Sale Agreement Between Harmony And Monarch Gold Terminated                      
Johannesburg. Friday, 1 August 2008. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited        
(Harmony) refers to its shareholder update of 8 July 2008, whereby it was       
advised that the terms of the sale contract of Harmony`s Mt Magnet operations in
Western Australia with Australian based junior miner Monarch Gold Mining Company
(Monarch) had been reconstituted.                                               
Subsequent to that, Monarch placed itself in voluntary administration. The      
Administrator has indicated that Monarch will not proceed with the proposed     
purchase and consequently the purchase agreement has been terminated.           
Harmony received from Monarch a deposit of A$5 million of which A$2.5 million is
refundable.                                                                     
The Mt Magnet asset package includes Hill 50, Great Fingall, St George, Star and
Big Bell mines, which comprises a resource inventory of 2.7Moz of gold,         
tenements covering about 62,000 hectares and 166 exploration licence blocks,    
along with a 2.7Mt a year capacity plant.                                       
Mt Magnet operations are currently on care and maintenance. Annual minimum      
tenement expenditure including rents and rates is A$5 million. Harmony has      
resumed management of the operation and has re-commenced the sale process.
