Chief Executive`s Review
Introduction
The increased R/kg gold price received during the September 2011 quarter
continued to strengthen Harmony`s profit levels. A record operating profit was
generated this quarter with production remaining steady despite industrial
action. This is an indication of our improved operational efficiency and gives
us confidence for the future.
As our growth projects come on stream, and our existing mines operate to
tailored business plans, we remain confident of reaching our long-term targets.
Safety
It is with deep regret that I report that two of our colleagues died in work-
related incidents during the quarter. Those who died were: Matoane Thabana, a
locomotive guard at Unisel and Andries Bhambatha, water jet operator at
Tshepong. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to their families,
friends and colleagues.
Operational and financial overview
The gold price received increased by 20.3% to R396 405/kg in the September 2011
quarter from R329 536/kg received in the previous quarter. The increase in the
gold price resulted in revenues increasing by 14.8% or R506.9 million.
Operating profit for the September 2011 quarter increased by 45.0% (R405.7
million) to R1 306.4 million, compared to the R900.7 million recorded in
the June 2011 quarter.
Production for the September 2011 quarter was only slightly higher than the
previous quarter. Our targeted increase in production was negatively impacted by
the wage strike in August 2011, which resulted in approximately 500kg being
lost. As expected, higher electricity (due to winter tariffs) and labour costs
resulted in the R/kg costs being 9.2% higher at R265 288/kg compared to R242
851/kg in the June 2011 quarter.
We continue to spend in a responsible manner, with total capital expenditure for
the September 2011 quarter decreasing by 16.4% (R137.5 million) to R700.1
million, compared to the previous quarter (R837.6 million).
Exploration
Wafi Transfer Exploration (Morobe Mining JV Exploration
(Harmony 50%)
Prospect development work continued at Zimake, and Bavaga on the Wafi Transfer
structure. Results received from Zimake have outlined a significant new high
tenor Cu-Au anomaly over a 1.5 km2 area. The anomaly is associated with a bulls-
eye magnetic target, contains surface soil results up to 0.5 g/t Au and 0.2% Cu,
and is prospective for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation similar to Golpu.
Papua New Guinea (PNG) exploration (Harmony 100%)
Drilling at the Mt Hagen project has intersected anomalous intervals of porphyry
copper style mineralisation and alteration. The drill core contains disseminated
chalcopyrite and molybdenum associated with biotite-magnetite (potassic) altered
metasediments and is highly encouraging. Assays received to date resulted in
285m @ 0.1% Cu, 83 ppm Mo from 72m (PNDD001).
Wafi-Golpu
The resource drilling programme continues to target orebody extension to the
north and infill of deeper sections (indicatively in the Lift 2 and Lift 3 cave
zones). Geotechnical investigation drilling is continuing along the
access/conveyor decline route. Five drill rigs are currently at work at Wafi-
Golpu with two additional drill rigs that have arrived on site that will
commence drilling in the forthcoming quarter. Generally the drilling results are
confirming the resource shell as outlined in the resource declaration (refer to
the Integrated Annual Report at www.harmony.co.za).
The results of the significant borehole were:
WR406 861m @ 1.51g/t Au, 1.48% Cu including 199m @ 2.87g/t Au and 2.57% Cu from
1 286m (Some assays are still pending).
Gold market
We remain bullish on the gold price, despite the recent fears that there is a
gold bubble. We believe that the gold price will continue to strengthen as the
fundamentals that drove the gold price up are still in place. Gold remains an
attractive investment and a currency in these times of economic uncertainty. A
number of record high gold prices were seen throughout the first quarter, with a
record level of around $1 900/oz at the beginning of September 2011. Despite the
sharp decline in the gold price towards the end of September 2011, the
Rand gold price performed well due to the benefit of the weakening of the R/$
exchange rate around the same time. Harmony`s South African assets
represent 92% of total production. The combination of a higher gold price and a
weaker Rand, as well as steady production worked to our advantage
during the quarter.
Conclusion
Harmony has a solid portfolio of producing assets and a successful international
exploration programme. The rapid progress we have made in PNG, in particular, is
proof of the benefits mining can deliver in an enabling environment when all
stakeholders work together. The Wafi-Golpu project has the potential to change
this company materially.
In addition, the exploration results in PNG have been pleasing and we look
forward to more exciting news from the region.
In the next few months we will be focussing on improving our grades, as well as
improving costs per tonnes milled - all in line with our strategy, as well as
progressing the pre-feasibility study at Wafi-Golpu.

