Chief Executive`s Review
With another financial year that has drawn to a close, it is important to take
stock of what we have achieved and to assess the progress made against our
ambition to create a company capable of generating earnings that fund growth and
dividends on a sustainable basis.
During financial year 2011, we:
- commissioned excellent gold mines in South Africa and Papua New Guinea (PNG);
- expanded the world class Wafi-Golpu resource to 9 million tonnes (Mt) of
copper and 26.6 million ounces (Moz) of gold (100%);
- increased production from growth projects by 22% year on year;
- tailored each mine`s business plans to its unique requirements;
- pro-actively addressed industry challenges;
- improved production and productivity at most of our mines, and continue to
work at replicating that level of success across the board;
- increased Harmony`s exploration exposure in PNG - a country with world class
exploration potential - to 8000 kmSquared;
- improved the quality of our asset portfolio through the disposal and closure
of non-core assets;
- celebrated Harmony`s 60th year in operation on 25 August 2010.
We made good progress in getting the company where we want it to be - producing
better quality ounces. Hidden Valley in PNG is now an operating mine, Harmony`s
first greenfields offshore development, which was formally opened in September
2010; in South Africa we have Kusasalethu, Doornkop and Phakisa projects, all of
which are in build-up, and Tshepong and Masimong which have been steady
contributors to production. We dealt with the challenges at mines such as
Evander, Target and Joel to ensure these mines are positioned to deliver on
their production targets.
Harmony has invested a great deal in the expansion of its production base in
South Africa and PNG. The investment in exploration continues to pay dividends,
with the Wafi-Golpu resource showing a phenomenal 57% increase to over 1 billion
tonnes during the year. Golpu`s grade is over 1% copper, confirming it is one of
the highest grade copper gold porphyry systems in South East Asia. These
excellent results validate our long-held belief that PNG is a game-changing
region for Harmony.
On a 100% basis, Golpu alone now hosts a resource of 869Mt, containing 19.3Moz
of gold and 9.0Mt of copper (62Moz on a gold equivalent (note 1) basis). This
represents a significant year-on-year increase, with an additional 368Mt (73%
increase), comprising 8 956kt copper (88% increase) and 10.5Moz ounces of gold
(119% increase). Our resource base in PNG now represent 10% of Harmony`s total
gold resources (or 21% of the resource on a gold equivalent basis), which is in
line with the Company`s strategy to increase its geographic
diversification.
Annual production was lower than planned at 1.3Moz, largely due to safety
stoppages and under-performance at some of the shafts. We continue to improve
the business planning process, using benchmarks and targets we believe to be
realistic. Our `life of mine` plans support our commitment to improving the
grades from our underground operations, lowering our cost base and benchmarking
our costing parameters internally across our operations as well as externally
against other gold producers. Our focus remains on producing safe, profitable
ounces and our operations in build-up will add to our production in future.
Safety
Tragically, three employees (South Africa) and one contractor (PNG) lost their
lives during the final quarter of the financial year. The deceased were Mbuzeni
Sihoyiya, a locomotive guard at Kusasalethu, Michael Sello Matea, underground
assistant at Joel, Mbuyiseli Malungisa, a locomotive guard at Masimong and Kerry
Kowitz, a contractor working on the Wafi-Golpu access road. I would like to
extend my deepest condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.
Safety is a top priority at Harmony. We have put in place a number of safety
initiatives, which have resulted in excellent safety achievements. Fatalities
do, however, continue to occur. As a result, we appointed Alwyn Pretorius
(previously the chief operating officer: North region), who is very familiar
with Harmony`s underground working environment, to assist in further improving
and accelerating the execution of our safety and health strategy.
Gold price
Increasing global economic uncertainty is making gold an even stronger
investment option than it already was. At over $1 700/oz, gold remains a
currency and we believe the gold price will continue its strength. Investors in
Harmony have complete exposure to the spot gold price, as the company does not
hedge its gold. During the past quarter the gold price received strengthened
from R312 029/kg to R329 536/kg.
