Johannesburg: Wednesday, 5 November 2014:
Harmony Gold Mining Company
Limited (“Harmony”) is pleased to announce that its gold production increased by 6% to
9 435kg. Revenue increased by 18% to R4 431 million (US$412 million), as a result of a
16% increase in gold sold to 9 987kg and a 2% increase in the Rand gold price received at
R443 690/kg in the September 2014 quarter.
Quarter on quarter underground grade improved by 4% - to 4.84g/t - on the back of a 5%
year-on-year increase in recovered grade at the end of June 2014.
Although production profit increased by 8% to R913 million (US$85 million), a net loss was
recorded due to a foreign exchange translation loss of R190 million (US$18 million) on
foreign debt, as well as an increase in depreciation of R124 million (US$10 million). Quarter
on quarter net debt was reduced to R771 million (US$68 million), compared to net debt in
the previous quarter of R1 031 million (US$98 million). The net loss of R1 223 million
(US$116 million) in the June 2014 quarter reduced to R266 million (US$25 million) in the
September 2014 quarter.
“Our efforts to improve efficiencies are aimed not only at mining and processing, but in every
aspect of our business. We remain the most efficient South African gold miner, focused on
improving our margins and funding our capital. Harmony owns 50% of the spectacular Golpu
ore body in Papua New Guinea, which has the potential to develop into a world-class copper
gold mine and will allow us to sustain our business well into the future. Harmony remains
undervalued and its successes are not currently factored into the share price”, said Graham
Briggs, chief executive officer.
