Johannesburg. Monday, 30 January 2012.
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(Harmony) regrets to advise that an employee was fatally injured yesterday following an

hoisting of ore from the planned Bambanani and Steyn 2 pillar extractions.

All operations under the authority of the relevant appointed general manager have been
stopped, namely West shaft, Steyn 2, Bambanani and Unisel, until such time as all
investigations into the accident have been completed.

Harmony’s chief executive offer, Graham Briggs and his management team, express their
sincere condolences to the family of the deceased and those affected by the incident.
