Harmony Gold Mining Co. (HAR.JO) said Thursday that its Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea reached commercial levels of production in June.

The South African miner said it is confident that the Hidden Valley mine can produce more than 180,000 ounces of gold in fiscal 2019.

Harmony Gold also said the application for a special mining lease for its Wafi-Golpu project, also in Papua New Guinea, is progressing well, having submitted an environmental impact statement for the project to the country's regulatory authority in June.

Harmony's fiscal 2018 results will be released on Aug. 21.
