Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Glossary of Terms
Term
Definition
Co-kriging
A method that is used to predict the value of the point at unobserved locations by sample points that are known
to be spatially interconnected by adding other variables that have a correlation with the main variable or can
also be used to predict 2 or more variables simultaneously.
Cut-off grade
Cut-off grade is the grade (i.e. the concentration of metal or mineral in rock) that determines the destination of
the material during mining. For purposes of establishing “prospects of economic extraction,” the cut-off grade is
the grade that distinguishes material deemed to have no economic value (it will not be mined in underground
mining or if mined in surface mining, its destination will be the waste dump) from material deemed to have
economic value (its ultimate destination during mining will be a processing facility). Other terms used in similar
fashion as cut-off grade include net smelter return, pay limit, and break-even stripping ratio.
Dilution
Unmineralized rock that is by necessity, removed along with ore during the mining process that effectively
lowers the overall grade of the ore.
Head grade
The average grade of ore fed into the mill.
Economically
viable
Economically viable, when used in the context of Mineral Reserve determination, means that the qualified
person has determined, using a discounted cash flow analysis, or has otherwise analytically determined, that
extraction of the Mineral Reserve is economically viable under reasonable investment and market assumptions.
Indicated Mineral
Resource
Indicated Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are
estimated on the basis of adequate geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty
associated with an Indicated Mineral Resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors
in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because an
Indicated Mineral Resource has a lower level of confidence than the level of confidence of a Measured Mineral
Resource, an Indicated Mineral Resource may only be converted to a probable Mineral Reserve.
Inferred Mineral
Resource
Inferred Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are
estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological uncertainty
associated with an Inferred Mineral Resource is too high to apply relevant technical and economic factors likely
to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability.
Because an Inferred Mineral Resource has the lowest level of geological confidence of all Mineral Resources,
which prevents the application of the modifying factors in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability,
an Inferred Mineral Resource may not be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project
and may not be converted to a Mineral Reserve.
Kriging
A method of interpolation based on Gaussian process governed by prior covariances. It uses a limited set of
sampled data points to estimate the value of a variable over a continuous spatial field
Mine Call Factor
The ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the total quantity of recovered and unrecovered mineral product after
processing with the amount estimated in the ore based on sampling.
Measured Mineral
Resource
Measured Mineral Resource is that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are
estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty
associated with a Measured Mineral Resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors,
as defined in this section, in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the
economic viability of the deposit. Because a Measured Mineral Resource has a higher level of confidence than
the level of confidence of either an Indicated Mineral Resource or an Inferred Mineral Resource, a Measured
Mineral Resource may be converted to a Proven Mineral Reserve or to a Probable Mineral Reserve.
Mineral Reserve
Mineral Reserve is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of Indicated and Measured Mineral Resources
that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically,
it is the economically mineable part of a Measured or Indicated Mineral Resource, which includes diluting
materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted.
Mineral Resource
Mineral Resource is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in
such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.
A Mineral Resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-
off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and
economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. It is not merely an
inventory of all mineralization drilled or sampled.

Modifying Factors
Modifying factors are the factors that a qualified person must apply to Indicated and Measured Mineral
Resources and then evaluate in order to establish the economic viability of Mineral Reserves. A qualified person
must apply and evaluate modifying factors to convert Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources to Proven and
Probable Mineral Reserves. These factors include but are not restricted to: mining; processing; metallurgical;
infrastructure; economic; marketing; legal; environmental compliance; plans, negotiations, or agreements with
local individuals or groups; and governmental factors. The number, type and specific characteristics of the
modifying factors applied will necessarily be a function of and depend upon the mineral, mine, property, or
project.
Pre-Feasibility
Study
A pre-feasibility study (or preliminary feasibility study) is a comprehensive study of a range of options for the
technical and economic viability of a mineral project that has advanced to a stage where a qualified person has
determined (in the case of underground mining) a preferred mining method, or (in the case of surface mining) a
pit configuration, and in all cases has determined an effective method of mineral processing and an effective
plan to sell the product.
(1) A pre-feasibility study includes a financial analysis based on reasonable assumptions, based on appropriate
testing, about the modifying factors and the evaluation of any other relevant factors that are sufficient for a
qualified person to determine if all or part of the Indicated and Measured Mineral Resources may be
converted to Mineral Reserves at the time of reporting. The financial analysis must have the level of detail
necessary to demonstrate, at the time of reporting, that extraction is economically viable.
(2) A pre-feasibility study is less comprehensive and results in a lower confidence level than a feasibility study. A
pre-feasibility study is more comprehensive and results in a higher confidence level than an initial
assessment.
Probable Mineral
Reserve
Probable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of an Indicated and, in some cases, a Measured
Mineral Resource.
Proven Mineral
Reserve
Proven Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource and can only result
from conversion of a Measured Mineral Resource.
Qualified Person
A qualified person is:
(1) A mineral industry professional with at least five years of relevant experience in the type of mineralization
and type of deposit under consideration and in the specific type of activity that person is undertaking on
behalf of the registrant; and
(2) An eligible member or licensee in good standing of a recognized professional organization at the time the
technical report is prepared. For an organization to be a recognized professional organization, it must:
(i) Be either:
(A) An organization recognized within the mining industry as a reputable professional association; or
(B) A board authorized by U.S. federal, state or foreign statute to regulate professionals in the mining,
geoscience or related field;
(ii) Admit eligible members primarily on the basis of their academic qualifications and experience;
(iii) Establish and require compliance with professional standards of competence and ethics;
(iv) Require or encourage continuing professional development;
(v) Have and apply disciplinary powers, including the power to suspend or expel a member regardless of
where the member practices or resides; and
(vi) Provide a public list of members in good standing.
Tailings
Finely ground rock of low residual value from which valuable minerals have been extracted is discarded and
stored in a designed dam facility.
Tailings Freeboard
The vertical height between the beached tailings against the embankment crest and the crest itself.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
1Executive Summary
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(1)
The QP of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony” or the “Company”) has prepared this
Technical Report Summary (“TRS”) to disclose the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates for the
Company’s Doornkop Mine (“Doornkop” or “Doornkop Mine”). The TRS has been prepared in accordance
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (“SEC”) Regulation S-K 1300, with an effective date as at
30 June 2026. No material changes have occurred between the effective date and the date of signature of
this TRS. 
This TRS updates the TRS filed by Harmony on Doornkop on 31 October 2025, named Exhibit 96.9 Technical
Report Summary of the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves for Doornkop Mine Gauteng Province, South
Africa, which was effective on 30 June 2025. This TRS, effective on 30 June 2026, is prepared to satisfy the
requirement of Item 1302(b)(2)(i) of Regulation S-K. An economic assessment was included, using a detailed
discounted cashflow analysis for the Mineral Reserves, excluding all scheduled Inferred Mineral Resources
which are not reported under Mineral Reserves. No material changes have occurred between the effective
date and the date of signature of this TRS.
Property Description
The Doornkop shaft complex is located south of Krugersdorp, 30km west of Johannesburg, in Gauteng
Province, South Africa. The property lies between Sibanye Stillwater Limited’s (“Sibanye-Stillwater”) Cooke 1
shaft and Durban Roodepoort Deep Limited. Doornkop is a part of Harmony’s West Rand operations and
extends to a maximum depth of approximately 2,100m below surface. Current mining operations extract the
South Reef, with the Mineral Reserves being comprised entirely of this reef. Mineral Resources are comprised
of the South Reef and the Kimberley Reef, and a limited (<0.5%) amount of the Main Reef.
The operation comprises the following mining rights:
•Mining Right GP30/5/1/2/2/09MR, covering a total area of 4,459.25 ha and valid from 7 October 2008
to 6 October 2038.
•Mining Right GP30/5/1/2/2/174MR, covering a portion of the Doornkop mining area and valid from 23
May 2014 to 22 May 2030.
Together, these mining rights provide the legal basis for mining activities at the Doornkop operation.
Ownership
Doornkop is wholly owned by Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited, including the associated mineral
rights. Harmony acquired the operation in January 2000 through its acquisition of Randfontein Estates Gold
Mining Company Limited (REGM).
Geology and Mineralisation
Doornkop is situated on the northwestern margin of the Witwatersrand Basin of South Africa, one of the
most prominent gold provinces in the world. While there are several gold-bearing conglomerate reefs
present within the mining right area, only the Kimberley Reef and South Reef are considered to have
prospects for economic extraction at this stage.
In the West Rand Goldfield, the Kimberley Reefs include a number of different gold-bearing conglomerate
horizons. At Doornkop, it is the Kimberley K9 Reef horizon which comprises the Mineral Resources along with
the South Reef. The K9 Reef rests on an unconformity and is a multi-pulse conglomerate which is divided into
four cycles, each consisting of an upper conglomerate and a lower quartzite.
The South Reef comprises a basal conglomerate unit and a cycle of trough cross-bedded sediments. The
South Reef is dominated by silicate phases such as quartz, carbon (seam and specks), as well as sulphide
phases such as pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. While the upper cycles may carry some gold values, up to
95% of the gold mineralisation is located in the lower cycle.
Both the Kimberley Reef and the South Reef have been subjected to faulting and are intruded by a series of
dykes and sills of various ages that cut across the reefs. The gold mineralisation is interpreted to have
succeeded a period of deep burial, fracturing, and alteration. The gold and other elements are believed to
have precipitated through the reaction of hydrothermal fluids at high temperatures along the reef horizons.
Effective Date: 30 June 2026
Final Report Date: 30 October 2026

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Status of Exploration, Development and Operation
Doornkop has mined a combination of South Reef and Kimberley Reef over the past 30 years. Mining
methods and associated production rates have varied through its history from mechanised to conventional.
Doornkop has, for the past five years on average produced approximately 107 thousand ounces (“koz”) of
gold annually from the South Reef only.
Extensive exploration informs both the South Reef and Kimberley Reef models, and Harmony continues to
conduct underground drilling and channel (chip) sampling on the South Reef. Sampling of underground drill
hole intersections, as well as sampling of established stopes on the reef horizon, inform the updates to the
Mineral Resources. Harmony has budgeted R24 million for infill exploration drilling and R14.7 million for LIB
(Long Incline Boreholes) drilling on the South Reef over the next 12 months.
Doornkop is a well-established mine which operates uninterrupted at a steady state throughout the year.
Mineral Resource Estimate
The narrow-tabular nature of the Kimberley and South Reefs at Doornkop lend themselves to the estimation
of grade and thickness in two-dimensional block models. The estimates are based on a verified electronic
database containing surface drill hole data, as well as underground drilling, mapping, and sampling data
obtained up until December 2025. Gold accumulation and channel widths are estimated using ordinary and
simple macro kriging interpolation methods.
The Mineral Resources were originally prepared, classified and reported according to the South African Code
for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, 2016 edition (“SAMREC,
2016”). For the purposes of this TRS, the Mineral Resources have been classified in accordance with § 
229.1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) (Item 1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) of Regulation S-K). The S-K classification is similar to SAMREC
2016.
The QP responsible for compiling the Mineral Resource estimates is Mr H Chirambadare, Ore Reserve
Manager at Doornkop, who is an employee of Harmony.
The Mineral Resource estimate, exclusive of the reported Mineral Reserves, is summarised in Table 1-1.

