HARMONY APPOINTS TWO GENERAL MANAGERS
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) is pleased to announce the
appointments of two general managers. Steven Green was promoted to general
manager at Harmony`s Virginia operations in the Free State after serving as
acting general manager for three months. Malcolm Bentley was newly appointed to
the Harmony team as general manager at its Evander operation.
Green, who has 24 years experience in the gold mining industry, assumed the
responsibilities of acting general manager at the Virginia operations in October
2008. Due to his exceptional management skills, his knowledge of the industry
and his passion for safety, Green was ideally suited to take over as the general
manager in January 2009.
Bentley was an external appointment and has nearly 30 years of experience in the
mining industry. During these years he held prominent managerial positions,
which include that of Regional Manager (Platinum Division) at Concor Mining
Services, Operations Manager at Impala Platinum Mines and Operations Manager of
the Gold Division at Manhattan Corporation. Furthermore, Bentley served as
director at Africa Mining Services.
Harmony`s Chief Executive, Graham Briggs says, "Harmony recognises hard work and
exceptional skills among its employees. Green`s promotion to General Manager at
Harmony`s Virginia operations bares testimony to this. Bentley has commendable
skills and experience in the mining industry and he will be an asset to our
team."
