WORK STOPPAGE AT VIRGINIA OPERATIONS
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony) acknowledges that 6 500 employees at its Virginia
operations downed tools earlier today.
The work stoppage at Harmony’s Virginia operations in the Free State is related to the safety
incident at Unisel Mine where an employee lost his life on Friday 11 July 2008. Harmony is engaging
with regional union representatives to address the matter.
The employee was killed at Unisel on Friday after accidently injuring himself with a water jet that
he was operating. Unisel has enjoyed an excellent safety record until this unfortunate incident,
having last week achieved their One Million Fatality Free Shifts.
In another incident, an employee was killed this morning at Harmony’s Elandsrand Gold Mine in an
accident involving a scraper.
Harmony deeply regrets the loss of life and extends its condolences to the next of kin. We will
continue to do all we can to eliminate fatal accidents on our mines.