Mineral Reserve Estimate
The Mineral Reserves for Doornkop were originally prepared, classified and reported according to SAMREC,
2016. For the purposes of this TRS, the Mineral Reserves have been classified in accordance with § 
229.1302(e)(2) (Item 1302(e)(2) of Regulation S-K). The QP employed the same classification for both cases.
Mineral Reserves are derived from the Mineral Resources, a detailed business plan and the operational mine
planning processes. Mine planning utilises and takes into consideration historical technical parameters
achieved. In addition, Mineral Resource conversion to Mineral Reserves considers Modifying Factors,
dilution, ore losses, minimum mining widths and the planned mine call factor.
The QP responsible for compiling the Mineral Reserve estimates is Mr H Chirambadare, Ore Reserve Manager
at Doornkop, who is an employee of Harmony.
The Mineral Reserve estimate, as at 30 June 2026, is summarised in Table 1-2.

Notes:
1.The Mineral Reserves were originally prepared, classified and reported according to SAMREC, 2016. For the purposes of this TRS, the
Mineral Reserves have been classified in accordance with § 229.1302(e)(2) (Item 1302(e)(2) of Regulation S-K). The QP responsible for
the estimate is Mr  H Chirambadare, who is the Doornkop Ore Reserve Manager, and a Harmony employee.
2.Tonnes, grade, and gold content (oz) are declared as net delivered to the mills.
3.Figures are fully inclusive of all mining dilutions, gold losses and are reported as mill delivered tonnes and head grades. Metallurgical
recovery factors have not been applied to the reserve figures.
4.Gold content is delivered gold content after taking into consideration the modifying factors.
5.Mineral Reserves are reported using a cut-off grade of 500cmg/t determined using a gold price of US$2,915/oz gold.
6.Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences.
The Mineral Reserves are derived entirely from the South Reef Mineral Resources. No Kimberley Reef
Mineral Resources have been converted to Mineral Reserves.
In the QP’s opinion, Doornkop is an established operation, and the Modifying Factors used in the Mineral
Reserve estimate have a reasonable basis and, at a minimum, would satisfy the confidence levels for a Pre-
Feasibility Study.
The declared Mineral Reserves are planned for depletion to generate the Doornkop cash flows. The economic
analysis of the cash flows displays positive discounted NPV results and is deemed both technically and
economically achievable. (See table 19.1)
Capital and Operating Cost Estimates
The capital cost estimates for Doornkop are determined at corporate level, using the business plan as a basis.
The estimated capital costs for Doornkop are reported according to costs associated with ongoing capital
development, major equipment outside the main operating sections which is termed abnormal expenditure
(“AE”), infrastructure development (“Shaft Capital”) and capital associated with Mining Charter compliance
(“MCC”), The capital and operating costs are reported in Rand terms and on a real basis.  These projects are
not considered as major projects, hence no feasibility  or pre-feasibility studies are done prior to the budgets
being submitted for approval. The summary capital cost estimates are shown in Table 1-3.
The operating cost estimates for Doornkop are categorised into direct and total costs. A summary of the
Doornkop operating cost estimate is presented in Table 1-4.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Conclusions
In the QP’s opinion, Doornkop Mine, a 100% owned Harmony asset, is located in a well-established mining
district which has been operating since the 1930s. The mine is accessible via national and provincial roads,
with well-established infrastructure. Management has a sound understanding of legal and environmental
matters with respect to operating within the South African mining law, as regulated by the MPRDA, and
supporting legislation.
Doornkop hosts a significant gold-bearing Mineral Resource. The interpretation of the regional geological
setting, mineralization and ore body deposit is well understood and provides valuable insight to the gold
mining operations. The mining methods used to extract the Mineral Reserves is of sound design and has
evolved over the history of the operations.
The economics for Doornkop Mine display positive discounted cash flows, based on detailed operating and
capital costs. The valuation of the asset is proven to be most sensitive to the gold price. The assumptions and
conclusions in this TRS contain the views of the QP. At the time of compilation, the QP has not identified any
material risks other than those disclosed and discussed elsewhere in this TRS.
Doornkop Mine did not incur any fines or penalties for non-compliance during the year ended June 30, 2026
and no significant encumbrances exist.
Recommendations
In the QP's opinion, to further de-risk the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves ahead of mining, the active
long inclined borehole (“LIB”) drilling campaign should be continued. Additional exploration should be
undertaken to investigate the continuation of high-grade pay shoots within the South Reef, as anticipated
through historical literature and mining results.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
3Property Description
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(3) (i-vii)
Doornkop is an underground gold mine located in the West Wits mining district southwest of Johannesburg,
in the Gauteng Province. At longitude 27°47'26.55"E and latitude 26°13'03.2"S, the mine is approximately
30km from Johannesburg and forms part of Harmony's West Rand (“West Wits”) operations. The location of
Doornkop and its relative proximity to the other West Wits operations is shown in Figure 3-1.
3.1Mineral Tenure
South African Mining Law is regulated by the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act,2008
(“MPRDA”) which is the predominant piece of legislation dealing with acquisitions or rights to conduct
reconnaissance, prospecting, and mining. There are several other pieces of legislation which deal with such
ancillary issues such as royalties (MPRDA), title registration (Mining Titles Registration Act, 1967), and health
and safety (Mine Health and Safety Act, 1996).
The current mining right is held by REGM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Harmony. The right encompasses an
area of 4,459.25ha and was successfully converted, executed and registered as a new order mining right at
the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Titles Office. As such, it is secured under Mining Authorisation number
ML 13/97. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy reference GP30/5/1/2/2/09MR and
GP30/5/1/2/2/174MR were issued for a period of 30 years expiring on 6 October 2038 and 22 May 2030
respectively, and Harmony has the exclusive right to renew the rights. The summary of mineral tenure and
the approved mining area (also referred to as the mining lease area) is shown in Table 3-1 and Figure 3-2.

provincial road (Figure 3-1). Access to the mine is restricted by security fencing, security guards, booms and
lockable gates at the main entrance. In addition, a communication system and access control system
monitors personnel entering and leaving the mine property.
4.2Physiology and Climate
Doornkop is located within the Highveld region of South Africa. The general elevation across of the lease area
varies from 1,600m to 1,780m above sea level (“amsl”), gently sloping to the southwest. The surrounding
area is characterised by undulating plains interspersed by rocky outcrops. Mining activities in the area have
altered the natural topography of the area with the presence of old tailings dams and waste rock dumps.
The mine is situated within the Highveld climatic zone which is characterised by warm wet summers and cool
to cold dry winters. The average annual rainfall recorded at the operation (2015 – 2018) was 698mm. Most of
the rainfall occurs as heavy thunderstorms resulting in erosion and runoff. These typically occur between
November and February. Temperature patterns are characterised by seasonal and daily variations, where
summers are warm to hot and winters are mild to cold. The seasonal fluctuations in mean temperatures
between the warmest and the coldest months varies between 12°C and 15°C.
The Doornkop operation is not restricted by climatic or seasonal occurrences.
4.3Local Resources and Infrastructure
Infrastructure in the region is well established supporting the numerous operational gold mines in the area.
The regional infrastructure includes national and provincial paved road networks, power transmission and
distribution networks, water supply networks and communication infrastructure. Doornkop’s surface and
underground infrastructure, including its power and water supplies, is sufficient for the current and planned
production level requirements. Areas that require expansion or upgrading will be attended to, e.g., a
refrigeration plant is planned to ensure that adequate ventilation is supplied to the mine over life of mine.
Doornkop’s main and vent shaft systems are currently exploiting the South Reef to approximately 2,000m
below surface. The narrow South Reef is exploited by means of conventional stoping. The ore mined at
Doornkop is processed at the mine’s carbon-in-pulp (“CIP”) plant, which is located adjacent to the shaft.
Operations are powered by electricity from Eskom Holdings Limited State-Owned Company (“SOC”).
Mine personnel are sourced from the surrounding towns of Krugersdorp, Randfontein and Johannesburg.
More detailed information on Doornkop’s infrastructure is presented in Section 15.

5History
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(5) (i-ii)
5.1Historical Ownership and Development
Although exploration in the Doornkop area dates back to the early 1930s, and multiple phases of exploration
and mining activities have taken place in the intervening years, the sinking of the Main and Ventilation Shafts
at Doornkop only commenced in 1983. At the time, Doornkop was owned by Johannesburg Consolidated
Industries Limited (“JCI”).
It was initially planned to mine both the Kimberley and the South reefs. However, a decision was then taken
by JCI to target the shallower Kimberley Reef only, mining it by mechanised methods. In addition, the
deepening of the Main Shaft required to access to the South Reef was deferred. During 1989, the planned
production rates from the Kimberley Reefs were achieved, but the anticipated grades were not recovered.
Adverse geological structures were encountered, and the decrease in grades were attributed to difficulties
associated with the mechanised mining methods resulting in dilution.
A review of the operation was undertaken in 1991, and the mining approach was changed to a more selective
mining cut, targeting higher grade areas of Kimberley Reef only. In 1999, the deepening project was stopped,
as a result of the low prevailing gold prices. The sub-vertical shaft sinking had been completed with the shaft
bottom at 1,953m below surface. The deepening of the Main Shaft stopped at 1,340m below surface.
Harmony acquired Doornkop when they took over control of the Randfontein Estates Gold Mining Company
(REGM) in early 2000. Harmony continued mining the Kimberley Reef using mechanised mining methods, but
revisited the work done toward extracting the South Reef. The mining method for the Kimberley Reef was
subsequently changed to the conventional stoping approach, in order to extract a reduced tonnage at an
improved grade.
The historical ownership and associated activities related to Doornkop are summarised in Table 5-1.

