The Moab Khotsong mine is a large mine located in the northern part of South Africa in North West some 180 kilometers (110 mi) southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa.

[3] Harmony Gold successfully acquired Moab Khotsong from AngloGold Ashanti Limited on 1 March 2018.
The $300-million deal includes the Moab Khotsong mine, one of the newest South African deep-level mines, with life-of-mine grade forecast at 8.2 grams per tonne (0.26 oz/short ton), taking the average Harmony underground grade to 5.7 grams per tonne (0.18 oz/short ton).
[3] However, its association with the Biblical Moab prompted workers to request that it be twinned with Khotsong, Sotho for 'peaceful place', and this is now the commonly-used classification.