Operational results
Quarter on quarter
Gold production for the June 2011 quarter is 3% higher than the previous
quarter, despite days lost to public holidays. The past quarter saw excellent
improvements in development metres, mainly at the build-up operations. Build-up
at Phakisa, Doornkop, Kusasalethu and Hidden Valley progressed well.
Grade remained steady at 2.08g/t.
Year on year
Tonnes milled for the year under review increased by 7% or 1 317 000 tonnes when
compared to the previous financial year. The main contributors were:
- Doornkop: The build-up resulted in an additional 178 000 tonnes (33%) being
milled for the year under review;
- Target 3: The inclusion of its first commercial production during the June
2011 quarter (75 000 tonnes);
- Free State surface operations: Tonnes increased by 1.2 million tonnes, mainly
waste rock dumps;
- Hidden Valley: Recorded a full year of production and tonnes milled increased
by 1.4 million tonnes to 1.7 million tonnes, achieving its production guidance
for the year.
The operations in build-up showed an increase in gold production. Hidden
Valley produced 3 118kg, an additional 1 215kg (64%) in comparison to the
1 903kg it produced in the previous financial year. Doornkop`s production
increased by 562kg (29%), Phakisa`s by 391kg (29%) and Kusasalethu`s by 165kg
(3%). Gold production for the year under review decreased by 9% (3 898kg),
mainly as a result of the shafts that were closed in the 2011 financial
year. Closed shafts accounted for a decrease in gold produced of 4 092kg
year on year. Underground grade increased year-on-year to 4.60g/t.
Financial overview
Quarter on quarter
Quarter on quarter, cash operating costs in R/kg terms were 12% higher, mainly
due to higher electricity and stores costs, as well as the inclusion of Target 3
(which reached commercial production during the quarter) in our operating
results. Higher stores costs are due to additional maintenance performed during
public holidays. Electricity costs are higher due to a 25% increase in tariffs
as from April 2011 and the inclusion of one month`s winter tariff.
Operating profit at R901 million was 5% higher, mainly due to the increase in
the average Rand gold price received to R329 536/kg.
Year on year
Cash operating costs in Rand terms increased by R686 million or 8%, mainly due
to restructuring costs, the inclusion of Target 3, higher electricity costs and
higher labour costs. This resulted in the cash operating cost in R/kg terms
increasing by 16% from R195 162/kg in FY10 to R226 667/kg in FY11. Rand per
tonne unit costs remained stable at R469/tonnes.
Capital expenditure for FY11 decreased by R317 million (10%) compared to the
previous financial year. This is mainly attributed to a reduction in capital
spent on Hidden Valley of 47% or R252 million. Capital from the South African
operations decreased by R65 million (2%), due to reduced expenditure at Phakisa
(R117 million), Doornkop (R50 million) and Kusasalethu (R50 million).
Reserves and resources
As at 30 June 2011, Harmony`s mineral reserves amounted to 41.6Moz of gold,
spread across Harmony`s assets in South Africa and PNG. The reserves of
Kusasalethu, Doornkop, Tshepong and Phakisa in South Africa and Hidden Valley in
PNG now constitute 45% of Harmony`s total mineral reserves. Once the pre-
feasibility study of Wafi-Golpu has been completed, more ounces from PNG will be
added to Harmony`s reserves.
The reserve declaration excludes Rand Uranium reserves (the asset which is being
held for sale), as well as some Evander projects which are no longer included in
Harmony`s long term mining plans. These exclusions, together with mine
depletion, resulted in a decrease of 6.5Moz year on year, allowing Harmony to
refocus on growing, developing and operating its portfolio of quality assets.
As at 30 June 2011 Harmony`s attributable gold mineral resources were 163.9Moz.
Gold resources in PNG increased 51% year on year to 16.3Moz and now comprise 10%
of the group`s total resource base.
