Harmony Gold Mining Limited's Comment on Supply Chain
Harmony uses chemicals such as cyanide, hydrochloric acid, and caustic soda as key reagents in gold production. These chemicals are sourced from a limited number of suppliers. Except for cyanide, these reagents do not constitute a material portion of the company's costs. Harmony has experienced interruptions in the supply of these reagents and other critical consumables due to supplier challenges and aging production facilities. The company sources raw materials from third-party suppliers and imports consumables internationally, which increases the importance of supply security. To address lead time variability and supply constraints, Harmony employs stocking strategies. Commodity prices are volatile; however, contractual terms with rise and fall clauses help mitigate the impact of market fluctuations. Energy prices, which influence the production cost of key chemicals, decreased in 2025. The prices of Brent crude oil and natural gas declined sharply due to policy uncertainty and trade tensions. Overall, global trade tensions, economic slowdown, and climate-related factors have contributed to disruptions in the supply and pricing of raw materials.
