Chief Executive Officer’s Review
Overview
The turnaround at Harmony continues with an increase in profitability
on the back of favourable market conditions and restructuring for
more quality ounces. ‘Fixing the mix’ – was a primary focus in the
quarter under review. Costs were well-controlled and a higher Rand
gold price received helped us towards significantly improved profit
levels. Work continued on the commissioning of our growth projects
and on production planning for the Pamodzi Gold Free State assets.
In addition, we reported some very exciting exploration results out
of Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Safety
With deep regret, I must report that five of our colleagues died in
work-related incidents during the quarter. Those who died were:
Lekhetho Ranko, a team leader at Bambanani, Ashley Nortje a
boilermaker, and Keith Coleman, a maintenance technician, both at
Target; Lebusa Elia, a team leader at Virginia Operations; and Martin
Thosa, a night shift cleaner at Elandsrand. I would like to extend
my deepest condolences to their families, friends and colleagues.
Our Fatal Injury Frequency Rate (FIFR) showed an encouraging
improvement quarter on quarter. Whilst the current quarter has
not been great, safety is a high priority and is being constantly
addressed. The rewards of these will be seen in time.
Detailed coverage of our safety and health performance and the
measures taken to ensure a safe working environment is contained
in the safety and health section on page 5.
Gold market
The South African Rand was stronger against the US Dollar during
the quarter, the exchange rate averaging R7.49/US$ compared with
R7.78/US$ in the previous quarter.
The US Dollar gold price averaged $1 100/oz, up 14.9% on the
previous quarter, pointing to the metal’s continuing robustness as
world economies recover from the meltdown of 2008. Consequently,
the Rand gold price we received for our production averaged
R264 774/kg, a 10.6% improvement quarter on quarter.
What matters primarily to us as a dominant South African gold
producer, is of course the Rand gold price we receive, the
determinant of which is the Rand/Dollar exchange rate. While
the higher Rand gold price received during the December 2009
quarter was most welcome, we still hold the view that general Rand
strength is likely to continue for so long as any global economic
uncertainties last. We therefore expect the gold price to remain
fairly flat for the next 12 months in R/kg terms.
Operating and financial results
Gold production for the quarter was down 1.2% to 11 569kg as
expected, mainly due to the restructuring, more detail of which is
provided below. Underground volume was 6.2% lower at 2 243 000t,
underground grade flat at 4.51g/t, and underground production
thus 5.7% lower at 325 268oz. Surface volumes increased by 22.9%
to 2 681 000t. Combined with a 20% increase in grade to 0.54g/t,
resulted in surface production increasing by 46.8% to 46 688oz.
The increase in surface production can mainly be attributed to our
opencast operations at PNG.
The aforementioned improvement in the average Rand gold price we
received resulted in an 8.2% increase in revenue to R2 971 million,
and after accounting for total cash operating costs – 1% lower at
R2 172 million mainly because of the lower summer electricity tariff
– cash operating profit was 44.9% higher at R800 million.
Further financial and operating results information is contained in
the financial overview on page 5, and in the operational overview
commencing on page 6.
Restructuring for sustained profitability
As part of our stated strategy, cutbacks from marginal loss-making
mining operations at Harmony could be expected. Our objective is
to eliminate high-cost ounces from our production profile.
We carefully reviewed our asset portfolio over a period of some
months.
During the December 2009 quarter there was an intense focus
on the uneconomical operations – specifically, Harmony 2 shaft,
Merriespruit 1 and 3 shafts, and Brand 3 shaft, all contained within
the Virginia operations; and the Evander 2, 5 and 7 shafts.
Brand 3 and Evander 7 ceased production, mainly due to depletion
of their ore bodies, mature infrastructure and low grades. A number
of their employees were redeployed to our growth projects to fill
vacancies or to replace contractors at other operations.
Evander 2 and 5 were placed on care and maintenance during
January 2010. We will continue to closely monitor Harmony 2,
while the Merriespruit shafts appear to have remaining potential,
provided they meet their production targets. It is likely that we
will be able to minimise further retrenchments by absorbing some
employees at the Pamodzi Gold Free State operations.
Growth project commissioning
The Company continued to focus on commissioning growth projects
during the quarter, which showed encouraging results.
At Phakisa, volume increased by 22.5%, while recovery from the
previous quarter’s geological interferences and resolution of
infrastructure problems were adequately addressed. Tshepong’s
grade challenge is expected to continue until production from
the less erratic, higher-grade Sub-66 Decline area builds up. At
Bambanani, the Shaft Pillar Extraction Project is gaining momentum,
with development well under way.
Doornkop shaft received ISO 14001 accreditation in December 2009,
the first Harmony operation to achieve this. Work during the
Christmas break helped to reduce the impact of a shaft barrel
delay on shaft equipping. While Elandsrand had a disappointing
production quarter, the No 1 settler dam was sealed and
pre-commissioning of the 115 level pump station was completed in
preparation for full commissioning during the March 2010 quarter.
The 100 level refrigeration complex construction is 90% complete,
with completion planned for November 2010.
In PNG, remaining sections of the Hidden Valley process plant were 
completed in October 2009 and the
overland conveyor in early 
December 2009. The past quarter
yielded 43 028oz of gold production 
and 53 081oz of silver, 50%
of which is attributable to Harmony. Hidden 
Valley is expected to
reach commercial levels of production in March 2010 quarter.

