South Africa's main gold miners catch an upward lift from precious metal's spot price , which rose 1 percent on Friday, recovering some of this week's hefty losses ahead of a key speech from Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke, which will be closely watched for signs to future US monetary policy.

Harmony Gold blazes the upward trail adding 2.77 percent to 92.70 rand, while Africa's biggest gold producer AngloGold Ashanti rises 1.43 percent and Gold Fields trades 1.30 percent higher. - Reuters
