Johannesburg, Monday, 15 June 2009. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited         
(Harmony) regretfully announces that a fall of ground accident occurred at its  
Masimong mine in the Free State last Friday morning, resulting in the death of a

Harmony`s Chief Executive Officer, Graham Briggs and his management team,       
express their sincere condolences to the family of the deceased.                
"Masimong has produced excellent safety results in the past year and its        
management team has placed great emphasis on safety on a daily basis by rolling 
out effective behaviour-based safety programmes. It remains unfortunate that    
such an incident still occurred. Harmony will continue to address safety as a   
priority at all its operations," adds Briggs.