Results for the second quarter and six months
ended 31 December 2009
Progressing other projects
The business plan for the Pamodzi Gold Free State assets was
completed during the quarter, the key milestones of which include:
production of 18kg of gold a month from rock dump milling at
Target. Our planning includes the recovery of some 800kg of
gold from the plant clean-up; and production build-up from the
underground assets to 150 000oz over the next 24 months. The
reserve and resource estimates are currently being revised.
Re-treatment of surface tailings is proving to be an attractive
proposition from both safety and cost perspectives. At our Phoenix
Project in the Free State, we plan to increase volume by 400 000tpm
to 900 000tpm, and at the nearby and re-commissioned Project
Saints the mothballed St Helena plant will be upgraded to treat
surface tailings over a period of at least 20 years. We are looking at
financing options to fund these projects.
Project TPM is evaluating the potential for the economic recovery
of uranium from the higher grade uranium ore mined at Tshepong,
Phakisa and Masimong. Currrent activities include resource
estimation, environmental studies, process and plant design, as
well as metallurgical and flotation test work. We are now entering a
12-month feasability stage.
Exploration
Drilling at the Morobe Mining Joint Venture’s Golpu West prospect
in Papua New Guinea has achieved several highly significant
intercepts of porphyry copper gold mineralisation. These form a
new zone of mineralisation immediately west of the known Golpu
resource. Although the mineralisation is open at depth and along
strike, it is evident that this new discovery will have a material effect
on the Golpu resource base and mining studies.
A new zone of epithermal gold mineralisation was outlined in initial
drilling at the Northern Diatreme Margin prospect at Wafi, and a
major new gold anomaly defined through reconnaissance stream
sediment sampling at Bavaga. The latter lies about 6km north of
the Wafi-Golpu project, on the Wafi transfer structure. The size
of the footprint (>1 km in diameter) and the tenor of the anomaly
(>1 g/t Au) are particularly encouraging and suggest potential for a
significant gold deposit.
Further information on our exploration activities is contained in the
exploration section commencing on page 12.
Harmony team
Hannes Meyer was appointed as financial director designate
on 1 August 2009 and officially took over Harmony’s financial
director’s responsibilities from Frank Abbott on 1 November
2009, following his appointment to Harmony’s Board as executive
director. Hannes is a qualified chartered accountant with more than
14 years’ experience in the mining industry. He brings with him vast
knowledge and experience of the mining industry from a financial
perspective and he has already proven to be an asset to Harmony.
Frank Abbott agreed to continue to serve on the Harmony Board as
an executive director for the next 12 months, as from January 2010.
Frank will focus on the strategic direction and growth of the
company. We are delighted that we have these two individuals on
our team and look forward to the contributions they will make.
Looking ahead
We will push ahead with the commissioning of our growth projects,
in order to bring to account their quality ounces, and we will
continue to pursue profitable growth opportunities – organically,
by acquisition and through forging strategic partnerships. Our
immediate goal remains generating profitable ounces of production
and earnings to reward our shareholders, both through dividends and
future growth. We have made good progress in this regard, having
produced 748 555oz for the six months ended 31 December 2009.
We will continue to engage in robust, constructive debate on issues
that may affect the South African mining industry – in particular
the outrageous power price increases being considered and the
nationalisation of the mines.