Harmony`s PNG resource inventory also includes economically significant copper,
molybdenum and silver that co-occur with gold. Attributable copper resources
grew by 2.1Mt to 4.5Mt, up 86% year on year (and equates to 9.75Moz on a gold
equivalent basis (note 1)). Molybdenum increased to 84 000 tonnes (up 50%) and
silver increased to 55.16Moz (up 7.8%).
These increases were driven by resource expansions at Hidden Valley and Wafi-
Golpu.
Creating financial flexibility
Harmony has strengthened its financial flexibility through obtaining a 4 year
US$300 million revolving credit facility with Nedbank Limited and FirstRand
Bank Limited. The loan agreement was signed on 11 August 2011. This facility
is specifically ear-marked for Harmony`s activities in PNG.
Dividend
We are pleased to declare a dividend of 60 SA cents per ordinary share for the
year ended 30 June 2011.
Looking ahead
Post year-end, following a five day strike, Harmony signed a two year wage
agreement with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), Solidarity and UASA
(collectively referred to as the "Unions") on the 2nd of August 2011. The
increase in wages will be off-set by improvements in productivity aimed at the
more effective utilization of our mining assets. Approximately 500kg of
production was lost due to the strike.
The wage agreement between Harmony and the Unions also includes a profit share
scheme in which all employees in the bargaining unit will share on a quarterly
basis. The profit share will be based on 1% of operating profits less capital
expenditure from the company`s South African assets.
We look forward to having the Unions as our partners in creating a sustainable
mining industry.
Financial year 2011 was filled with great achievements. We have improved our
safety rates, secured excellent exploration results, continue to build up our
operations and future production potential and certain operations have generated
free operational cash flow.
Financial year 2012 promises to be equally exciting. We remain focussed on
continuing to deliver on our long term targets and to maximise shareholder
value.

Safety and health
Safety
The provision of safe and healthy working places remains a key priority for
Harmony, as does the elimination of all workplace injuries and work-related ill
health effects. This has always been an important area of focus for Harmony.
Harmony will continue to implement and maintain safety initiatives and is in the
process of rolling out a new improved fall of ground strategy to further reduce
fall of ground incidents - one of the main contributors to fatal accidents.
It is with deep regret that we report four fatalities during the June 2011
quarter, bringing total fatalities for the 2011 financial year to 16. This is an
improvement on the previous financial year, which recorded 22 fatalities.
However, we need to continue to work towards avoiding these incidents
altogether.
Harmony`s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) in South Africa remains a
single digit, for the eleventh consecutive quarter. Quarter on quarter the LTIFR
rate regressed from 8.65 to 9.64, whilst LTIFR also regressed with 8% to 8.32
when compared to the previous year.
The Reportable Injury Frequency Rate (RIFR) (per million hours worked) in South
Africa regressed by 13% when compared to the previous year (from 4.19 to 4.73)
and by 17% quarter-on-quarter (from 4.62 to 5.39).
The Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR) improved by 19% when compared to the
previous year, but regressed by 44% quarter-on- quarter (from 0.09 to 0.13)
Safety achievements for the quarter included:
South African underground operations: 1 000 000 fatality free shifts
Doornkop shaft operations: 1 000 000 fatality free shifts
Doornkop total operations: 1 000 000 fatality free shifts
Phakisa: 500 000 fatality free shifts
Target: 500 000 fatality free shifts
Ongoing behavioural-based safety, competency training and development and
research, together with the vigilant co-operation of our stakeholders, will
continue to enable Harmony to become an even safer company to work for.
Health
Our pro-active approach to the health and wellness of our employees continues.
Various programmes and initiatives are supported and sponsored by the company to
ensure the wellbeing of our employees. Our objective remains to improve health
management programs and effectively utilise clinical information. This includes
the review of policies, procedures, and processes, as well as training, on an
ongoing basis.
