Johannesburg, Tuesday, 21 August 2018. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony” and/or “the Company”) is pleased to announce its operational and financial results for the year ended 30 June 2018 (“FY18”).

“Our growth aspiration to produce 1.5 million ounces and improve the quality of our asset portfolio was realised with the re-investment in Hidden Valley (FY17) and acquisition of Moab Khotsong (FY18). These operations will increase annual production by 450 000 to 500 000 ounces at an average life of mine all-in sustaining unit cost of US$950/oz. In addition, our successful hedging strategy has generated cash flows of R3.6 billion (US$276 million) since implementation in FY16, securing cash flow margins and enabling Harmony to repay debt and fund our quality growth strategy. Harmony has delivered”, said Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer of Harmony.
