HARMONY APPOINTS FRANK ABBOTT AS INTERIM FINANCIAL DIRECTOR                     
The Chairman and directors of the Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited           
(Harmony) board announce today that it has unanimously approved the             
appointment of Frank Abbott as Interim Financial Director of Harmony for a      
period of six months with immediate effect.                                     
Ms Nomfundo Qangule, who was appointed Financial Director in July 2004, has     
resigned her position with immediate effect.                                    
Frank Abbott started his association with Harmony as a non-executive            
director and in 1997 was appointed as executive financial director.             
Following ARM Limited/ARMI transaction, it was agreed by the board that         
Frank be appointed financial director of ARM, while retaining his Harmony       
board appointment as non-executive director.                                    
Graham Briggs, Acting Chief Executive says: "The board`s decision to appoint    
Frank as Harmony`s Interim Financial Director is based on his extensive         
knowledge of Harmony and the mining industry. The Harmony board is therefore    
satisfied that Frank is the most experienced person in the interim for the      
position, until a permanent appoint can be made."