5.2Historical Exploration
As previously noted, exploration has been undertaken in the Doornkop area since the 1930s.
A total of eighteen surface drill holes were initially drilled over the area and of these, thirteen drill holes
provided useful information for evaluation purposes. In addition, three intersections drilled from the
Kimberley Reef workings, and three intersections drilled on the adjoining Durban Roodepoort Deep area
showed the South Reef to contain economic concentrations of gold.
Since the commissioning of Doornkop in the 1980s, JCI and subsequently Harmony have continued on-mine
exploration work, in the form of geophysics, surface drilling, underground drilling and sampling. As the
results of these exploration efforts continue to inform the Mineral Resource estimates, they are described in
Section 7 of this report.

6Geological Setting, Mineralisation and Deposit
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(6) (i-iii)
6.1Regional Geology
Doornkop is located on the northwestern margin of the Archaean Witwatersrand Basin, one of the largest
gold provinces in the world. The Witwatersrand Basin is an approximately 7,000m thick terrigenous sequence
comprising mainly arenaceous and argillaceous, together with minor rudaceous, lithologies deposited in a
fluvio-deltaic environment in the centre of the Archaean Kaapvaal Craton of South Africa (Robb and Meyer,
1995). The regional geology of the Witwatersrand Basin is shown in Figure 6-1.
The Witwatersrand Basin hosts the Witwatersrand Supergroup, which either conformably or unconformably
overlies the metamorphosed volcanic and minor clastic sediments of the Dominion Group (Tucker et al.,
2016). The Dominion Group overlies the older granite-greenstone basement.
The majority of the Witwatersrand Supergroup is capped by the volcano-sedimentary sequence of the
Ventersdorp Supergroup through an angular unconformity. The Ventersdorp Supergroup is in turn overlain
by the dolomitic and quarzitic sequence of the Transvaal Supergroup, and sediments of the Karoo
Supergroup (Tucker et al., 2016). Several suites of dykes and sills cut across the Archaean basement and the
Witwatersrand, Ventersdorp, Transvaal and Karoo supergroups, and form important geological time-markers.
The Witwatersrand Supergroup is subdivided into the basal West Rand Group (“WRG”) and overlying Central
Rand Group (“CRG”) (Robb and Robb, 1998). The WRG extends over an area of 43,000km2 and is up to
5,150m thick. It is sub-divided in three subgroups, namely, from bottom upwards, the Hospital Hill Subgroup;
Government Subgroup and Jeppestown Subgroup. The stratigraphic succession of the WRG mainly consists of
shale sediments, with occasional units of banded iron formation and conglomerate. The CRG is up to 2,880m
thick and covers an area of up to 9,750km2, with a basal extent of approximately 290km x 150km. It is sub-
divided into the lower Johannesburg Subgroup and upper Turffontein Subgroup (Figure 6-2). These
subgroups are separated by the Booysens Shale Formation. The stratigraphic succession of the CRG
comprises coarse-grained fluvio-deltaic sedimentary rocks.
The major gold bearing conglomerates are mostly confined to the CRG, and these conglomerate horizons are
known as reefs. The most important reefs within the CRG are at six stratigraphic positions, three within the
Johannesburg Sub-group and three within the Turffontein Sub-group. The reefs are mined in seven major
goldfields, and a few smaller occurrences, which extend for over 400km in what has been called “The Golden
Arc”. This arc is centred on the prominent Vredefort Dome (Figure 6-1), which is thought to be a major
meteorite impact site in the centre of the Witwatersrand Basin (Therriault et al., 1997). The goldfields (Figure
6-1) include: East Rand, South Rand, Central Rand, West Rand, West Wits, Klerksdorp, Free State (Welkom),
and Evander.
6.2Local Geology
Doornkop is located within the West Wits Goldfield (Figure 6-1). The general orientation of the
Witwatersrand Supergroup succession in this goldfield is interpreted as west-southwest-trending and south-
southeast dipping (Dankert and Hein, 2010).
The Doornkop lease area is bounded by and lies to the southeast of the major north-easterly striking
Roodepoort Fault, which dips to the south and constitutes the southern edge of the Witpoortjie Horst Block
or Gap. This Horst Block is comprised of stratigraphically older sediments of the West Rand Group, the
overlying Central Rand Group sediments having been removed by erosion. A number of other faults,
including the Saxon Fault, also constitute conspicuous structural breaks in the Doornkop lease area.
Doornkop’s previous production, current production and current Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
are derived from the South Reef, and the Kimberley Reefs (not mined currently). These reefs are tabular,
inclined, gold-hosting horizons located within the Johannesburg Subgroup and the Turfontein Subgroup of
the CRG respectively, as shown in Figure 6-2. A simplified stratigraphy for the West Rand Goldfield is
presented in Figure 6-3.

Nearly the entire upper Witwatersrand section is present in the area and therefore all the major zones are present, though due to the distance of the area from the fan
head, the conglomerates, number of economic bands and their payability is limited. Eight of the well-known reefs are present in the area, but only the Kimberley Reef and
South Reef are considered viable at this stage with some recent Main Reef potential due to development and drill hole intersection values. A cross section illustrating the
major zones in the area is provided in Figure 6-4.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
6.3 Property Geology
The main economic reefs at Doornkop comprise the K9 and K8 (both Kimberley Reefs) and the South Reef,
which occur at depths ranging from 860m to 2,040m below surface. The general strike of the reef is east-
west, and the dip varies from 10° to 20°. The ore body at Doornkop is contained in an area of about 4km by
4km and the mine is divided into a west side and an east side. As illustrated in Figure 6-3 and Figure 6-4, the
South Reef lies 800-900m stratigraphically deeper than the lowest of the Kimberley Reefs.
6.3.1Kimberley Reefs Lithology
In the West Rand Goldfield, the Kimberley Reefs include a number of different conglomerate horizons, many
of which contain gold mineralisation. At Doornkop the K9 Reef horizon, which was mined prior to 2014,
comprises the Mineral Resources.
The K9 Reef rests on an unconformity and is a complex multi-pulse conglomerate which is divided into four
cycles (Cycle 1 to 4), each of which consists of an upper conglomerate and a lower quartzite.
6.3.2South Reef Lithology
The South Reef unit typically comprises a basal lag unit, which is overlain by a series of trough cross-bedded
cycles of quartzites. The basal lag unit is not universally preserved. The South Reef is considered to
commence at the base of the first conglomerate band and includes internal waste and one conglomerate
band above the basal band (“Leader 1”).
The lag unit thickness varies from 1.5cm to 8.0cm, where the lower thickness is typically just a pebble lag and
the higher thicknesses, a well- to moderately-packed conglomerate band. The grading reef package is
generally upward fining. The footwall rocks are cleaner, trough cross-bedded quartzites, with little variation
between cycles and exercise no meaningful control over the sedimentation process of the South Reef.
6.3.3Structure
Shallow folding, contemporaneous with the deposition of the Witwatersrand sediments, is interpreted to
have caused low profile domes and basins and  to have resulted in the reefs having uneven footwall surfaces.
The mine is bounded on the northwest by major faults, striking in a generally north-east to south-west
direction, referred to as the Roodepoort or Saxon fault system. A second fault system, called the Doornkop
fault, which runs from east to west, sub-divides Doornkop into two mining entities. The structural geology
plan for the South Reef is presented in Figure 6-5.
6.4Mineralisation
Gold mineralisation in the Witwatersrand is believed to have followed an episode of deep burial, fracturing
and alteration. A variant of Archean gold-bearing hydrothermal fluid was introduced into the conglomerates
and circulated throughout in hydrothermal cells. The fluids precipitated gold and other elements through
reactions that took place at elevated temperatures along the reef horizons, which was the more favourable
fluid conduit.
6.4.1Kimberley Reef Mineralisation
Pyrite heavy mineral concentrations occur as laminae in cross-bedded foresets, and nodular pyrite may be
concentrated within the basal lag conglomerate. Gold is typically found in association with silver, uranium
and buckshot pyrite.

re_figure6-5.jpg
6.4.2South Reef Mineralisation
The South Reef is dominated by silicate phases such as quartz, carbon (seam and specks), as well as sulphide
phases such as pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. While the upper cycles may carry some gold values, up to
95% of the gold present is located in the basal conglomerate unit. Gold is typically found in association with
brannerite (uranium) and carbon, either in seams or flyspeck.
6.4.3Alteration
Although alteration is evident in the Kimberley Reef and South Reef, alteration does not form an important
part of the identification, modelling or mining of the reefs at Doornkop.
6.5Deposit Type
The deposit is classed as a tabular meta-sedimentary gold deposit. Folding and basin edge faulting have been
important controls for sediment deposition and gold distribution patterns within the Witwatersrand Basin
and fold trends have been employed in the economic evaluation of various reef horizons.
6.6Commentary on Geological Setting, Mineralisation and Deposit
The geological setting, mineralisation model and deposit types are well established at Doornkop, as a result
of continuous exploration and mining activities over several decades. These geological interpretations and
models form the basis of the Mineral Resources estimates for the South and Kimberley Reefs.