Chief Executive Officer

Results for the period
ended 30 September 2011
Safety and health
Safety
Safety remains Harmony`s number one priority. To accelerate the execution of
Harmony`s safety and health strategy and to further improve its safety
performance, Harmony appointed Alwyn Pretorius as the Executive for safety and
health in August 2011, a newly created executive position. Alwyn has more than
18 years` experience in the mining industry and has a good understanding of
underground conditions and the working environment our underground workers are
exposed to.
Our safety strategy includes behavioural aspects, competency training and
development, as well as research and new technologies. We believe safety in the
workplace can be addressed only through a cooperative approach that ensures the
right infrastructure is in place - from systems and planning, to communication
and training. We also believe management and employees must accept joint
responsibility for their actions. It is therefore imperative that the working
environment empowers people - management, supervisors, workers and union
representatives - to stop work and withdraw from the mining area when they feel
it is unsafe, or prevent others from acting in an unsafe way.
Equally, safety is about attitudes and mindsets. We have renewed our focus on
implementing, communicating and reinforcing safety in the workplace, and created
a centralised safety function to coordinate initiatives between regions and
mines.
Given the high-risk nature of many of our deep-level operations, the safety,
health and well-being of our people are our foremost priority: Safety is a key
performance indicator for management and a key component of performance reward
for our people.
Tragically, two fatalities occurred at the South African operations during the
September 2011 quarter, which indicates that even more needs to be done to
ensure a safe working environment day after day.
We have made progress in terms of safety, with Harmony`s Lost Time Injury
Frequency Rate (LTIFR) (per million hours worked) remaining a single digit, for
the twelfth consecutive quarter. In South Africa, our LTIFR improved by 6%
quarter on quarter, from 9.64 to 9.06. The Reportable Injury Frequency Rate
(RIFR) (per million hours worked) improved by 18% quarter on quarter (from 5.39
to 4.44). The Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR) improved by 31% (0.17 to 0.09)
quarter on quarter.
Safety achievements for the quarter included:
South African (SA) underground
operations: 1 000 000 fatality free shifts
Harmony SA surface operations: 3 000 000 fatality free shifts
Kusasalethu: 500 000 fatality free shifts
Evander total operations: 1 000 000 fatality free shifts
Kalgold plant: 1 000 000 fatality free shifts
Target 1: 750 000 fatality free shifts
Phakisa: 500 000 fatality free shifts
Bambanani: 500 000 fatality free shifts
The following operations completed the quarter without an injury:
- Target plant
- Harmony One plant
- Free State commercial services and transport
- Evander workshops.
Health
The health and well-being of our workforce is essential to us, as they are the
cornerstone of our ongoing business success. We continually invest in the
wellness of our employees, through various health programmes and initiatives to
ensure the well-being of each employee. Our focus is on preventative rather than
curative health care and we encourage employees to live a healthy lifestyle,
through health education and raising awareness. During the quarter our pro-
active approach to health and wellness of our employees continued. Our objective
remains to improve health management programmes and effectively utilise clinical
information. This includes the review of policies, procedures and processes as
well as training. These efforts have resulted in improved health and a better
quality of life for our employees.

Financial overview
Operating profit increased by 45% to R1 306 million in the September 2011
quarter, with an increase in revenue being the main contributor.
Revenue
The increase in revenue from R3 422 million to R3 929 million is due to an 14.3%
higher US dollar gold price received and a weaker Rand, with the average R/kg
gold price received increasing over 20% to R396 405/kg.
Cost of sales
Production cost is slightly higher at R2 623 million, mainly due to increased
winter electricity rates that resulted in a R133 million increase in electricity
cost for the quarter.
Employment termination and restructuring costs for the September quarter
amounted to R34 million. The cost is as a result of the restructuring process at
Bambanani shaft.
Reversal of impairment of investment in associate
The reversal of impairment of R48 million for the September 2011 quarter relates
to foreign exchange movements relating to the agreed sale of 40% of Rand Uranium
(Pty) Ltd to Gold One International Limited.
Net loss on financial instruments
The loss for the September 2011 quarter is due to the changes in fair value of
the Nedbank Equity Linked Deposits held by the Environmental Trusts.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share increased from a loss of 10 SA cents to earnings of 111
SA cents per share. Headline earnings per share increased from 30 SA cents per
share to 95 SA cents per share, an increase of 217%.
Property, plant and equipment
The increase in property, plant and equipment is largely due to currency
movements of R836 million as a result of the strengthening of the Kina against
the South African Rand. The corresponding entry was recorded in other reserves
through other comprehensive income.
Borrowings
Borrowings increased as a result of a net draw down of R100 million on the
Nedbank facility and a US$50 million draw down on the US dollar Revolving Credit
Facility.

corresponding entry was recorded in other reserves through other comprehensive

5. Disposal groups classified as held for sale and discontinued operations
Investment in associate
The investment in Rand Uranium has been classified as held for sale following a
decision by the shareholders of the company to commence with a process to sell
the company. 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. The group`s
attributable portion of the sale proceeds amounts to US$37.25 million. The
investment is carried at the lower of carrying value and fair value less cost to
sell. At each reporting date, the carrying value is remeasured for possible
impairment or reversal of impairment. An impairment of R142 million has been
recognised for the 2011 year. During September 2011 quarter, a reversal of
impairment of R48 million was recognised resulting from changes in the US$/R
exchange rate.

Harmony`s strategy
Harmony`s strategy is to produce 1.8 - 2 million* safe and profitable ounces of
gold by 2015. Following a review of assets during 2011, action was taken and
capital committed to increase production at existing operations, further the
development of current projects and advance scoping studies so as to ensure the
future production pipeline of tomorrow`s gold by growing reserves and resources
and strengthening the quality of our asset base.
Our challenge going forward is to meet our targets and objectives and, more
specifically, to deliver consistent production results, improve productivity,
curb costs and to create and deliver value to shareholders.
* Excludes future acquisitions or disposals.
