Harmony Gold – Eva Copper Project Update

Join the North Queensland Branch for their March tech talk: Harmony Gold – Eva Copper Project Update.

About this event

In November 2025 Harmony Gold Mining Company Ltd announced the completion of the updated Feasibility Study and the approval of the Final Investment Decision by the Board of Directors for the Eva Copper Project.

Eva Copper is a high-margin, long-life asset located in Northwest Queensland. The proposed low strip ratio open pit development is expected to produce approximately 65 000 tonnes of copper in concentrate per year during the first five years, with an expected life-of-mine average production profile of around 60,000 tonnes of copper and 19,000 ounces of gold per annum. This will be achieved by processing on average 18 million tonnes per annum of ore over its currently estimated 15-year mine life, at a very attractive margin with an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of approximately US$ 2.50/lb, delivering robust cash flow generation at strong margins over the life of this asset.

Our speaker, David Mackay will provide an overview of the Eva Copper Project development and how it is currently progressing.