See our Sustainable Development Report for more details on our website

Financial overview
Quarter on quarter
Cash operating profits increased by 5% quarter on quarter to R901 million,
mainly due to an increase in revenue driven by the 6% increase in the R/kg gold
price received. The increase in revenue was offset by an 18% increase in
production cost.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share decreased from 55 SA cents to a loss of 10 SA cents per
share. Headline earnings per share decreased from 91 SA cents to 30 SA cents.
Headline earnings have been adjusted for the impairment of assets as
well as the reversal of the impairment of investment in associate.
Revenue
Revenue increased from R2 949 million to R3 422 million, or 16%, mainly due to
the 6% increase in the rand gold price received to R329 536/kg. The increase of
gold sold by 7% or 696kg, together with the inclusion of the results of Target
3, also contributed to the higher revenue total for the June 2011 quarter.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased from R2 623 million to R3 491 million in the June 2011
quarter. The main reasons for this increase are:
- higher production costs, driven by higher electricity costs which include the
annual increase by Eskom as well as one month`s winter tariff (R115 million
increase); increased labour costs of R67 million as a result of an increase in
employees due to the build-up at certain shafts; an increase in stores cost due
to higher production. Also contributing to the increase is the inclusion of
costs related to Target 3, amounting to R93 million for the June 2011 quarter.
- an increase in amortisation and depreciation from R431 million in the March
2011 quarter to R477 million. This increase relates primarily to an increase in
tonnes mined at several shafts as well as depreciation commencing at Target 3 as
it was brought into commercial production;
- impairment of assets amounting to R264 million. The impairments relate to
President Steyn 1 and 2 shafts (R99 million and R103 million respectively) and
St Helena (R61 million of which R9 million relates to goodwill);
- the annual adjustment on the rehabilitation provision amounting to R61
million;
- annual assessments of gold inventory balances resulting in write downs for
Steyn Plant (R41 million) and Target stockpile (R30 million) and an adjustment
on the gold in lock-up (R21 million).
Exploration expenditure
During the June 2011 quarter, R102 million was spent on exploration. Of the
amount spent during the quarter, R90 million relates to the PNG
projects. The expenditure for the March 2011 quarter was R77 million, R68
million of which related to PNG. The increase quarter on quarter relates
primarily to the pre-feasibility study being conducted at Wafi-Golpu.
Reversal of impairment/(impairment) of investment in associate
This movement relates to the limiting of costs relating to the Rand Uranium
transaction as well as some foreign exchange movements.
Net gain on financial instruments
The movement for the June 2011 quarter comprises of the changes in fair value of
the Nedbank Equity Linked Deposits held by the environmental trusts.
Investment income
Investment income for the June 2011 quarter was R24 million. This was a R40
million decrease quarter-on-quarter as the March 2011 quarter included amounts
related to the successful appeal against interest levied by SARS as well as
interest on outstanding diesel refunds, which were not repeated in the current
quarter.
Finance cost
Finance cost increased by R18 million quarter-on-quarter. This was
mainly due to the draw-down of additional funds from the Nedbank
facility during the previous quarter.
Taxation
The deferred taxation credit for the June 2011 quarter of R195 million credit
consists mainly of credits relating to the change in the Life-of-Mine rates,
amounting to R119 million, as well as additional temporary differences.
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure increased from R667 million to R788 million in the June 2011
quarter, as expected.
Borrowings
The long term portion of borrowings decreased from R1 487 million to R1 229
million in the June 2011 quarter as a result of the net repayment of R100
million on the Revolving Credit Facility and the instalment payments on the term
facilities of R153 million.
Year on year
Cash operating profits increased by 12% to R3 275 million for 2011. This was
mainly due to an increase in revenue driven by the 16% increase in the
rand/kilogram gold price.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share increased from a loss of 46 SA cents to earnings of 144
SA cents per share. Headline earnings per share also increased from a loss of 7
SA cents to earnings of 223 SA cents.
