30.10.2025 - 12:52:04Strategic Shift Through Major Acquisition
As Harmony Gold Mining concludes a landmark billion-dollar copper acquisition, the company faces mounting pressure from gold price volatility and emerging regulatory challenges that threaten to undermine its stock performance.
In a decisive move to transform its business model, Harmony Gold has finalized the $1.01 billion purchase of MAC Copper Limited. This transaction delivers control of the high-grade CSA copper mine in Australia, representing a fundamental strategic pivot for the mining company. The deal transitions Harmony Gold from a pure-play gold producer to a diversified mining enterprise positioned to capitalize on energy transition metals. Funding was secured through existing corporate liquidity supplemented by a $1.25 billion bridge financing facility.