Safety and health
Safety
Harmony continues to focus on sustainable safety improvements.
Our management team is committed to ensuring that safety remains
a priority at Harmony and to ensure that safety procedures and
protocols of the highest standards are implemented at all Harmony’s
operations. Regrettably, fi ve fatalities were recorded during the quarter
under review. Falls of ground and tramming accidents remain the main
causes of the accidents.
We are pleased to announce that during the December 2009 quarter,
a single digit Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) was achieved for
the fi fth consecutive quarter and also improved by 18% on year-to-
date fi gures from 9.35 to 7.64. However, the LTIFR dropped 20% from
6.91 in the previous quarter to 8.30. The Fatality Injury Frequency Rate
(FIFR) indicated a remarked improvement of 38% quarter on quarter
from 0.32 to 0.20. However, the year to date fi gure deteriorated 24%
from 0.21 to 0.26. The year to date Reportable injury Frequency Rate
(RIFR) improved by 18% when compared to the actual fi gure for the
previous year (from 4.97 to 4.09), but regressed by 29% quarter on
quarter (from 3.55 to 4.59).
A signifi cant amount of attention was directed towards safety
management during the quarter under review. Management has
played a signifi cant role in setting safety objectives and in developing
safety strategies that continue to focus on:
management leading by example;
involvement of all stakeholders;
compliance with standards, and the auditing thereof;
Financial overview
Cash operating profit was 44.9% higher at R800 million due to a higher
average Rand gold price received and lower cash operating costs
counteracting the impact of lower gold production and gold sold
(excluding ounces from Hidden Valley).
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share increased from a loss of 7 SA cents to
earnings of 28 SA cents. Similarly, headline earnings increased from
a headline loss of 12 SA cents to headline earnings of 49 SA cents.
This improvement can be attributed to an increase in revenue.
Revenue
A 10.6% increase in the average Rand gold price received to
R264 774/kg took revenue 8.2% higher to R2 971 million in spite
of a 6.2% decrease in gold production to 10 900kg (excluding gold
production at Hidden Valley) and a 2.2% decrease in gold sold to
11 224kg (excluding gold sold at Hidden Valley).
Costs
Total cash operating costs were 1% lower at R2 172 million due
mainly to the lower summer-month electricity tariff applicable. Cash
operating unit costs rose by 2% to R192 101/kg due to lower gold
production.
behaviour-based campaigns and initiatives;
recognition of achievements; and
in situ training, particularly in hazard identifi cation and risk
assessment.
Harmony’s commitment to zero fatalities is communicated to
employees on a regular basis, at every level of the company with a
persistent, deliberate and consistent safety awareness effort. We have
a comprehensive safety auditing programme (fi rst reported in FY07) in
place to assess the physical workplace, compliance with fall of ground
regulations, shafts and metallurgical processes (specifi cally in relation
to compliance with the Cyanide Code).
More than 90% of the group’s South African workforce participated in
formal joint management-worker health and safety committees that
participate in occupational health and safety programmes.
The following operations achieved outstanding safety results:
Harmony Total Operations – 1 000 000 fatality free shifts twice
during the quarter
Ernest Oppenheimer Hospital – 4 000 000 fatality free shifts
Harmony 2 and Merriespruit 1 and 3 operations as a unit – 2 500 000
fatality free shifts
Randfontein Medical Bureau – 1 250 000 fatality free shifts
Tshepong – 750 000 fatality free shifts
Evander 8 shaft – 2 250 000 fatality free shifts
Free State Surface Operations – 2 000 000 fatality free shifts
Capital expenditure
Total capital expenditure was 2.5% lower at R892 million. While
capital expenditure for the South African operations increased by
6.8% to R711 million, Hidden Valley capital expenditure was 27.3%
lower at R181 million due to completion of construction at the site
starting to come to an end.
Impairment of assets
An impairment of R67 million for Evander 2 and 5 shafts and
R37 million for Brand 3 shaft were recorded following the decision
to place these shafts on care and maintenance.
Security costs
Security costs increased by 19% to R90.5 million in calendar year
2009, in comparison to calendar year 2008 (R76 million), mainly due
to additional measures being put in place to curb criminal mining.
Disposals
The remaining Avoca shares were disposed of in October 2009
for A$4.1 million.
Nedbank facility
The Company entered into loan facilities with Nedbank Limited in
December 2009. One being term facility of R900 million and the other
a revolving credit facility of R600 million to pay for the acquisition
of the Pamodzi Free State assets and to create financial flexibility.

Safety during the quarter was poor. A fall of ground (FOG) fatality
was recorded and and far-reaching corrective measures were taken
as a consequence, including a change in the mining method used in
steeply dipping, high-stoping-width panels from breast to down-dip.
An 18% improvement in recovered grade to 7.58g/t helped to
contain the impact of a 16% drop in volume to 123 000t and gold
production was 2% lower at 932kg.
Higher grade resulted both from moving of panels during October
2009 and from the achievement of required volumes from higher-
grade panels. Grade is expected to be maintained going forward by
moving of crews from low-grade areas to higher-grade areas in the
upper shaft.
Lower volume was a consequence both of the aforementioned
change in mining method and from generally unsatisfactory
performance during December 2009.
Cash costs were 10% lower at R179 746/kg, mainly as a result of
lower summer-month electricity tariffs applicable.
A 97% improvement in cash operating profit to R80 million resulted
both from a higher Rand gold price received and lower costs.
Capital expenditure was 21% higher, reflecting the growing
momentum of the Shaft Pillar Extraction Project.

