Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited

is pleased to advise that it continued to increase its gold production for a third consecutive quarter. Underground grade was up close to 7% and overall gold production was 2% higher quarter on quarter. Newly appointed chief executive officer, Peter Steenkamp, commented: "The production teams kept their momentum, with the majority of the operations delivering both higher kilograms and higher grades. Combined with the current higher R/kg gold prices, the past quarter has been very rewarding for Harmony".
