[miningmx.com] – AFRICAN Rainbow Minerals (ARM) executive chairman, Patrice Motsepe, said he would retain the group’s 14.6% stake in Harmony Gold as he thought the future for gold was bright, said Bloomberg News.

“I am very confident about the future of gold,’ Motsepe told the newswire service. “We will continue looking after our interests in Harmony and I have no doubt in the medium- to long-term, I think gold will do well.’
