HARMONY APPOINTS FRANK ABBOTT AS INTERIM FINANCIAL DIRECTOR

Johannesburg, 22 August 2007. The Chairman and directors of the Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) board announce today that it has unanimously approved the appointment of Frank Abbott as Interim Financial Director of Harmony for a period of six months with immediate effect.

Ms Nomfundo Qangule, who was appointed Financial Director in July 2004, has resigned her position with immediate effect.

Frank Abbott started his association with Harmony as a non-executive director and in 1997 was appointed as executive financial director. Following the ARM Limited/ARMI transaction, it was agreed by the board that Frank be appointed financial director of ARM, while retaining his Harmony board appointment as non-executive director.

Graham Briggs, Acting Chief Executive says: “The board’s decision to appoint Frank as Harmony’s Interim Financial Director is based on his extensive knowledge of Harmony and the mining industry. The Harmony board is therefore satisfied that Frank is the most experienced person in the interim for the position, until a permanent appointment can be made.”