Revenue
Revenue increased from R11 284 million to R12 445 million, or 10%, mainly due to
the 16% increase in the rand gold price received to R307 875/kg. This increase
was offset by the 7% decrease in gold sold.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales increased from R10 484 million to R11 615 million for 2011. This
is mainly due to increases in production costs (driven by increased labour,
electricity and stores costs) and amortisation and depreciation.
Exploration expenditure
During 2011, R353 million was spent on exploration with R296 million for PNG.
The exploration expense in the income statement for 2010 was R219 million, with
R165 million being spent in PNG.
Net gain on financial instruments
The movement in net gain on financial instruments for 2011 was R414 million,
which includes R273 million recognised on the Witsgold transaction. The balance
of the total relates to the changes in fair value of the Nedbank Equity Linked
Deposits held by the Environmental Trusts.
Taxation
The deferred taxation credit for the year amounted to R492 million of which
approximately R363 million relates to the change in the Freegold unredeemed
capital allowance. The 2010 deferred tax charge of R251 million primarily
related to increases in average deferred tax rates, notably at Evander.

4. Net gain on financial instruments
During the September 2010 quarter, a gain of R273 million was recognised on the
Freegold option. This was following Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(Harmony) entering into two transactions with Witwatersrand Consolidated Gold
Resources Limited (Wits Gold), whereby Wits Gold obtains a prospecting right
over Harmony`s Merriespruit South area and the option held by ARMgold/Harmony
Freegold Joint Venture Company (Proprietary) Limited (Freegold), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Harmony, is cancelled. The remainder of the total relates
primarily to the increase in the fair value of the Nedbank Equity Linked
Deposits held by the Environmental Trusts.
5. Deferred taxation
The deferred taxation credit of R195 million includes credits of R119 million
related to the annual re-assessment of the deferred tax rates.
The deferred taxation credit of R309 million in the March 2011 quarter includes
a deferred tax credit of R333 million relating to Freegold. South African
Revenue Service (SARS) previously disallowed Freegold`s "post 1973 gold mine"
additional capital allowance claim, and also disallowed Freegold`s application
of mining ringfencing. The disputed matters were setdown to be heard in the
Income Tax Court of Johannesburg on 14 March 2011, but SARS withdrew the
additional capital allowance claim on 10 March 2011, conceding that the Freegold
operations are entitled to claim this capital allowance. The inclusion of the
capital allowance caused an increase in the deferred tax asset on the balance
sheet and the resulting credit in the income statement. For additional
disclosure on the mining ringfencing application refer to note 13.
6. Disposal groups classified as held for sale and discontinued operations
Mount Magnet
The conditions precedent for the sale of Mount Magnet were fulfilled and the
transaction became effective on 20 July 2010. A total purchase consideration of
R238 million was received from Ramelius Resources Limited in exchange for 100%
of the issued shares of Mount Magnet. The group recognised a total profit of
R104 million net of tax, before the realisation of accumulated foreign exchange
losses of R84 million from other comprehensive income to the consolidated income
statement. The income statement and earnings per share amounts for all
comparative periods have been re-presented to disclose the operation as a
discontinued operation.
Investment in associate
The investment in Rand Uranium has been classified as held for sale following
the decision by the shareholders to sell the business. In terms of the binding
offer accepted by the shareholders on 21 April 2011, the capital portion of the
subordinated shareholder`s loan of R61 million due to the group will be repaid
out of the sale proceeds. Where the carrying value of the investment exceeds the
expected proceeds, an impairment is recognised in the income statement. An
impairment of R142 million has been recognised for the 2011 year.
