HARMONY’S RAISES US$124 MILLION

Johannesburg — 29 January 2003 — Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (NYSE: HMY: JSE: HAR) today announced the successful placement of 8 million ordinary shares at a price of US$15,50 per share, representing a 5.5% discount on yesterday’s closing price on the JSE Securities Exchange Johannesburg. The proceeds of the placement, which was completed overnight, will be used to fund the current growth activities of the company.

“Harmony is at an exciting time of its history, where having a strong balance sheet is essential to fund its growth strategy at this time. With the announcement of our Doornkop South Reef Project, the Tshepong North Shaft Project and other growth opportunities, the company is increasing its future production profile,” commented Bernard Swanepoel, chief executive.

“Harmony, an unhedged gold producer, plans to use the proceeds from the placement to strengthen its balance sheet, thereby ensuring the delivery of these projects,” he concluded.