7Exploration
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(7) (i-vi)
Exploration at Doornkop has been focused on improving confidence in the geological model, as well as
adding and upgrading additional Mineral Resources to the mine as existing Mineral Resources are depleted
through mining. Over the years, geological data has been obtained through surface drilling, underground
drilling, underground channel (chip) sampling and geological mapping.
7.1Geophysical Survey
The interpretation of the current Mineral Resources is assisted by the regional aeromagnetic survey by the
Council of Geosciences, as well as a seismic survey in 2017 by GAP Geophysics. These surveys assist in the
identification of large scale structures and stratigraphy.
7.2Topographical Survey
As an underground operation, topographic surveys are not required.
7.3Underground Mapping
Extensive face mapping is undertaken at Doornkop, as a form of grade control, and in order to inform
updates to the geological model.
Face and reef development mapping is undertaken by a team comprising two or more personnel, including a
geologist or sampler. Reference tapes are setup along gullies and the stope face, orientated with reference to
the latest survey pegs to have been installed in the workplaces. The reef position, lithological descriptions,
the presence of faults or dykes, and other pertinent geological information is collected and measured relative
to the reference tapes.
Once at surface, the geologist transfers the information from the notebook into the geological mapping
system, where a mapping report is produced for each mapped workplace. The mapping reports depict the
geological information graphically relative to the survey measurement points. Data from the mapping is also
incorporated into the geological models.
Approximately 80-90% of all workplaces are inspected by a Senior Geologist on a monthly basis to ensure
that suitable mapping information coverage is achieved.
7.4Channel Sampling Methods and Results
Channel sampling of underground panels takes place on a monthly basis, in order to provide grade, channel
width and facies information, which is used for grade control, and in Mineral Resource estimates.
7.4.1Channel Sample Collection Method
Sampling of the South Reef channel are undertaken at the advancing face on a grid spacing of 4m x 6m.
Channel sampling is undertaken according to the Doornkop Underground Sampling Procedure.
Channel sampling is undertaken by a team including a sampler, and several assistants. Samples are chipped
from the advancing face from within clearly measured and marked channel sections. Samples are manually
chipped from the rock face using a geological hammer and chisel, perpendicular to the channel contact
exposed in the face, including 2cm from both the hanging- and footwall. The chips are caught in a collection
tray and transferred to sample bags that contain unique sequential labels. A check sample is taken on the
reef horizon to ensure sample repeatability. The sample tray is cleaned between sample sections to ensure
no contamination is encountered. When the samples are sent to the laboratory, each batch contains a set of
certified reference material to validate the sample results.
7.4.2Results
The location of the Kimberley Reef channel samples to 2014 are presented in Figure 7-1. No further channel
sampling has taken place on the Kimberley Reef since 2014 due to closing of Top Mine (Kimberly Reef), as it
was unprofitable. The current Kimberly Reef Mineral Resource declaration is therefore based on the 2014
model and a part declaration of the total Mineral Resource base. The channel sample data indicates that the

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
economic K9 cycle has a width ranging from 2cm to 181cm and gold accumulation ranging up to 11386cmg/t
with a mean of 1260cmg/t.
The location of samples collected from the South Reefs, by year, are presented in Figure 7-2. The reader
should note from Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2 that the channel sampling results are too numerous to provide in
a tabulated format. The results have, however, been included into the geological modelling and Mineral
Resource estimation process.
7.5Surface Drilling Campaigns, Procedures, Sampling, Recoveries and Results
Surface exploration drilling has taken place over several different campaigns since exploration was initially
undertaken in the 1930s. Surface drilling provides widely spaced initial grade and channel width information,
upon which mine development decision are based. The location of the surface drill holes is indicated on
Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4 for each of the reefs.
7.5.1Drilling Methods
Diamond core drilling was used for all surface drill holes. Surface diamond core drilling has been undertaken
using a thin-walled core barrel (TNW size core barrel) that delivers NQ (47.6mm) core. The holes are drilled
vertically, and a single mother hole is drilled with multiple deflection holes drilled for some of the holes.
Collar surveys as well as in hole surveys were conducted to ensure the reef intersections were spatially
correct. Stick ups are used as part of the standard procedure to ensure the correct depth demarcations when
placing the core into the core trays to facilitate accurate core logging. 
7.5.2Collar and Downhole Surveys
Drill hole collar and downhole surveys are conducted on all surface drill holes to confirm both position and
trajectory. Surface drill hole collars are surveyed by Doornkop’s Land Survey Department.
Downhole surveying is conducted using Electronic Multishot System and non-magnetic north seeking tools as
supplied by Digital Surveying (Pty) Limited. Additional check surveys are conducted on most long exploration
drill holes for QAQC purposes, and the results are submitted together with the primary survey data used to
determine the drill hole trajectories. The in run and out run of the survey are compared on both dip and
bearing, and can have a maximum deviation of 8% for the survey to be deemed valid.
7.5.3Logging Procedure
The drill cores are photographed prior to logging and sampling.
The entire core is transported to the storage facility at the Doornkop core yard under the supervision of a
Senior Geologist. Upon arrival, the core is logged, using Harmony’s standard logging procedures, which have
been applied since Harmony started operating Doornkop.
Drill core logging is quantitative and qualitative. The following information is recorded:
•lithology;
•packing density;
•roundness;
•sorting;
•contact type, grain/pebble size;
•sediment maturity; and
•mineralisation; and alteration.
Observations are captured on the diamond drilling database by geologists. The logs are checked by the Senior
Geologist prior to sampling.
7.5.4Drilling Results
The Kimberley Reef and South Reef geological stratigraphic interpretations were originally  informed by
surface drilling campaigns which date back over several decades and having been drilled by various
companies. A summary of the drilling is provided in Table 7-1. No further surface drilling has been done on
the Kimberley Reefs since the closure of the Top Mine, restricting accessibility to drilling platforms.

With over 240 drill holes having been drilled since 1937, the results are too voluminous to be reported in this
report, however, the results of the Harmony drilling have been included into the geological modelling
process. The surface borehole sample data indicates that the South Reef has a width ranging from 3cm to
75cm and gold accumulation ranging up to 3290cmg/t with a mean of 1203cmg/t.
The location of the surface drill holes intersecting the Kimberley Reef are shown on Figure 7-3, whilst the
location of the surface drill holes intersecting the South Reef are shown on Figure 7-4.
7.5.5Core Recovery
Where possible, precautions are taken by the drilling contractors to ensure maximum core recovery. Reef
intersection acceptability is categorised as per the criteria summarised in Table 7-2. Geological acceptability
of drill hole intersections is determined by geologists based on, amongst others, drill core condition and
faulting.
Table 7-2: Drill Hole Acceptance Criteria
Category
Comment
Acceptable
100% core recovery in the reef zone, or very minor loss due to reef chipping. No evidence of faulting
within the reef horizon or at either contact with hanging wall or footwall lithologies.
Minimum value
Light to moderate disking of core in the core barrel due to drilling and/or ground conditions. Visual
observations indicate that the conglomerate portion of the reef is usually more prone to disking,
resulting in possible gold loss.
Faulted
minimum value
If the fault loss is considered to be minor, this term may be used if the geologist is certain that only
low-value internal quartzite is missing from the intersection.
Not acceptable
Heavy disking of core which may indicate core loss, partial known core loss due to grinding. Also
faulting of any description within the reef zone.
Reef intersections are not used for the estimation process due to the reef being deposited on a carbonaceous
unconformity. The basal contact of the reef is friable and often ground out making the majority of reef
intersections unacceptable for the estimation process.  Due to the poor core recovery over the reef
intersections, underground drilling and LIB drilling is only used for facies correlations and structural
interpretations of the reef.

7.6Underground Drilling Campaigns, Procedures, Sampling, Recoveries and Results
Underground exploration drilling is a continuous process which would have been in place since the operation
commenced. The underground drilling provides geological information, which is used for the Mineral
Resource estimates, as well as for mine planning purposes. The exploration strategy adopted to address the
geological structure and reef locations at Doornkop includes the following:
•definition drilling aiming for a 100m to 200m drilling grid for optimal placement of primary haulage
and cross-cut development; and
•infill drilling from haulages and crosscuts at a 100m to 50m drilling spacing is used for placement of
secondary development and understanding reef existence and quality.
More drilling may be required in more complex areas and areas beyond the 200m drill spacing where
geological definition is limited.

7.6.1Drilling Methods
Diamond core drilling was used for all underground drill holes. Diamond core drilling has been undertaken
using hydraulic and pneumatic drill rigs. The core sizes for reef intersections include the following:
•electro hydraulic drilling - AXT (35.51mm); and
•hydraulic drilling- BX (42mm) or BQ (36.5mm).
Drilling can be undertaken in any orientation, depending on the position of the reef relative to the drilling
location, however the drill holes are typically planned to intersect orthogonal to the mineralisation and the
thickness is corrected for the true width prior to being used for Mineral Resource estimation. To ensure the
best possible reef intersection, the drill bit is inspected to ensure the cutting bit is exposed at the expected
reef depth. The drilling is also slowed down at the expected reef intersection to ensure minimal core loss
over the reef cut. Core is then extracted from the rods and placed into core trays with depth markers to
ensure the correct core sequence for logging.
7.6.2Collar and Downhole Surveys
Underground drill hole collars are checked against layouts issued to diamond drilling contractors and
confirmed by offsets taken underground in the workplaces.
Downhole surveying is conducted using Electronic Multishot System and non-magnetic north seeking tools as
supplied by Digital Surveying (Pty) Limited. Additional surveys are conducted on most long exploration drill
holes for QAQC purposes, and the results are submitted together with the primary survey data used to
determine the drill hole trajectories.

7.6.3Logging Procedure
The drill cores are also photographed prior to logging and sampling.
Harmony’s standard logging procedures are used, which have been in place since Harmony started operating
Doornkop.
Drill core logging is quantitative and qualitative. The following information is recorded:
•lithology;
•packing density;
•roundness;
•sorting;
•contact type, grain/pebble size;
•sediment maturity; and
•mineralisation; and alteration.
Observations are captured on the diamond drilling database by geologists. The logs are checked by the Senior
Geologist prior to sampling.
7.6.4Drilling Results
Underground drilling has resulted in 356 intersections of Kimberley Reef and 1182 intersections of South Reef
(Table 7-3). The location of the underground drill holes intersecting the Kimberley and South reefs are
identified in Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6, respectively.

