkamp holds a BSc degree in Mining Engineering and previously held executive positions at Harmony, African Rainbow Minerals and Pamodzi Gold.
 
“Returning to the gold sector and to Harmony is like coming home. The company has demonstrated its resilience during recent challenging times and has been positioned for profitability by the management team. 

“I am committed to ensuring that Harmony creates value for all its stakeholders and is a globally competitive company," he said of his appointment.
