Harmony disposes of Bendigo stake

April 01, 2005

---

Harmony today announced that it had disposed of its remaining 11.6% stake in Bendigo in Australia for A$32 million.

“While the Bendigo project has an exciting future, it does not fit our long term business strategy,” commented Bernard Swanepoel, Harmony CE.

The disposal, at a price of A$1.10 a share, resulted in Harmony realising a small profit of A$3 million.

“These funds could best be put to use in the Australasian region in investments such as Hidden Valley and Wafi, our exciting project in Papua New Guinea, which will deliver growth to our offshore production base,” concluded Bernard.