While these drill holes are used for structural and facies interpretation, none have been used in estimating
the South Reef grades, as a result of discing on the reef intersections due to the basal, carbonaceous
unconformity over a thin reef. No underground drilling has been done on the Kimberley Reef since 2014, due
to the closure of the Top Mine, as it was unprofitable.
7.6.5Core Recovery
The core recovery acceptance criteria used for underground drill holes is the same as those applied to surface
drill holes (Table 7-2).
The overall core recovery is typically acceptable however, due to the reef intersections being on a
carbonaceous unconformity the basal contact is often lost through the drilling process. Due to this core loss, 
the core is only used for geological modelling purposes and not in the estimation process.
7.6.6Sample Length and True Thickness
In areas where drill holes intersect the orebodies at obtuse angles, the sampled width is corrected for true
thickness using the angle of intersection and the drilled width. The true thickness is used to determine the

7.7Hydrogeology
Three dewatering wells have been drilled around the shaft collar, one being a replacement well drilled in
2021. Subsequent to the replacement well being drilled, a geohydrological assessment of the groundwater
ingress into Doornkop Mine was conducted. The aim of this assessment was to better understand the origin
of the water ingress as well as the flow mechanisms of groundwater in the mine.
To assist with identifying the origin of the water ingress,  8 underground water samples were collected from
geological prospect boreholes and sent for a hydrochemical analysis at Waterlab, a SANAS accredited
laboratory. The samples were analysed for inorganic constituents and plotted on a Piper diagram.  From the
analysis, most of the samples were alkaline with no sign of acid mine drainage and were of a relatively good
quality, well within the SANS 241 guideline limits for drinking water (van Biljon, M. 2023).
From the study, it was concluded that three potential sources of water may be responsible for the water
ingress, namely a perched weathered and fractured rock aquifer in the Ventersdorp strata, the Zuurbekom
dolomitic aquifer and an artificial aquifer created by mining, from the flooded adjacent mine workings. Four
major fault structures, including the Roodepoort, Saxon, Chevron and Doornkop Faults are all considered to
be groundwater conduits. The majority of current groundwater ingress appears to be associated with NE-SW
striking faults or dykes and all NE-SW striking faults should be considered open and potential groundwater
conduits. It is however not only the major structures but also the smaller associated features.
7.8Geotechnical Data
Geotechnical issues related to underground workings are discussed in more detail in the Mining and Mine
Design sections (Section 13.2). Geological exploration drilling is not typically used to gather geotechnical
data. These data are gathered independently by the geotechnical engineer.
Numerical modelling is done using rock mass characteristics from geological core samples, to determine the
rock wall condition factor and average pillar stress. A point load test machine is used to conduct point load
tests of random rock samples, correlating it with core testing results. Applying the geotechnical properties
obtained improves back analysis of seismic events and building a more comprehensive geotechnical model of
the mine. Quality assurance is enhanced by using expert external service providers where applicable.
A seismic network is utilized at Doornkop to monitor seismicity. The network consists of 22 component
geophones installed across the mine and two regional seismic sites. The digital seismic data is transmitted
from the seismic underground stations to the surface seismic server (RTS) via the mines Hirschman switches
and through ADSL, the Ethernet (LAN) based infrastructure available on the mine. Automatic and manual
processing of the recorded seismic data is done by the Institute of Mine Seismology. At Harmony, seismic
monitoring is intended to detect and locate seismic events and support the management of seismic risk. The
seismic network is planned to a horizontal accuracy within 25 to 50 m with a network sensitivity of (Mmin) –
0.0 to 0.5. The seismic monitoring system is designed to provide information to the rock engineering
practitioner and production officials on a daily and monthly basis. Daily, seismic plots are produced to
indicate the existence of “high seismic deformation” areas.
7.9Commentary on Exploration
Surface drilling was used as the initial exploration drilling, and this was later infilled to provide sufficient
detail for geological modelling and Mineral Resource estimation. The underground infill drilling system is in
place to improve data density in specific areas and are drilled from the underground development access
drives.
Since 2014, Top Mine on the Kimberley Reef horizon has been closed and no subsequent underground
drilling has taken place.
Drilling and logging practices are based on industry best practice and the Harmony company standards, which
have been in place since Harmony took over Doornkop.
The QP is of the opinion that the quality and quantity of the exploration methods and information gathered
are sufficient to support the estimation of Mineral Resources..

8Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(8) (i-v)
This section summarises information relating to the sampling method and preparation on site through to the
laboratory preparation and analysis.
8.1Sampling Method and Approach
Sampling is carried out in accordance with the Harmony’s internal sampling procedure guidelines, which have
been in place since Harmony started operating Doornkop.
8.1.1Channel Samples
Sampling is undertaken by a sampler, assisted by a sampling crew. Samples are chipped from the advancing
face from within clearly measured and marked channel sections. The chips are collected in a sample bag.
Samples are weighed, labelled according to a unique sampling number, and submitted to the assay
laboratory, together with the required blanks and standards.
An adequate (±300g) mass of each sample is collected to allow sufficient sized aliquots to be analysed at the
designated laboratory.
8.1.2Core Samples
All underground and surface core is sampled according to the Harmony Drill hole Sampling Procedure.
Sampling is undertaken by a Senior Geologist at the core storage facility.
Where possible the full channel width (reef) intersected in each drill hole is split longitudinally using a
diamond drill core cutter. One half core is bagged, sealed and labelled with a unique sampling number. The
remaining half core is kept in the core tray for reference purposes. A minimum 10cm to 15cm sample is
required by the laboratory for assay purposes, depending on core diameter. If the core condition is such that
a successful cut cannot be achieved, then the whole core is submitted for assay.
Pertinent data captured during sampling includes channel width (cm) and a detailed visual description of the
reef, including colour, matrix grain size, pebble size etc. The data is recorded in the drill hole database
together with the unique sample number, collection date and spatial location.
All samples are assessed for acceptability, based on core recovery and the preservation of the basal carbon
seam and are then signed-off by the Senior Geologist for completeness and auditability, prior to laboratory
dispatch.
8.2Density Determination
Density measurements were undertaken using both Archimedes water displacement method and a
laboratory-based pycnometer method. A density of 2.77t/m3 obtained from the laboratory pycnometer is
utilised  for tonnage calculations, which is based on 1,308 samples taken from the run-of-mine conveyor belt.
The pycnometer measurement is used  as the internal volume of a solid is  accounted for and obtains a more
representative value.
8.3Sample Security
All cores are transported to the secure core yard for logging and sampling.
Samples are stored in a secure facility and can only be transported by a permit holder for transporting gold
bearing material. Waybills and registers are checked and signed off by security. The samples are received
from the mine in locked containers with seals. The sample labels are scanned at the designated laboratory
and the batches compared to the submitted sample sheets. The scanned bar codes are kept at the laboratory
and compared to the work sheets that are automatically created on the system. Sample lists submitted by
the mine are used to compare what is received at the laboratory.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
8.4Laboratory Sample Preparation
Since the inception of Doornkop Mine, all samples have been  sent to the external SGS South Africa (Pty)
Limited laboratory (“SGS”) in Randfontein for preparation and assay. The laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025:2017
certified for chemical analysis by the South African National Accreditation System (“SANAS”) (SANAS No.
T0265).
Upon receipt, the samples are dried, crushed, and milled to the appropriate size. Routine screen tests on
pulps by the assay laboratory are used to check comminution of samples to contract specification. The
contract specification is that the comminution should be 90% to 95% passing 75µm.
The grind should not be less than 90% passing 75µm nor should it be more than 95% passing 75µm. If the
grind is less than 90% passing 75µm (under milled), not all the gold will be liberated. If more than 95%
passing 75µm (over milled), the risk is run of smearing and rolling the gold particles (adversely affecting the
Au assay/value obtained). This standard is applicable to all gold assay methods.
The total percentage mass loss on each sample should not exceed 2%.
8.5Assaying Methods and Analytical Procedures
Analysis of gold and uranium is undertaken at the SGS laboratory using the following analytical techniques:
•Fire assay with a gravimetric finish is used for all reef, waste, dump, drill-hole samples and
underground chip samples, with a lower detection limit of 0.2 g/t; and
•X-ray diffraction (“XRD”) analysis for uranium. (No sample were analysed for uranium).
All pulps of exploration drill hole intersections and underground chip sample pulps are kept for three months
and then discarded.
8.6Sampling and Assay Quality Control (“QC”) Procedures and Quality Assurance (“QA”)
Routine quality control measures are undertaken to check the precision and accuracy of analytical methods
used by the laboratories. The checks involve regularly inserting blanks, duplicates and gold standards into all
batches of samples dispatched to the laboratory for analyses. The current analytical laboratories used for
sample analysis also have several internal QAQC protocols in place.
8.6.1Field QAQC
Harmony inserts blanks, certified reference material ("CRM") or blank obtained from African Mineral
Standards (“AMIS”) and duplicates into their sample stream. The number of QAQC samples inserted by
Doornkop for the January 2025 to December 2025 sampling period is presented in Table 8-1.

