PRESS RELEASE                                                                   
SPECTACULAR DRILL HOLE RESULTS AT WAFI- GOLPU                                   
Johannesburg. 3 March 2011. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony)       
is pleased to announce that the latest drill hole results at its Wafi-          
Golpu project (50% held by Harmony) have provided the highest                   
mineralisation values to date.                                                  
In October 2010, Harmony reported on drilling of the Wafi Golpu deposit,        
which extended the mineralisation beyond the porphyry copper-gold resource      
of 16Moz of gold and 4.8Mt of copper. In January 2011 we advised that           
further drilling has extended the deposit. The latest drilling shows even       
better results.                                                                 
WR377*:   883m @ 2.15% Cu and 2.23g/t Au (5.33g/t Au equivalents**) from        
913m including 628m @ 2.82% Cu and 3.06g/t Au (7.13g/t Au              
         equivalents**) from 1043m                                              
The intercept correlates with a zone of chalcopyrite and bornite                
mineralisation in the porphyry and surrounding metasediment. This hole          
extends the known porphyry mineralisation significantly outside the current     
resource shell. Mineralisation is open at depth and to the north of this        
intercept.                                                                      
This intersection continues to support our Exploration Target of 30 Million     
ounces of gold and 8 Million tonnes of copper.                                  
"Drilling at the Wafi-Golpu project continues to be successful.  The latest     
results confirm that this deposit is truly a world-class discovery", says       
Harmony`s Chief Executive Officer, Graham Briggs.

tables are based on information compiled by Greg Job who is a corporate         
member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and who has         
relevant experience of a `competent person` as defined by the code for          
reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in relation to the              
mineralisation being reported on and consents to the inclusion in the           
report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in