Even more focus on safety-related matters resulted in improved
procedures, training, maintenance and behaviour. The Doornkop
shaft received ISO 14001 accreditation in December 2009, the first
Harmony operation to achieve this milestone.
While volume improved by 14% to 148 000t, reflecting a 26%
increase in square metres blasted, recovered grade was 14% lower
at 3.31g/t, resulting in a 2% decline in gold production to 490kg.
Lower recovered grade was a consequence both of tonnage locked
During the quarter, a safety statistics audit conducted by the auditors
revealed that under-reporting of accidents took place at Harmony’s
Phakisa mine during the period August to November 2009. Appropriate
measures have been taken to rectify this and to ensure that all
accidents are correctly recorded going forward.
Health
Harmony continues to roll out and invest in initiatives and healthcare
programmes to protect the well-being of our employees and improve
productivity of the company going forward.
In terms of occupational hygiene, noise and dust, we are pleased to
announce that the implementation of personalised hearing protection
devices (HPD’s) is about 87% completed. The installation of sound
attenuators on mechanical loaders has been scheduled and some
operations have already begun with the installation process.
Furthermore, Harmony hosted the Chamber of Mines MOSH dust
mini-summit on 12 November 2009 in the Free State, which bares
testimony to our pro-active initiatives that are recognised by external
stakeholders. Also during the quarter under review, the north and
south airborne pollutant laboratories were audited by an external
authority and we are pleased to announce that we achieved an overall
compliance of 97%.

up underground due to a fire on the main feed conveyor belt to the
plant and a plant thickener breakdown.
Cash costs rose by 16% to R198 561/kg, mainly as a result of planned
labour build-up to meet the operation’s future production profile.
Cash operating profit was 70% higher at R31.4 million however,
reflecting the higher Rand gold price received.
While shaft barrel delays at the South Reef Project caused equipping
to fall behind, 14 days were gained during the Christmas break and
the North and South Rock Winder compartments are now equipped
to 212 level. The construction of the 212 level conveyor belt is
expected to be completed by February 2010.

Increased seismicity during the quarter resulted in one fatality
and a rise in the number of lost time injuries. As a consequence
pre-conditioning of stope faces has been improved to reduce the
risk of face ejection resulting from small, volatile seismic events, and
a broader range of safety initiatives continue to be applied.
Gold production was 15% lower at 1 387kg, reflecting a 10% decline
in volume to 235 000t and a 6% drop in recovered grade to 5.90g/t.
Lower volume resulted from a lack of available face length and from
five productions shifts lost, three due to a Section 54 instruction
following the fatality, one to a power outage caused by a faulty
transformer at the Eskom sub-station and one to a compressor
breakdown. Lower recovered grade was a consequence of lower
face grade, mine call factor and the treatment of low-grade tonnage
from a dam clean-up in the plant.
While cash operating costs were 9% higher at R199 147, reflecting
lower production, cash operating profit was 47% higher at
R101 million due to the improved Rand gold price received.

Safety performance was satisfactory at Evander.
Volume was 5% lower at 245 000t and recovered grade 10% lower
at 4.31g/t, resulting in a 15% decline in gold production to 1 057kg.
Lower volume was mainly the result of the closure of Evander 7 shaft
in December 2009 and panels stopped at Evander 8 shaft because of
high temperatures. Steps to improve ventilation at Evander 8 shaft
have been taken. Lower recovered grade resulted primarily from a
5% decline in face grade and in mine call factor.
Cash operating costs were 10% higher at R249 411/kg, due mainly to
the drop in gold production. Cash operating profit was 38% higher at
R23.4 million due to the higher Rand gold price received.
The impact of the closure of Evander 2 and 5 shafts in January
2010 will reflect in the operation’s results for the quarter ended
31 March 2010.

