("Harmony")                                                                     
NEWS RELEASE FROM HARMONY                                                       
24 November 2004                                                                
Clarification: Entitlement of Gold Fields shareholders who accept the early     
settlement offer to any increase in the consideration offered under the         
subsequent offer                                                                
Further to numerous queries raised recently by Gold Fields shareholders, Harmony
wishes to confirm that, in the event that Harmony were to increase the          
consideration to be offered under the subsequent offer after the early          
settlement closing date, those Gold Fields shareholders who had already accepted
the early settlement offer ("accepting shareholders") and received the offer    
consideration due under the early settlement offer would remain entitled to     
receive the full benefit of any increase by Harmony of the consideration offered
under the subsequent offer ("top up consideration"), regardless of whether the  
accepting shareholders had subsequently disposed of their Harmony consideration 
shares.                                                                         
Accepting shareholders would be unconditionally entitled to the top up          
consideration irrespective of whether the subsequent offer becomes or is        
declared unconditional. The top up consideration would be payable to accepting  
shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable following the announcement of any
increase in the consideration offered under the subsequent offer and compliance 
with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including the effective       
registration of the additional Harmony consideration shares comprising the top  
up consideration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933.  Harmony believes that  
the top up consideration would be paid in advance of expiration of the          
subsequent offer.                                                               
Accept the Harmony early settlement offer today                                 
ENDS                                                                            
Unless the context otherwise requires, the definitions contained in the offer   
document or the registration statement sent to Gold Fields shareholders have the
same meaning in this announcement.
