On 2 May 2003 Harmony and African Rainbow Minerals Gold Limited announced that they had jointly acquired a 34,5% stake in Anglovaal Mining Limited which has a 42,5% stake in Avgold.
Avgold operates the Target Mine in the Free State which at full production is expected to produce 350 000 gold ounces per annum, at a cash cost below US$180 per ounce. An extensive exploration programme in an area known as Target North, which has a resource base of approximately 80 million ounces, is currently underway.
In addition, if at any time within a period of 12 months reckoned from the completion date of the acquisition, Harmony makes an offer to the shareholders of Avgold for a consideration which is higher than that paid to Anglo South Africa, Harmony shall make an additional payment to Anglo South Africa equivalent to the difference between the consideration paid and such higher consideration, provided that the aggregate amount paid to Anglo pursuant to such acquisition and the additional payment shall not exceed an amount which would result in a Category 1 acquisition for Harmony.
The acquisition, which is subject to certain conditions, including the unconditional approval of the board of Anglo American plc, is expected to complete on 21 July 2003.