Out of a total of 47,043 samples analysed, 1714 were QA/QC samples while 45,329 were primary samples.
Blank samples were submitted to monitor the possible contamination in the fusion process stage of the
analysis at the laboratory. High- and low-grade CRMs are inserted to monitor the accuracy of the analytical
methods. This ensures that the full range of gold categories is covered.
Duplicate samples were submitted to monitor precision of the analytical methods. Pulverized primary
samples are also selected at random and re-assayed.
Monthly Process Compliance Reports were compiled as part of the quality control on the sampling process.
Standard formats are used and recorded for audit purposes. Process Compliance Reports on the Samplers are
also compiled in order to check the quality of the sampling. These observations are made weekly and are also
kept on record for audit purposes. All historical data has been subjected to similar QA/QC processes and has
been included in the data set.
8.6.2Laboratory QAQC
The laboratory's QAQC procedures include the following:
•repeat assays on samples from the mine; and
•regular audits of the laboratory processes and facility are conducted by mine personnel and regional
experts to monitor compliance.
All audit reports compiled are assessed for remedial action by the responsible persons before next review.
Monthly laboratory meetings are held with the Doornkop representatives to discuss concerns over the
specific periods.
8.6.3Results
The QA/QC results are assessed to monitor the quality of the assaying and analytical procedures undertaken
by SGS, in order to ensure the accuracy of the laboratory assay data and ensure a high-level of confidence in
the Mineral Resource estimate.
If results of any of the CRM samples fall outside two standard deviations of the expected value for that
particular CRM, they are deemed to have failed (i.e., they plot outside the acceptable tolerance limit).
Portions of the batches that fail this criterion are queried with the laboratory and those samples are re-
assayed.
The degree of bias is also monitored by comparing the calculated mean value to the expected value.
Consistent failure of a standard and the bias to the low or high side of a standard are cause for concern and
acted on as soon as a trend is observed. All concerns are addressed with the laboratory directly. The results
of the Doornkop quality control samples are summarised in Table 8-2 and Table 8-3, respectively.

9Data verification
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(9) (i-iii)
The Doornkop drill hole data is stored in DatamineTM Fusion Client database. This database is protected
through administration rights allocated to an authorized administrator. The backup process is managed by
the Harmony IT Department and comprises a full backup of the SQL server database (HGMTSP303) daily, with
21 days stored on disk, along with a full backup to tape every month, which is stored at a third-party data
storage location.
Chip sampling data was historically captured using GMSITM system. Since June 2025, all underground channel
sampling data has been captured in the MineWare Syncromine Sampling system, which serves as the current
platform for sampling data management and storage.
9.1Data Verification Procedures
Once the assay results are returned to the Senior Geologist, the Senior Geologist updates the calculations of
the evaluation cuts and thicknesses, which are then stored in Fusion Client.
The steps followed are:
•the drill hole data gets checked against the original logs by the senior geologist before he inputs the
values into the Microsoft Excel-based database;
•duplicate checking – duplicate samples can easily be introduced to the sampling database through
digitising the same samples from adjacent assay tracings, duplication of data inputs in the electronic
sampling system or incorrect projections from stope sheets. After importing values into the evaluation
software, a duplicate checking macro is run to identify and remove exact duplicates and “offset”
duplicates from the database. “Offset” duplicates are samples located close together (within 50cm of
each other) and have the same value;
•removal of obvious errors – the data is checked for obvious errors, such as negative values, blank
values or default values. Any suspect value needs to be checked and corrected, and if no validation
can be found, it should be removed from the database;
•spatial data check – the data is plotted spatially by means of a post-plot to ensure that the data is
plotting in the correct position. Any co-ordinate error needs to be checked and corrected. This process
cannot be put into a macro, and needs to be done manually; and
•the primary assay results captured in the database were validated by spot checking a selection of drill
holes used in the current Mineral Resource estimate.
During the reporting period, the CRM failures were investigated through the re-assay of the failed QA/QC
sample and surrounding samples within the affected batch.
Where re-assay results were acceptable, the re-assay values were used. Where failures persisted following
re-assay results, the affected batch was excluded from the sampling database and was not used for the
Mineral Resource estimation. As a result, only compliant assay data was retained for modelling.
The initial CRM failure rate was approximately addressed through the QA/QC protocol and did not materially
affect the Mineral Resource estimate as non compliant data was either replaced with acceptable re-assay
results or excluded from the database. Subsequent precision monitoring using repeat assay data
demonstrated acceptable correlation, providing confidence that assay quality is adequate for Mineral
Resource estimation (Refer to section 8.6.3, Table 8-2 for results summary). 
The QP conducted a high-level review of the data management, validation, and quality control procedures
and is satisfied that appropriate controls are in place and functioning effectively. Based on this review, the QP
has not identified any material or systematic errors that would be expected to have a material impact on the
Mineral Resource estimate.

9.2Limitations to the Data Verification
Previous data has been verified through various methodologies i.e. a “post plot” of all sample points relative
to the mine workings are made in order to locate any co-ordination errors. When “manual” capturing (re-
digitising old assay tracings) of data occurs, there is a risk that entire sample sheets may be plotted
incorrectly due to the use of incorrect projections and or scales/constants. All co-ordination errors are
identified and corrected.
9.3Comment on Data Verification
The QP is of the opinion that the Doornkop drill hole and sample database is reliable and adequate for the
purposes Mineral Resource estimation.

10Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(10) (i-v)
10.1Introduction
Over the decades, Harmony has continuously refined and optimised these processes, ensuring consistent
gold recovery and efficient mineral extraction from diverse ore bodies. The company's well-established
metallurgical practices are crucial in understanding production dynamics, enabling precise forecasting, and
supporting informed management and operational decisions.
The standards and methodologies outlined in this document are meticulously designed to:
•Ensure Consistency and Accuracy: Harmony maintains rigorous gold allocation and metallurgical
accounting practices across all operations, ensuring that every ounce of gold is precisely accounted
for;
•Facilitate Data Integrity and Accessibility: All relevant data are systematically recorded and easily
accessible, allowing for transparent and informed decision-making based on reliable information; and
•Support Continuous Optimisation: By reflecting ongoing optimisation efforts and established
processes, Harmony ensures that recovery estimates and test results are grounded in robust and
credible data.
Adhering to strict principles, Harmony's metallurgical accounting system guarantees the highest accuracy in
all tonnage and gold splits. This system provides a technically precise reflection of production per source and
ensures that data outputs undergo rigorous verification for accuracy and credibility.
Through this overview, Harmony is committed to maintaining the highest efficiency and technical excellence
standards in mineral processing and metallurgical testing practices.
10.2Sampling and Testing Methodologies
Harmony Mining Company Limited employs a comprehensive range of mineral processing and metallurgical
testing procedures to ensure optimal recovery rates and efficient mineral extraction. These methodologies
are integral to maintaining high operational standards and achieving consistent gold recovery.
10.2.1Systematic and Continuous Sampling
Harmony utilises a systematic and continuous sampling approach, where ore samples are collected at various
stages of the mining and processing operations. This process is automated using mechanical samplers
strategically placed at critical points along the process flow, such as conveyor belts, feed points, and tailings
streams. These samplers operate without human intervention, thereby minimizing potential biases and
ensuring the samples accurately represent the processed material.
The sampling process is tightly integrated with the operations’ SCADA system, which controls the timing and
frequency of sampling. This integration ensures that samples are taken consistently, reflecting temporal and
spatial variations in the ore.
10.2.2Composite Sampling
Composite samples are created by aggregating individual samples taken over a specific period. This approach
is used to obtain a more representative sample that reflects the processed ore's average grade and
mineralogical characteristics. Composite sampling reduces the variability in smaller, discrete samples,
providing a more accurate reflection of the ore body as a whole.
10.2.3Calibration and Verification of Equipment
The accuracy and reliability of the sampling process are maintained through regular calibration and
verification of the equipment used. The mass flow systems, essential for calculating the dry mass of the ore,
are calibrated monthly by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Additionally, slurry density
measurements, crucial for ensuring accurate mass calculations, are verified weekly by operational teams.
This regular calibration and verification are critical to ensuring the sampling system produces accurate and
representative results.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
10.2.4Specific Testing Procedures
Harmony conducts a variety of specific tests to address different aspects of the mineral processing workflow,
ensuring the representativeness of the samples:
•Comminution Testing: Involves crushing and grinding ore to liberate valuable minerals. Tests such as
the Bond Work Index and SMC are conducted to determine the hardness and grindability of the ore.
•Leaching Tests: Bottle roll and column leach tests are conducted to determine the ore's amenability to
cyanidation and other leaching methods. A typical bottle roll test involves transferring a weighed
sample into a leaching bottle, adding water to prepare slurries at 50% solids, and adjusting the pH
with hydrated lime to about 10.5. Sodium cyanide is added (concentration based on plant conditions),
and the bottles are rolled for 40 hours, with periodic pH checks and adjustments. After the leaching
period, the slurries are filtered, and the residues are analysed for gold content.
•Diagnostic Leaching is a laboratory technique used to identify the mineral phases associated with gold
and understand the causes of gold losses in the leaching process. This method involves sequentially
solubilizing the least stable minerals and extracting the associated gold, providing insights into the
disposition of gold within the ore.
10.2.5Analytical Laboratories
SGS South Africa conducts most of the Harmony's metallurgical testing. These laboratories are equipped with
advanced analytical instruments and follow rigorous testing methodologies. Essential procedures include fire
assay for gold analysis, with samples pulverized and analysed in triplicate using atomic absorption
spectroscopy (AAS) finish. SGS Laboratories ensure high accuracy and reliability in their testing processes,
adhering to strict quality control standards.
10.3Data Validation and Quality Control
Harmony employs a rigorous data validation and quality control process to ensure that the metallurgical test
samples are representative and that their data are accurate and reliable.
10.3.1Statistical Analysis
Harmony employs statistical analysis based on standard deviations to ensure the representativeness of
samples. Samples are monitored to determine if their values fall within a predefined range. Specifically, if a
sample’s value falls outside two standard deviations from the mean, it is identified as a "special cause." These
special cause samples are investigated further to understand the underlying reasons for the deviation,
ensuring any anomalies are identified and addressed promptly. This statistical approach helps maintain the
reliability and accuracy of the sampling process.
10.3.2Continuous Improvement
Harmony is committed to continuously improving its sampling and testing methodologies. The company
regularly reviews and updates its protocols to incorporate the latest advancements in sampling technology
and analytical techniques. This commitment ensures that the samples remain representative of the ore
bodies despite changes in mining practices, ore characteristics, or processing technologies.
10.4Recovery Estimates and Processing Factors
Recovery estimates form the backbone of metallurgical accounting at Harmony, providing a clear metric of
the efficiency with which gold is extracted from the ore. These estimates are derived from a combination of
historical data, ongoing testing, and sophisticated modelling to accurately reflect the processing plants'
performance and the characteristics of the treated ores.
10.4.1Detailed Calculation of Recovery Estimates
The calculation of gold recovery involves multiple stages, each tailored to the specific ore types and the
complex processing techniques employed. The basic theoretical formula for recovery estimation is:

