“We are delighted to finally take full control of Evander – a world class ore body and exceptional team
of people will ensure that Pan African continues to deliver profitable, sustainable stakeholder growth.
In addition to the 100koz of annual gold production, Evander also provides Pan African with a project
pipeline that provides for significant growth possibilities and flexibility.


I would like to thank Harmony on behalf of the board of Pan African for the manner and spirit in which
the transaction was concluded. We welcome the Evander team and look forward to an exciting
future.”


Graham Briggs, CEO of Harmony said:
“The proceeds from the Evander sale further strengthen Harmony’s cash position. We are leaving
