HARMONY RESTRUCTURES ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                     
Johannesburg, Thursday 29 April 2004 - Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited      
("Harmony", NYSE: HMY JSE: HAR) today announced the restructuring of its Board  
of Directors following the announcement on 7 April 2004 that the parties        
concerned (Harmony/ARMI/Avmin) had received approval from the Competition       
Tribunal to proceed with the range of indivisible transactions announced on 13  
November 2003.                                                                  
Mr Patrice Motsepe, Harmony"s Non-Executive Chairman, will now be supported by  
Mr Rick Menell, the company"s newly appointed Deputy Chairman. Harmony also     
appointed Dr Morley Nkosi, who to date served on the board of African Rainbow   
Minerals Limited ("ARM") as a Non-Executive Director. Both their appointments   
were effective 23 April 2004.                                                   
Dr Manana Bakane - Tuoane, Mr Michael King, Dr Sibusiso Sibisi, Dr Rejoice      
Simelane and Mr Max Sisulu resigned as Directors from Harmony effective 21 April
2004, which resignations were accepted by the Harmony Board on 23 April 2004.   
These Directors have all been nominated as Non-Executive Directors of the ARM   
Board. Mr Dan Simelane also tendered his resignation as Executive as he wishes  
to explore other business opportunities. Mr Simelane"s resignation was accepted 
by the Harmony Board  on 23 April 2004.                                         
Mr Frank Abbott, Harmony"s Financial Director, has been nominated as Financial  
Director of ARM. Due to his skills and experience at Harmony, and in order to   
facilitate a smoother handover, it was agreed by the Harmony Board that Mr      
Abbott should continue to be a Director of Harmony, but in the capacity as Non- 
Executive Director. It is anticipated that a new Financial Director will be     
appointed in the next few weeks. Johannes van Heerden, the Financial Director of
Harmony Australia, will in the interim, act as Chief Financial Officer.         
The Harmony Board therefore comprises of the following members:                 
Executive Directors Bernard Swanepoel, Mangisi Gule, Ted Grobicki, Ferdi        
Dippenaar Non-Executive Directors Patrice Motsepe (Chairman), Rick Menell       
(Deputy Chairman), Lord Renwick of Clifton KCMG, Mike Pleming, Simo Lushaba,    
Nolitha Fakude, Cedric Savage, Frank Abbott The Harmony Board therefore now     
comprises 9 Non-Executive Directors (of whom 7 are independent) and 4 Executive 
Directors.                                                                      
"The conclusion of the range of indivisible transactions between ARMI, Avmin and
Harmony, created an opportunity to restructure the Boards of the various        
companies. This enables the companies to draw on the skills and capacities of   
the newly appointed directors as we continue with our track record in creating  
value for shareholders," said Bernard Swanepoel, Chief Executive.