Evander 6 and Twistdraai
On 10 September 2010, Harmony concluded a sale of assets agreement with Taung
Gold Limited (Taung), in which Taung acquired the Evander 6 Shaft, the related
infrastructure and surface rights permits as well as a mining right over the
Evander 6 and Twistdraai areas. The total purchase consideration is R225
million, which will be settled in cash when all remaining conditions precedent
to the transaction have been fulfilled. In terms of an amended agreement Taung
paid an amount of R100 million in April 2011. Refer to note 12 for additional
disclosure.
7. (Loss)/earnings and net asset value per share

R62.5 million over four years. The first instalment was paid on 30 June 2011.
The terms of the original Revolving Credit Facility were amended to coincide
with the repayment terms of the new Revolving Credit Facility, being payable
after three years from December 2010.
At 30 June 2011, R400 million (31 March 2011: R300 million, 30 June 2010: R300
million) of these facilities had not been drawn down.
(2) Included in the borrowings is R51 million (31 March 2011: R58 million; June
2010: R91 million) owed to Westpac Bank Limited in terms of a finance lease
agreement. The future minimum lease payments are as follows:

This expenditure will be financed from existing resources and borrowings where
necessary.
Contingent liability
For a detailed disclosure on contingent liabilities refer to Harmony`s annual
report for the financial year ended 30 June 2010, available on the group`s
website at www.harmony.co.za. In addition the following contingencies have been
added or amended:
(a) During March 2011, the Constitutional Court handed down judgement in the
case of Mr Thembekile Mankayi v AngloGold Ashanti Limited (AGA) regarding
litigation in terms of the Occupational Diseases in Mines and Works Act
(ODIMWA). The judgement allows Mr Mankayi`s executor to proceed with the case in
the High Court of South Africa. Harmony was named as a second defendant in the
original case. Should anyone bring similar claims against Harmony in future,
those claimants would need to provide evidence proving that silicosis was
contracted while in the employment of the Company and that it was contracted due
to negligence on the Company`s part. The link between the cause (negligence by
the Company while in its employ) and the effect (the silicosis) will be an
essential part of any case. It is therefore uncertain as to whether the Company
will incur any costs related to silicosis claims in the future and due to the
limited information available on any potential claims and the uncertainty of the
outcome of these claims, no estimation can be made for the possible obligation.
(b) The Court`s decision on Freegold`s appeal regarding the South African
Revenue Service`s (SARS) application of mining tax ring-fencing was received on
1 August 2011 and the Court found in favour of SARS. The case was concluded in
March 2011, but judgement was reserved at that time. The Company has decided to
appeal the finding by the Court. Any additional income taxes payable are
expected to be offset by additional deferred tax credits due to the impact this
application will have on unredeemed capital.
(c) On 18 April 2008, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited was made aware that it
had been named or might be named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the U.S.
District Court in the Southern District of New York on behalf of certain
purchasers and sellers of Harmony`s American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and
options with regard to certain of its business practices. Harmony has retained
legal counsel. During January 2009, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint
with the United States District Court (Court). Subsequently, the Company filed a
Motion to Dismiss all claims asserted in the Class Action Case. On 19 March
2010, the Court denied the Company`s application for dismissal and subsequently
the Company filed a Motion for Reconsideration in which it requested the Court
to reconsider its judgement. This matter was heard on 27 April 2010 and the
Company`s request for reconsideration of judgement was denied. The Company has
subsequent to 30 June 2011 reached a mutually acceptable settlement with the
lead plaintiff. The settlement requires final approval from the Court and no
assurance can be given that the settlement will ultimately be approved.
14. Subsequent events
(a) Refer to note 13(b) for details on the post balance sheet date event
relating to the Freegold court case.
(b) On 11 August 2011, the group entered into a US$300 million Revolving Credit
Facility. The facility has a term of four years and attracts interest at LIBOR
plus 260 basis points. This arrangement is subject to certain conditions
precedent being satisfied. The facility was jointly arranged by Nedbank Limited
and Firstrand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division).
(c) On 12 August 2011 the board approved a payment of dividend of 60 SA cents
per share for the year ended 30 June 2011.