Joel recorded a very satisfactory quarter from a safety perspective,
being fatality-free for more than two years.
While volume declined by 18% to 112 000t, recovered grade was
39% higher at 5.28g/t, resulting in a 15% increase in gold production
to 591kg.
Lower volume was due to lower tonnes mined in December 2009
arising from a drop in stoping width, raise boring of the extension

Results for the second quarter and six months
ended 31 December 2009
to the lift shaft and a mud rush on the belt level. Higher recovered
grade was due to increased face grade in the west, more vamping in
the upper mine and reduced stoping widths.
Cash operating costs were 16% lower at R167 232/kg, reflecting
higher gold production, lower electricity costs and good stores
controls. Cash operating profit was 159% higher at R59.4 million due
to higher gold production and an increase in the Rand gold price
received.
Capital expenditure increased by 82% from R17.8 million to
R32.4 million mainly due to the continued capital being spent on the
re-commissioning of Joel plant. Joel plant started treating ore from
Joel shaft during the December 2009 quarter.
Raise boring of the lift shaft extension to 129 level has been
completed. Cleaning operations are in progress which will be
followed by shaft support work and equipping. Completion is
expected in September 2010.

Masimong reported very good safety results with an improvement
in both LTIFR and RIFR.
Gold production was 9% lower at 1 242kg. While volume was flat at
235 000t, recovered grade was 9% lower at 5.29g/t due to a drop in
B Reef grades. The Basal Reef panels stayed fairly constant and will
continue to do so.
Cash operating costs were 4% higher at 142 754/kg, a consequence
of the lower gold production. Masimong remains the lowest R/
kg cost producer in the company, including surface operations. A
higher Rand gold price received resulted in an 8% increase in cash
operating profit to R149.7 million.
Capital was 16% higher at R45.0 million but lower than planned due
to the delayed delivery of emergency generators and fridge plant,
now scheduled to arrive in the third and fourth quarters of FY10.

Safety indicators deteriorated quarter on quarter, pointing to a need
for re-focus.
Gold production rose by 35% to 350kg, reflecting a 23% increase in
volume to 87 000t and a 10% improvement in recovered grade to
4.02g/t. Volume, nonetheless, was below expectation as the mine
continues to address geological issues and down-time on new
infrastructure.
Cash operating costs were 3% lower at R216 006/kg. Higher gold
production and a higher Rand gold price received led to a 222%
increase in cash operating profit to R16.9 million.
The third railveyor train was commissioned during the December
2009 break, thus completing railveyor infrastructure for full
production. Fine-tuning of the Phase 1 infrastructure – in particular,
the remaining four ice plants and the rock handling system –
continues.

Target recorded two fatalities during the quarter. Fall of ground
prevention has become a major focus, and in the narrow reef mining
section where seismicity has increased, all panels are now mined
with safety nets installed on the faces.

While volume was only 1% lower at 191 000t, recovered grade
was 12% lower at 4.14g/t compared with the previous quarter’s
unexpected high of 4.71g/t, resulting in a 13% drop in gold production
to 791kg. Contributing to volume stability is improved availability of
massive stopes through better planning and design, and the return
to production of all 10 narrow reef mining panels following resolution
of ventilation and cooling challenges. Ore reserve management
(ORM) remains crucial to Target’s success going forward; with this
in mind, the ORM team has recently undergone further training and
development.
Cash operating costs were 10% higher at R182 513/kg as a result
of lower grade. Lower electricity, plant and contractor costs and
rationalisation of the trackless fleet will assist in reducing costs in
future. Cash operating profit was 22% lower at R46.6 million due to
lower gold production.

Tshepong was fatality-free for the second consecutive quarter, a
notable achievement, and reflective of the success of various safety
initiatives.
Gold production was flat at 1 692kg, a 5% increase in recovered
grade to 4.27g/t compensating for a 5% decline in volume to
396 000t caused by the shorter December delivery month. Face
grade remains a challenge due to mining at the edge of the pay
shoot where values are more erratic but improvements carried out
to the Harmony 1 Plant are reflected in the higher recovered grade.
Cash operating costs were 4% down at R162 528/kg, due mainly to
lower electricity costs. This, together with a higher Rand gold price
received resulted in a 39% improvement in cash operating profit to
R176 million.
Capital expenditure was 19% lower due to less spent on the
Sub 71 Decline project and delays in the delivery of the emergency
generators.

Virginia Operations recorded one fatality during the quarter, at the
Merriespruit 3 shaft.
The Virginia Operations recorded a better quarter, reflecting the
impact of restructuring (closure of Brand 3 shaft). While a 10%
increase in recovered grade to 3.37g/t did not compensate for a 13%
drop in volume to 471 000t and gold production was consequently
5% lower at 1 585kg, cash operating costs were down 3% to
R241 214/kg. This, together with a higher Rand gold price received,
resulted in a cash operating profit of R38.3 million compared with
the previous quarter’s R14.5 million loss.

