1. Introduction

   Further to the announcement released on SENS on 22 April 2008 wherein it was stated that Harmony and Newcrest Mining Limited (“Newcrest”) had signed an agreement which will allow Newcrest to earn 50% interest in Harmony’s Papua New Guinea gold assets (“the joint venture”), shareholders are advised of the pro forma financial effects of the transaction.

   Newcrest will earn its 50% interest in the joint venture by contributing a maximum of US$525 million(1). The commitment will be in two stages, namely, an initial US$180 million payment to acquire a 30.01% interest by 30 June 2008, together with a reimbursement to Harmony of US$45 million(1) in project expenditure (“Stage 1 completion”); and a farm-in commitment for the remaining 19.99% of approximately US$300 million to fund project expenditure up to the commencement of mining operations at Hidden Valley.

   (1)	Based on the current estimate of Harmony’s project expenditure of US$150 million from 1 January 2008 to the expected Stage 1 completion date of 30 June 2008.