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
10.4.2Head Grade and Residue Grade
The Head Grade refers to the gold content in the ore as it enters the processing plant. It is typically measured
using automated belt samplers that provide a continuous stream of data on the gold content of the material.
The Residue Grade represents the gold content in the tailings after the ore has undergone the complete
processing cycle. By comparing these two metrics, the recovery percentage is calculated, indicating how
much of the gold has been successfully extracted.
10.4.3Adjustments for Solution and Carbon Adsorption
In addition to the gold recovered from the solid ore, a significant portion remains in solution or adsorbed
onto activated carbon during the cyanidation process. Harmony’s metallurgical accounting system ensures
that these forms of gold are accounted for by integrating measurements of gold in solution (measured in mg/
L) and on carbon (measured in g/t). This approach ensures that the total gold recovered is comprehensively
calculated, considering all forms of gold within the processing circuit.
Taking the Harmony accounting standard into account, the actual total plant recovery is calculated by:
Recovery
=
Gold Produced
GAF
10.4.4Integration of Bottle Roll Tests for Baseline Recovery Rates
Bottle Roll Tests are a cornerstone of Harmony’s approach to establishing baseline recovery rates. Conducted
monthly, these tests simulate the leaching process on a small scale, using representative samples of ore from
various sources. The procedure involves placing a weighed sample in a sealed bottle with a cyanide solution
and then rolling the bottle to ensure thorough mixing. Over a defined period, typically 24 to 48 hours, the
solution is periodically sampled to measure the amount of gold that has leached into the solution.
The data obtained from these tests are critical for calibrating the recovery models used in the processing
plants. They provide a baseline recovery rate for each ore type, which is then applied to the blended ore feed
processed at the plants. This method ensures that the recovery estimates reflect the actual performance of
the plant and the variability in ore characteristics.
10.4.5Processing Factors Affecting Recovery
Several factors directly influence the recovery of gold during processing. Understanding and managing these
factors is essential to maintaining high recovery rates and ensuring the processing plants operate efficiently.
Ore Characteristics
The mineralogical composition of the ore profoundly impacts the recovery process. For example, refractory
ores contain gold particles locked within sulphide minerals, making them more challenging to process.
Harmony employs specific pre-treatment methods, such as ultra-fine grinding or roasting, to liberate the gold
from these complex ores, thus enhancing recovery rates.
Leaching Conditions
The effectiveness of the cyanidation process, which is the primary method for gold recovery at Harmony,
depends heavily on the leaching conditions. Key parameters include the concentration of cyanide in the leach
solution, the pH levels, and the presence of oxygen. These conditions are meticulously controlled and
monitored through the SCADA system, which provides real-time feedback and allows for immediate
adjustments to optimize recovery.
Particle Size Distribution
The comminution process, which involves crushing and grinding the ore to liberate the gold, is critical for
maximizing recovery. The particle size distribution directly affects the surface area available for leaching. Too
coarse a grind may leave gold particles locked within the ore, while too fine a grind can lead to excessive
reagent consumption or poor settling in thickeners. Harmony employs the Bond Work Index and SMC tests to
determine the optimal grind size for different ore types.
Preg-Robbing
Some ores contain naturally occurring carbonaceous material that can adsorb dissolved gold from the leach
solution, a phenomenon known as preg-robbing. This effect can significantly reduce the amount of gold
recovered. Harmony mitigates this issue by pre-treating the ore to deactivate the preg-robbing materials or
using additives in the leach solution that preferentially adsorb to the carbonaceous material, leaving more
gold in the recovery solution.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Blending Strategies
Given the variability in ore characteristics, Harmony employs sophisticated blending strategies to ensure that
the feed to the processing plant is consistent regarding grade and mineralogy. This approach helps stabilise
recovery rates and ensure that the plant operates efficiently. The baseline recovery rates obtained from
bottle roll tests for individual sources are used to predict the overall recovery from the blended feed,
allowing for accurate forecasting and operational planning.
Process Control and Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of the processing conditions is essential for maintaining high recovery rates. Harmony
uses a SCADA system to track critical variables such as slurry density, reagent addition rates, and leach tank
conditions. Real-time data analytics allow for immediate adjustments, ensuring that the plant operates within
the optimal parameters for gold recovery.
10.4.6Gold Inventory Management and Accountability
Gold inventory management is a critical component of Harmony’s metallurgical accounting, ensuring that all
gold within the process is accurately tracked and accounted for. Several vital metrics and calculations are
used to manage and verify the accuracy of gold inventories:
Gold Accounted For (GAF)
GAF
=
Gold Produced + Residue Gold
This metric represents the total gold recovered, including the gold produced and remaining in the residue. It
serves as a critical reference point for the overall gold balance.
Gold Called For (GCF)
GCF
=
Gold Delivered + ΔTotal Plant Inventory
GCF represents the expected amount of gold based on the ore feed and its calculated head grade, adjusted
for any inventory changes.
Plant Call Factor (PCF)
PCF
=
GAF
×
100%
GCF
This is the ratio of GAF to GCF, expressed as a percentage, indicating the efficiency in accounting for the
amount of gold.
Pulp Call
Pulp Call
=
Pulp Head Gold + ΔTreatment Inventory – Residue Gold
A daily estimate of gold production, based on pulp gold, adjusted for inventory changes and residue losses.
These formulas ensure that gold recovery and inventory are accurately managed and accounted for. They
provide a structured approach to monitoring and optimizing the metallurgical processes, ensuring that
Harmony maintains high operational efficiency and accountability standards.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
11Mineral Resource Estimate
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(11) (i-vii)
The narrow-tabular nature of the Kimberley and South Reefs at Doornkop lend themselves to the estimation
of grade and thickness in two-dimensional (“2D”) block models, without the requirements for geological
wireframes. An independent process of building a set of three-dimensional (“3D”) wireframes of the
structural interpretation to inform mine planning and the Mineral Reserve estimates is also undertaken.
Gold values are estimated into geological domains using geostatistical parameters that reflect the variability
of the data and the data spacing, utilising a customised script in DatamineTM Studio RM (“Datamine”)
modelling software. This allows the steps in the process to be repeated, recorded and easily audited. 
11.1Geological Database
The Mineral Resource estimate is based on the surface and underground exploration data obtained up to
31 December 2025 for both the South and Kimberley Reefs. The validated database contains a total of 20
surface drill holes, 2,899 underground drill holes and 85,664 underground channel samples for the South
Reef. The database is exported from Fusion ClientTM into DatamineTM.
The current Kimberley Reef Mineral Resource was last modelled in 2020 after which the Top Mine was
closed. The Mineral Resource included validated drill holes and underground channel sampling that can be
found in their respective databases.
11.2Global Statistics
Histograms and statistics of the raw data are calculated for each geological domain for comparative
purposes. The Coefficient of Variation ("COV"), calculated by dividing the standard deviation with the mean,
gives a measure of the variability of the data. A high CV (>1) represents highly variable or highly skewed data,
which may require some form of capping of extreme values to lower the COV to a more reasonable value
(~1).
A summary of the global statistics, by geozone, for the Kimberly and South reefs is provided in Table 11-1 and
Table 11-2, respectively.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
11.4Structural Wireframe Model
A set of 3D structural wireframes is generated, representing the geological interpretation for each reef. This
is informed by the geological drilling, chip sampling, underground geological mapping and survey point data
(or underground pegs) data and is created in Deswik CAD™ in order to allow subsequent mine design and
planning to take cognisance of the latest geological information. These wireframes are not required for the
Mineral Resource estimates.
11.5Compositing
Compositing is undertaken over the full width of the reef intersection.
11.6Capping
Outlying values (both for cmg/t and channel width) are calculated per domain at an optimal percentile using
the “QUANTILE” process. The “capping” allows for meaningful semi-variogram modelling and avoids potential
over-estimation due to extreme sample values.
11.7Variography
The experimental semi-variogram is a descriptive statistic diagnostic tool for spatially characterising
regionalized variables and is central to the process of kriging with the set data that can be used. The semi-
variogram is a mathematical function that describes how the spatial continuity of the sampled attribute
changes as a function of distance and orientation.
Either an isotropic or an anisotropic model can be defined, comprising a nugget variance and up to nine
individual structures, although it is rarely necessary to include more than three structures. Each structure
may be either spherical, power, exponential, Gaussian or De Wijsian, although spherical models are deemed
adequate for this shaft.
30m x 30m point-support semi-variograms are modelled for the Measured Mineral Resources; 60m x 60m
declustered-support semi-variograms are modelled for the Indicated Mineral Resources and 120m x 120m
declustered-support semi-variograms are modelled for the Inferred Mineral Resources.
11.8Mineral Resource Estimation Methods
Grade and thickness estimates are undertaken within the domains or geo-zones and informed by statistical
and geostatistical analysis. Channel width and gold accumulation (cmg/t), which factors both reef thickness
and grade, are the two variables estimated. No change of support corrections are considered necessary as it
is assumed that the differing support sizes for chip samples and drill hole samples are negligible.
11.8.1Estimation Parameters
The orientations and ranges of each geo-zone’s semi-variogram are used to determine the optimised set of
kriging estimation parameters. The search ellipse is aligned with respect to its range and direction, to the
direction of the associated semi-variogram, as well as the range distances.
The estimation method used for the local Measured Mineral Resource estimates is Ordinary Kriging (“OK”)
and for the Indicated and Inferred estimates, simple macro kriging (“SMK”).
Estimates are kriged into 30mx30m blocks for the Measured category, using point support data. The
Indicated category estimates are kriged into 60m x 60m blocks, using the associated semi-variograms,
utilising a macro kriging declustered data set. Similarly, the Inferred category estimates are kriged into 120m
x 120m blocks, using the associated semi-variograms.
The minimum and maximum number of data points used is 10 - 30 for the Measured category, 8 - 20 for the
Indicated category and 3 - 12 for the Inferred category. Any un-kriged areas in the Inferred category regions
are then estimated using a global mean.
The Measured Mineral Resource model is constrained using the Slope of Regression Estimation Confidence
and merged together with the Indicated Mineral Resource and Mineral Resource models to produce a
combined kriged block model.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
The distribution of the Kimberley Reef cmg/t estimates is shown in Figure 11-3, whilst those of the South
Reef are indicated in Figure 11-4.
11.8.2Relative Density and Tonnage Calculation
The relative density currently used for tonnage calculation at Doornkop is an average of 2.77t/m3. Reef
volume is determined by block area multiplied by the thickness estimate. The tonnage of each reef horizon is
determined by multiplying the volume by the relative density.
11.8.3Model Validation
The QP validated the Mineral Resource model using the following:
•visual comparisons with raw drill hole data to observe any anomalies or trends;
•a comparison of the LOM scheduling using the model compared with previous models; and
•a year-on-year comparisons of summary statistics, total gold, average grade etc.
11.9Mineral Resource Evaluation
The Mineral Resource estimate for Doornkop is considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction by the QP. The cut-off value for the Mineral Resources has been determined as
450cmg/t, based on the economic assumptions presented in Table 11-3, at the effective date of
30 June 2026. This cut-off considers high-level assumptions for mining and processing, as well as Doornkop’s
likely cost structure, informed by the ongoing mining operations.