Kalgold recorded a lost time injury-free quarter.
Gold production was 16% lower at 350kg, reflecting lower volume –
down 6% to 423 000t from the September quarter’s exceptional high
of 452 000t – and lower recovered grade, down 10% to 0.83g/t. Heavy
rain both restricted mining in the open pit and caused oxidised
material to form clay, which negatively affected milling efficiency.
Cash operating costs were 7% higher at R185 666/kg, but cash
operating profit rose by 119% to R32.4 million due to the higher Rand
gold price received.

in volume to 1 522 000t, above design capacity of 1 500 000t, and a
4% increase in recovered grade to 0.122g/t.
Improved grade was as a result of mining the Brand A dam’s higher-
grade bottom strip.
Cash operating costs were 11% lower at R154 497/kg, and a range
of measures are in process to reduce costs further. Cash operating
profit was 88% higher at R20.6 million due to higher production,
lower costs and a higher Rand gold price received.

93kg of gold from the Winkelhaak plant mill clean-up was reported in
the September quarter.
Cash operating costs were substantially higher in the quarter under

Development
Note: The ore reserve block grades reflect the grades of the blocks in the life of mine plans of the various operations. Those blocks are to a large degree 
          the blocks above a certain cut off grade that has been targeted for mining. The development grades are the grades as sampled in the ongoing 
          on-reef development at the operations and no selectivity has been applied from a grade point of view.
Bambanani
The Bambanani ore reserve grade is to a large degree a reflection of
the future extraction of the high grade Basal Reef shaft pillar. All the
on reef development is currently taking place in the sub-shaft area
where the grades are lower than the average reserve grade. There has
however been an improvement in the quarter to quarter development
grades in line with expectations. No on-reef development was planned
in the high grade shaft pillar during the quarter.
Doornkop
There was a further quarter on quarter increase in the South Reef
development grades and it is in line with the reserve grade. There
was however a quarter on quarter drop in the grade in the Kimberley
reef due to facies changes as well as partial exposure of the channel
in certain areas.
Elandsrand
Good grades in line with expectations were intersected in both the
old and new mine resulting in a quarter on quarter improvement in
development grade.
Evander
There was a significant quarter on quarter improvement in grade
as the raises advanced from the edge of the payshoot into the
payshoot. Increase in grades expected to continue.
Joel
Most of the on reef development is directed towards 129 level in
the form of winzes (down dip on reef development). Good grades
continues to be intersected which resulted in an increase in
quarter on quarter development grades. The rolling four-quarter
development grade remains higher than the reserve grade.
International operations
Hidden Valley
Harmony’s 50% share of gold production for the quarter was
21 514 ounces. Construction of the 5km overland conveyor linking
the Hidden Valley pit with the processing plant was completed
during the quarter.
The processing plant ramp up continued during the quarter with ore
sourced from the Hamata and Hidden Valley pits and mill throughput
reaching 85% of design capacity in December. The processing plant
is expected to reach full production during the March 2010 quarter
following commissioning of the flotation circuit.
Hidden Valley will be fully commissioned for mining and process
throughput by the end of January 2010 but the process plant profile
for full recovery of both gold and silver will not be finalised until the
end of February. The original design capacity for the Hidden Valley
mine and processing plant will be achieved during the fourth quarter
of FY10.

Results for the second quarter and six months
ended 31 December 2009
Exploration
Evander 6 shaft and Twistdraai (Joint Venture with Taung)
Harmony’s objective for these areas is to complete a bankable
feasibility study of the two areas within five years. As soon as
we have received permission from the Department of Mineral
Resources (DMR) to begin the surface drilling, we will commence
with the drilling process.
A study entailing a detailed mine plan and schedule of the
Evander 6 shaft was completed during the quarter. The purpose of
the study is to optimise the extraction of the orebody and improve
the project financials.
Evander South surface drilling
Good progress was made with the drilling programme during the
quarter. A total of 1 420 metres were drilled and the drilling was
completed in October 2009. A total of 24 671 metres were drilled,
which was 2% above the planned 24 072 metres. Demobilisation
of rigs and rehabilitation of the drilling sites concluded the drilling
programme. Costs were 3% under budget.
Pleasing sampling results for 15 boreholes were received during the
quarter. A preliminary update of the geological (datamine) model
using the results obtained to date was completed towards the end
of December 2009.
Poplar
The Poplar project refers to the region in the north of the Evander
basin. We plan to continue with the drilling programme and to
re-evaluate the ore resource.
The Phase 1 programme will involve the drilling of 25 holes (19 500 m).
Eight holes from the previous programme, which had been piloted,
will be re-drilled (7 800 m) and a further 17 holes (11 700 m) drilled.
The programme is scheduled to take 12 months to complete.
Waste Metres / Reef Metres / Ave cmg/t
Masimong
Masimong had a disappointing quarter in terms of on-reef
development due to an underperformance on the ‘B’ Reef drives
and the grades in the Basal Reef development also being below
expectation.
Phakisa
The on reef development is still close to the shaft in the lower-grade
southern areas. Grades have however improved quarter on quarter
and will further improve as the development progress towards the
north and more reef is exposed within the major north west- to
south east-trending Basal Reef payshoot.
Target (narrow reef mining)
Development sampling is reported only on those raises being
developed for “gold” as distinct from those raises developed on
selected horizons to “de-stress” future massive stopes. Figures
represent only 35 metres (7 sections) of Raise and these values are
not really representative of the narrow reef grade, nor indeed of the
mine as a whole. It is important to note that, after a period of limited
raise development, raise metres are on the increase at Target and
next quarter’s results ought to be a little more representative.
Tshepong
There was a quarter on quarter decrease in development grades as a
large proportion of the on-reef development is currently taking place
on the edges of the Tshepong payshoot. The development grade is
expected to improve as new raise lines becomes available within the
deeper extension of the payshoot in the Sub 66 and Sub 71 decline
areas and the B reef development moves into high grade channels.
Virginia
In general, the development at Unisel produced good results,
especially on the Basal reef and Leader reef development.
Middle reef grades were disappointing due to areas of increased
channelisation that was intersected The development grades were
lower than expected at Merriespruit and Harmony 2.

