Johannesburg. Monday, 30 January 2012. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited      
(Harmony) regrets to advise that an employee was fatally injured yesterday

pillar extractions.

Harmony`s chief executive offer, Graham Briggs and his management team, express 
their sincere condolences to the family of the deceased and those affected by   
the incident.
