HARMONY SELLS MOUNT MAGNET GOLD IN AUSTRALIA                                    
Johannesburg. Thursday, 8 July 2010. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited        
(Harmony) announces that it has executed a Share Sale Agreement with the        
Australian-based gold miner Ramelius Resources Limited (Ramelius) for the sale  
of the Mount Magnet Gold Project (Mount Magnet) for A$40 million cash.          
The Mount Magnet project, located in Western Australia, was placed on care and  
maintenance in 2008. The package includes an extensive advanced exploration     
portfolio and the Checker CIL processing plant.                                 
Harmony`s Chief Executive Graham Briggs says, "The sale of Mount Magnet is a    
continuation of our asset optimization strategy. We consider this operation as  
non-core to this strategy and this divestment allows us to focus on growing,    
developing and operating our portfolio of quality assets in Papua New Guinea."