Joel North surface drilling – exploration progress
The current surface drilling programme at Joel North involves drilling
six holes to a depth of between 1 300m and 1 400m to the north of
the current Joel mine workings to allow an upgrade of the resource
between 129 level and 137 level.
During the quarter, a fourth diamond drilling machine was brought
on site. LB24 was completed in November 2009 with five deflections
having been drilled. LB23 has also intersected reef and the
deflections are now being drilled. LB23 is expected to be completed
by the end of January 2010, whilst LB25 and LB27 will be finished
early in February 2010. LB22 and LB28 will continue into March 2010.
The programme is about 70% complete and projected completion is
scheduled for April 2010.


Project Saints
Project Saints entails the re-treating of surface tailings in the Free
State at a rate of 1 million tonnes per month. During the quarter
a final feasibility gate-keeping session was held to consider the
outstanding items from the previous feasibility gate-keeping.
Re-drilling where necessary was completed, assays received and
the models were updated.
Phoenix expansion
The current Phoenix project (Saaiplaas plant) has been operating for
almost three years and involves the re-treating of 500 000 tpm of
tailings. It is planned to increase the tonnage throughput at Phoenix
by 400 000 tpm to 900 000 tpm. At the increased throughput rate,
the life of the project is 12 years after which deposition capacity
will run out. Further resources will be available to be treated if more
deposition capacity is permitted within this 12-year period.
Project Libra
With regards to Project Libra, the re-treating of surface tailings at
a rate of 1 million tonnes per month from the Winkelhaak, Leslie
and Kinross tailings dams at Evander, the start of the Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) study has been postponed due to a final
tailings deposition site not having been determined.
During the quarter under review dams were re-drilled and the
samples assayed. These processes are continuing. Final assay and
recovery results are due and thereafter the optimal way to mine the
dams will be determined and a production schedule drawn up.
Project TPM
During the quarter, the pilot flotation plant was erected and
commissioned. The primary aim of the plant is to confirm sulphur
recoveries and to optimise the reagent suite for the proposed
TPM plant using live feed from the Harmony 1 plant.
Good progress on the EIA, which is due for submission in March
2010, was made during the December 2009 quarter. Furthermore,
a comprehensive set of procedures pertaining to uranium sampling
and assaying was also completed.
The only outstanding aspect of the pre-feasibility study is the
declaration of a resource and reserve. An application for capital
to proceed with the feasibility study and demonstration plant has
been put forward. The feasibility study will develop and present
a comprehensive and detailed description of the final optimised
process and plant design for the project.
St Helena 10 shaft
This project involves the re-opening of St Helena 10 shaft. During
the December quarter, the block plans incorporating the faulting
structure were prepared and a two dimensional model built.
A mining schedule was drawn up and more accurate capital and
operating costs were determined.
Harmony’s application for power at St Helena 8 and 10 shafts was
approved by Eskom during the quarter under review. We have
submitted an amended EMP to the DMR and are awaiting a response.
Exploration – Morobe JV (50%)
Morobe JV drilling during the quarter included testing of priority
target areas at Wafi-Golpu and ongoing resource definition at Hidden
Valley.
Wafi
At Wafi, drilling continued testing the epithermal gold mineralisation
at the Northern margin of the diatreme. Significant results include:
•   WR318:
21.8m @ 1.45g/t Au, 9.02g/t Ag from 66m
17.8m @ 1.0g/t Au, 5.22g/t Ag from 110.2m
58m @ 1.07g/t Au, 5.27g/t Ag from 140m
35m @ 1.02g/t Au, 1.9g/t Ag from 304m
Also at Wafi, drilling at Miapilli to determine the extent and source
of the porphyry mineralisation continued with 2 holes completed
during the quarter.
Golpu West
Discovery drilling on the Golpu West prospect in PNG identified a new
zone of high grade porphyry copper gold mineralisation adjacent to
the existing Golpu resource. The intercepts include average gold
and copper grades significantly higher than the Golpu resource.
The extent of the Golpu West mineralisation remains open and the
existing resource is expected to grow significantly.
At Golpu, discovery drilling identified a new zone of high grade
porphyry copper gold mineralisation west of the existing Golpu
resource. Significant intercepts at Golpu West include:
   WR321: 331m @ 0.51g/t Au & 0.93% Cu from 694m including
155m @ 0.88g/t Au & 1.5% Cu from 868m
–   WR327A: 478.4m @ 0.85g/t Au & 1.36% Cu from 506m including
155m @ 1.47g/t Au & 2.29% Cu from 691m
   WR328: 597m @ 0.57g/t Au & 0.96% Cu from 399m including
198m @ 1.13g/t Au & 1.88% Cu from 788m
The extent of Golpu West mineralisation remains open. Golpu West
is located off the western margin of the Golpu orebody, outside of
existing resource limits. Drilling to define the geometry and extent
of mineralisation is ongoing.
Also at Golpu, drilling has commenced at Golpu Deeps to test the
extent of the Golpu mineralisation at depth.

