safety
Johannesburg. Tuesday, 27 October 2009. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(Harmony) announced this morning that rescue workers have brought to safety
the two employees trapped underground following yesterday`s rockfall at the
company`s Target Mine in the Free State.
All employees involved were accounted for at 20:00 last night.
The two rescued employees both sustained injuries and have been admitted to
hospital. Their condition is stable.
Two employees died in yesterday`s rockfall, the circumstances of which are
being investigated both internally and in conjunction with the Safety
Inspectorate of the Department of Mineral Resources. Production at the mine

rockfall took place is secured and that working places are supported and made
safe.
Management extends its deepest condolences to the families, friends and
