Harmony in talks with Rio Tinto on Hidden Valley

Harmony Gold is in advanced talks with global miner Rio Tinto on the Hidden Valley project in Papua New Guinea that will help improve its cash costs by $10 per ounce of gold, it said on Friday.

Harmony's Chief Executive Bernard Swanepoel told a presentation about the talks after the company reported second quarter results.
