Johannesburg.  Monday,  4  August  2008. Harmony  Gold  Mining  Company  Limited
(Harmony)  is  pleased  to publish its Statement of Mineral  Resources  and  Ore
Reserves  which has been produced in accordance with the South African Code  for
the  Reporting of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (SAMREC Code)  and  the
Australian Code (JORC Code) as at 30 June 2008.                                 
Mineral Resources                                                               
Harmony  announces gold Mineral Resources of 253.6 million ounces.  The  Mineral
Resources shows a year-on-year negative variance of 28 million ounces mainly  as
a  result of corporate activity and classifying operations as discontinued.  The
discontinued operations amounts to 32,6 million ounces.                         
Ore Reserves                                                                    
The  declared  Ore Reserves amounts to 50.5 million ounces with a year  on  year
negative  variance  of 3.1 million ounces. Corporate activity  and  discontinued
operations  contributes to a significant portion of this variance of  which  the
discontinued operations totals 1.7 million ounces. Table 1 shows more detail  of
the year on year reserve variance.

As  indicated  in  the table above, Harmony`s Ore Reserves as at  30  June  2008
reflects  a  year-on-year depletion of 2.0 million ounces.  Corporate  activity,
discontinued operations, restructuring of certain shafts and geological  related
changes  accounts for a further decrease of 5.6 million ounces of  reserves.  On
the positive side there is a net addition of 4.5 million ounces of reserves from
surface stockpiles.                                                             
A  gold  price of US$750/oz was used for the conversion of Mineral Resources  to
Ore  Reserves at our South African and Papua New Guinea operations. An  exchange
rate  of  USD/ZAR 7.46 for South Africa and AUD/USD 0.80 for Australia has  been
used, resulting in a gold price of R180 000/kg and A$850/oz respectively.
