Harmony reaches agreement with unions

April 18, 2005

---

Harmony today announced that it has reached an understanding with two of the three recognised unions in its Free State operations in respect of retrenchments at five of its shafts. The unions are Solidarity and the United Association of South Africa.

In terms of the understandings the effective date of the retrenchments has been extended to 21 April 2005 to allow for the joint process implementing existing retrenchments at mine level.

The discussions with the other recognised union, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), ended inconclusively and the union is considering its position.
