EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, FRANK ABBOTT, RETIRES                                       
Johannesburg. Tuesday, 3 August 2010. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited       
("HarmonY") announces that Frank Abbott, executive director, has retired at the 
end of July 2010 after a long association with Harmony to pursue personal       
interests.                                                                      
Frank continued to serve on Harmony`s Board as an executive director responsible
for strategic planning after he handed over his financial director              
responsibilities to Hannes Meyer on 1 November 2009. Frank has agreed to remain 
on Harmony`s Board of Directors as a non-executive director with effect from 1  
August 2010.                                                                    
Harmony`s Chief Executive Officer, Graham Briggs says, "It certainly saddens us 
that Frank has retired after many years of making valuable contributions to     
Harmony. Frank has played a key role in the success of this company and we wish 
him well in his retirement. We are pleased however, that he will continue to add
value to Harmony as a non-executive director."
