Harmony meets annual production guidance; creates further
cash certainty
Johannesburg: Monday, 18 July 2016. Harmony Gold Mining Company
Limited (Harmony and/or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has
met its annual production guidance of approximately 1.1 million ounces. Year
on year Harmony continued to differentiate itself through quality grade
management, increasing underground grade by 6% to 5.02g/t – making it the
fourth consecutive year of increased recovered underground grades.
To create further cash certainty, Harmony has entered into short term gold
forward sale contracts for a total of 432 000 ounces over a period of
24 months, representing approximately 20% of the Company’s total
production. The sharp increase in and the volatility of the R/kg gold price
provided Harmony with an opportunity to lock in 20% of its gold sales at a very
attractive average rate of approximately R682 000/kg. The limited size and
duration of the hedge means shareholders retain full upside exposure on 80%
of Harmony’s future gold production for the next two years, after which
shareholders will have 100% exposure to the gold price.

“Our hard work has paid off and I am extremely pleased with Harmony’s
performance. Harmony is well positioned to benefit from a strong
R/kg gold price. We remain positive on the strength of the gold price, with
cash certainty being key in times of extreme gold price volatility. The gold
hedge was a necessary short term step to secure our margins at some of our
higher cost operations and creates certainty on a portion of our future cash
flows. It enables us to further reduce our debt and strengthen our balance
sheet,” said Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony.

Harmony will announce its operating and financial results for the six months
and year ended 30 June 2016 on Wednesday 17 August 2016, during a live
presentation at the Hilton Hotel, Sandton, at 9am SA time. For webcast and
dial-in information on the day, please refer to www.harmony.co.za/investors.
