PRESS RELEASE 
 
Settlement of US class action against Harmony, subject to final court approval 
 
Johannesburg, 8 August 2011: Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) is 
pleased to announce that it has reached a mutually acceptable settlement with 
the lead plaintiff in the class action filed against it in the United States 
(US) District Court for the Southern District of New York in May 2008. The 
settlement requires final approval from the court on or after a hearing 
scheduled for the 10th of November 2011 and no assurance can be given that the 
settlement will ultimately be approved. 
 
Harmony did not admit to any liability in connection with the proposed 
settlement and, if finally approved, the settlement will result in the 
dismissal of all claims against Harmony. 
 
The class action was instituted against Harmony on the basis of alleged losses 
suffered by investors in certain securities traded in US securities markets 
during the alleged class period (25 April 2007 to and through 7 August 2007). 
 
Graham Briggs, chief executive officer, commented that: "A mediated settlement 
process was followed to avoid protracted and expensive litigation. Management 
will continue to focus on what is important - producing safe, profitable ounces 
and report its results in a transparent and responsible manner." 
 
ends.
