TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT REGARDING THE SALE OF KALAHARI GOLDRIDGE MINING    
COMPANY LIMITED                                                                 
Johannesburg, Wednesday 17 March 2004 - Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited     
(NYSE: HMY JSE: HAR) shareholders are referred to the announcements published on
SENS on 7 November 2003 and on 4 March 2004 relating to the sale of Kalahari    
Goldridge Mining Company Limited ("Kalgold") to The Afrikander Lease Limited    
("Aflease").                                                                    
In terms of the sale agreement, 50% of the total purchase consideration of R275 
million was payable in cash, and 50% by the allotment and issue of Aflease      
shares, three days after the last condition precedent was fulfilled or waived.  
Harmony shareholders are advised that the financing proposal made by Aflease in 
lieu of the cash payment was not acceptable to Harmony.                         
Harmony and Aflease have therefore decided to cancel the sale agreement.        
ENDS
