Johannesburg. Wednesday, 5 March 2008. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) comments as follows on the release issued by the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) regarding mineworkers’ march to the offices of Harmony in Randfontein.
Management is aware of the concerns of the NUM. We have and will continue to engage with their representatives to allay any fears they may have in respect of the creation of the new uranium company.
