Latest Golpu drilling results will have profoundly positive impact on project
resource base
resource base
Johannesburg. Thursday, 22 April 2010. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(Harmony) today announced additional significant high grade drill intercepts from its
50:50 Morobe Mining Joint Venture in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Harmony CEO Graham Briggs says: “These results, together with those released in
January 2010, will have a profoundly positive impact on the resource base of the
project. The drill programme at Golpu is testing an exploration target in the range of
500 to 800 million tonnes (Mt) at high grades of between 0.7% and 1.1% copper (Cu)
and 0.5 to 0.7g/t gold (Au) for 8 to 18 million ounces (Moz) of gold and 3.5 to 8.8 Mt
of copper. This target includes the current resource.”
“Golpu could develop into one of the most significant copper-gold projects in PNG
with a possible size potential of 13 Moz Au and 6.5 Mt Cu, putting it on a scale similar
to other major copper-gold projects like OK Tedi and the historic mine in Bougainville.
This is a very exciting possibility for investors”.

The mineralisation which is associated with diorite porphyry is located around the
margin and to the northwest of the main Golpu orebody.
Mineralisation remains open to the northwest, to the south and at depth. Drilling to
realise the full potential of the system is ongoing. In particular, the high-grade copper
gold mineralisation in WR333 (187m @ 1.57 g/t Au and 3.16% Cu from 892m) is
open along strike to the northwest and at depth.

Additional exploration work is underway on the adjacent Wafi gold lodes as well as at Golpu and concept studies on
the Golpu and Wafi deposits are being undertaken. Results from this work together with a new resource estimate for
the Golpu system will be released with the annual resource statement.