3.
Disposal groups classified as held-for-sale and discontinued operations
Following approval by the Board of Directors in April 2007, the assets and liabilities related to Mount Magnet ( an operation in Australia) were
classified as held-for-sale. This operation also met the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations in terms of IFRS 5. During the June
2009 quarter, it was decided that further drilling at the site to define the orebody would enhance the selling potential of the operation. As a
result, the operation no longer met the requirements of IFRS 5 to be classified as held-for-sale, and was therefore reclassified as continuing
operations again. Consequently, the income statements and earnings per share amounts for all comparative periods have been re-presented
taking this change into account.
4.
Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share
Earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue for the quarter ended 31 December
2009: 425.9 million (30 September 2009: 425.9 million, 31 December 2008: 406.8 million), and the six months ended 31 December 2009:
425.9 million (31 December 2008: 405.0 million) and the year ended 30 June 2009: 414.1 million.
The fully diluted earnings/(loss) per ordinary share is calculated on weighted average number of diluted ordinary shares in issue for the
quarter ended 31 December 2009: 427.5 million (30 September 2009: 427.2 million, 31 December 2008: 409.1 million), and the six months
ended 31 December 2009: 427.4 million (31 December 2008: 407.1 million) and the year ended 30 June 2009: 416.0 million.

Inventories
During the quarter ended 31 December 2009, the Group concluded two separate purchase agreements with Pamodzi Gold Free State
(Proprietary) Limited (In Provisional Liquidation) (Pamodzi), for the purchase of a waste rock dump and a gold plant to the value of
R120 million. The Group’s intention is to break up the plant and extract the gold in lock-up. The portion of inventory that is expected to be
recovered more than twelve months after balance sheet date has been classified as non-current.
6.
Restricted cash
The Group entered into two separate purchase agreements with Pamodzi for the purchase of Pamodzi’s Free State North and South Assets
for a total consideration of R280 million.
The Group had an obligation in terms of the North and South agreements to pay, at the conclusion of the later of the waste rock dump and
plant agreements, an amount equal to the purchase consideration into an escrow account as the North and South sale of assets agreements
were not yet unconditional on 31 December 2009. The escrow account is an interest-bearing trust account on which the interest accrues to
the benefit of the Group.

This expenditure will be financed from existing resources and borrowings where necessary.
Contingent liability
Class action.
On 18 April 2008, Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited was made aware that it has been named or may be named as a
defendant in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York on behalf of certain purchasers and sellers of
Harmony’s American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) with regard to certain of its business practises. Harmony has retained legal counsel, who
advise Harmony on further developments in the U.S.
During January 2009, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint with the Court. Subsequently, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss all claims
asserted in the Class Action Case with the Court. The plaintiffs have filed an opposing response and the Company has since replied to that
response. It is not possible to predict with certainty when the Court will rule on the Motion of Dismiss as the timing of the ruling is entirely
within the discretion of the Court. It is currently not possible to estimate if there will be a financial effect, or what that effect might be.
