RESIGNATION OF DIRECTORS                                                        
Johannesburg, 6 December 2005 - The board of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(NYSE: HMY JSE: HAR) wishes to announce the resignation of two of its directors 
today.  In both cases the individuals, Ferdi Dippenaar and Rick Menell, will    
pursue their future careers as chief executive officers of junior mining        
companies.                                                                      
Ferdi joined Harmony in 1998 and served the company in many roles, most recently
as Marketing Director.  Under his leadership Harmony won numerous awards for    
investor relations, established its own commercial gold refinery and actively   
supported jewellery training and manufacturing.  Ferdi leaves Harmony at the end
of December 2005 to take up the position of CEO of Great Basin Gold, a junior   
Toronto listed gold exploration and mining company.                             
On the announcement of Ferdi"s resignation Harmony"s CEO, Bernard Swanepoel     
said; "As sad as it is to lose one of our best, we are proud of Ferdi and know  
that he will make a great success of his new challenge.  We pride ourselves in  
Harmony on our people and Ferdi is truly export quality.  He moves on with the  
best wishes of the board and all of his friends at Harmony."                    
During the last few months Ferdi handed over Investor Relations to Philip Kotze 
and as such no new appointment needs to be made due to his departure.           
Rick Menell steps down from Harmony"s board as a non-executive director in order
to spend most of his time on his new role as CEO of TEAL, a junior Toronto      
listed exploration company.  Rick joined Harmony"s board in 2004 with Harmony"s 
acquisition of Avgold.  He was elected deputy chairman and served in that role  
until his resignation.                                                          
Patrice Motsepe commented; "On behalf of the board, I wish to thank Rick for his
loyal support as my deputy and we all wish him well for the future."            
End
