On August 25th, 1950, Harmony was established and officially registered as a public company in South Africa. The company was later managed by Randgold and focused on exploiting a single Harmony mine lease. After Randgold was dissolved in 1995, Harmony was recreated as an independent entity. Since then, the company has significantly expanded its operations, evolving from a single mining operation to a global, independent, and world-class gold producer with multiple operations.
