Harmony completes Hidden Valley acquisition

Johannesburg, Tuesday, 25 October 2016: Harmony Gold Mining Company

Limited (“Harmony” and/or “the company”) today announced that South African

regulatory approval has been obtained in support of its acquisition of the Hidden

Valley mine in Papua New Guinea. The transaction is now complete.

Harmony’s acquisition of its joint venture partner’s 50% share in Hidden Valley

and the surrounding tenement package in Papua New Guinea, is in line with the

company’s overall aspiration to increase its annual production profile to 1.5Moz

within three years.

Harmony plans to invest and develop stages 5 and 6 of the mine initially, mining

approximately 1.4Moz ounces of gold and 27Moz of silver over a period of seven

years. The company believes that Hidden Valley has the potential to contribute

approximately 180,000oz gold per annum to Harmony’s production profile, at an

all-in sustaining cost of less than US$950/oz.

“Harmony has the skills and technology to successfully recommission one of

PNG’s most recent mine developments”, said chief executive officer

Peter Steenkamp.

An update on the mine’s life of mine plan will be included in Harmony’s

production update, which will be released on the 10

of November 2016.