The gold price in Table 11-3 has been derived by the Harmony Executive Committee and reviewed by the QP
for reasonableness. The QP considers the price to be appropriate for Mineral Resource estimation and is
slightly higher than that used for estimating Mineral Reserves (US$2,915/oz).
11.10Mineral Resource Classification and Uncertainties
The Mineral Resources have been classified into Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories, according to
the SAMREC Code and S-K 1300 definitions. The classification is based on geostatistical and geological
confidence.
For the geostatistical confidence, the Measured Mineral Resource model is constrained by the Slope of
Regression Estimation Confidence (Section 11.8.1), and the Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource models
are constrained by their kriging estimation parameters.
The QP then considered if the geostatistical confidence boundaries required modification based on the
geological confidence in an area. The geological confidence could include confidence in the sedimentary
facies and mineralisation model, or confidence in the structural model.

enhanced the confidence in the geological model;
•the methodologies applied in estimating the Mineral Resource are based on historical well-established
practices;
•there is no known geological data that was not used that could materially influence the estimated
quantity and quality of the Mineral Resource;
•there is no obvious geological, mining, metallurgical, environmental, social, infrastructural, legal and
economic factors that could have a significant effect on the prospects for the extraction of the Mineral
Resource; and
•the model for the Mineral Resource estimate is sound and it was not deemed necessary to consider
alternative interpretations for the current Mineral Resource Statement.

12Mineral Reserve Estimate
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(12) (i-vi)
The reported Mineral Reserves are derived through a business planning process and consideration by the QP
and Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The business planning process comprises multi-functional
reviews inclusive of all mining, support and service departments that are involved in the verification of the
inputs and the Modifying Factors. The CODM comprises various executive roles and responsibilities. These
executives assess the profitability, the revenue and production costs. The CODM also considers capital
expenditure, gold production and tonnes milled when assessing the overall economic sustainability.
12.1Key Assumptions, Parameters, and Methods used to Estimate the Mineral Reserve
The results and assumptions derived from the business planning process extends over an 18-month historical
period. The planning process carefully considers strategic plan directives; analysis of historical performance;
realistic productivity, and cost parameters; Modifying Factors; and technical and economic studies that have
demonstrated justified extraction, as applicable to specific portions of the Mineral Reserves.
All reported Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves originate in situ from the orebody hosted at Doornkop.
The Mineral Reserves are considered based on several factors, including:
•the latest geological structure and associated Mineral Resource estimation models that constrain the
layout for the mine design and LOM planning;
•only Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are used to derive the Mineral Reserves;
•the need for regional rock engineering stability pillars which are used for mining and geological
support;
•the extent or lack thereof of pillar mining, mining of remnant areas, reclamation of broken ore out of
old areas, tailings, or any other source;
•the conventional breast mining method in use at Doornkop, taking into consideration the mining and
rock engineering design guidelines; and
•the sources of dilution and relevant Modifying Factors.
The Mineral Resources form the basis of identifying the mineable areas. These mineable areas are then
designed and scheduled, as per the design parameters and layout, using DeswikTM (Version 3). The Modifying
Factors are then incorporated in order to obtain the Mineral Reserve estimate.
12.2Modifying Factors
A summary of the Modifying Factors used to convert the Mineral Resource to the Mineral Reserve for
Doornkop is presented in Table 12-1.

purposes of this TRS, the Mineral Reserves have been classified in accordance with § 229.1302(e)(2) (Item
1302(e)(2) of Regulation S-K).
Mineral Reserves are derived from the Mineral Resources, a detailed business plan and the operational mine
planning processes. Mine planning utilises and takes into consideration historical technical parameters
achieved. In addition, Mineral Resource conversion to Mineral Reserves considers Modifying Factors,
dilution, ore losses, minimum mining widths, planned mine call and plant recovery factors.
The QP responsible for the estimate is Mr H. Chirambadare, Ore Reserve Manager, and Harmony employee.
The Doornkop Mineral Reserves are presented in Table 12-2, whilst the locality of the South Reef Mineral
Reserves is shown on Figure 11-6. The Mineral Reserves are mineable within the mine's current
infrastructure. They are declared as delivered to the mill.

4.Gold content is delivered gold content after taking into consideration the modifying factors.
5.Mineral Reserves are reported using a cut-off grade of 500cmg/t determined using a gold price of US$2,915/oz gold
6.Rounding as required by reporting guidelines may result in apparent summation differences.
Kimberley reefs are not included in current Mineral Reserve estimate. The current LOM Reserve is mining the
South Reef using maximum shaft capacity. Kimberley reefs have been mined profitably in the past. The south
reef is the more profitable reef due to higher grade content and therefore this remains the primary reef
being extracted. The Kimberley reefs could become lucrative towards the end of the LOM of the South Reef
mining as shaft capacity becomes available and Kimberley Reef mining will be re-considered at such time.
12.4Mineral Reserve Reconciliation
The Mineral Reserve decreased from 1.756Moz as at 30 June 2025 to 1.411Moz as at 30 June 2026.
The decrease in Mineral Reserves is due to normal depletion and a technical refinement in the design and
scheduling methodology.

12.5Commentary on Mineral Reserve Estimate
The Mineral Reserves estimates include the South Reef only.
The Mineral Reserve estimates at Doornkop are informed by a business planning process and take into
consideration all modifying factors. The mine is currently operating profitably and the discounted cash-flow
analysis produces positive results. The Mineral Reserves are considered both technically and economically
achievable.  Material risks that could have a significant effect on the Mineral Reserves are managed through
formal risk identification and risk mitigation  plans. For example, dip pillars between raises  have been
introduced to reduce seismicity. Any significant change to a Modifying Factor that could materially impact the
Mineral Reserves would be fully evaluated, quantified, and incorporated into the Mineral Reserve estimates.
The decrease in Mineral Reserves is attributable to normal depletion and a technical refinement of the mine
design and scheduling methodology. Following the June 2026 restatement, the QP is confident that no
residual risks associated with the revised design and scheduling methodology remain.

13Mining Methods
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(13) (i-v)
Doornkop is a deep level underground gold mine currently operating at depths ranging between 1,870m and
2,100m below surface.
13.1Sequential Grid Mining
The mining method used at Doornkop is conventional breast mining, in a sequential grid, also known as
sequential grid mining (“SGM”).
Doornkop does not use backfill for the support of stopes. The SGM method makes use of dip pillars and
reduced mining spans with pre-developed tunnels, aimed at controlling geotechnical stress. The Geotechnical
Engineering department provides detailed numerical modelling and guidance regarding the best mining
practices to be applied to minimize risk associated with seismicity.
The mining sequence at Doornkop is typically a V-shaped configuration, colloquially referred to as the
“inverted Christmas tree”. An underhand face configuration is adopted when mining towards the west and
an overhand face configuration when mining towards the east. An example of the mining sequence used at is
shown in Figure 13-1.
Primary development is done off-reef (in waste rock), while secondary development is done on-reef (in the
mineralised zone). In primary development, horizontal haulages are developed from the vertical shaft,
extending to the extremities of the mining level. The inter-level spacing, which is the perpendicular distance
between two consecutive level stations underground, is typically 50m. Further development is done at set
intervals along the haulages towards the mineralised zones in the form of crosscuts. For secondary
development, an inclined excavation that connects two levels is established, referred to a raise or winze,
depending on the upwards or downwards direction of the development. A schematic layout is provided in
Figure 13-2.
The mine design includes pillars in the stoping areas that are designed to minimises the risk of unpredicted
collapse of stoping areas. These collapses can compromise the safety of mining operations and may lead to
permanent closure of stoping panels or sterilisation of ore. The major geological features are stabilised
through bracket pillars. A key feature of the SGM mine design is the stabilizing regional pillars as shown in
Figure 13-1. During the mine design process, the pillar dimensions for a particular layout and depth are
determined using the assumptions and model created by the geotechnical team. More details of the
geotechnical and geohydrological considerations are found in Section 13.5.
The SGM employed offers various advantages, the critical one being increased safety. As part of the strategy
to maximise flexibility and mitigate the risks associated with the production plan, development is done 24
months ahead of mining. A noticeable characteristic of the SGM method is that mining from the raises is
advanced in only one direction at a time, which is directed towards the stabilizing or regional pillars. This
SGM mining sequence also eliminates the creation of remnant pillars (a feature in breast mining) reducing
the risk of seismicity
13.2Mine Design
The mine design strategy aims at maximising the safe extraction of ore, while minimising the risk of
geotechnical failures, which can result in operational disruptions and dangerous working conditions. The
most critical parameter that varies in mining is the geology of the area. The South Reef horizons have been
subject to faulting and intrusions by igneous dykes and sills that cut across the reefs.
The occurrence of geological faults is also a source of groundwater during mining operations which may lead
to production delays, geotechnical risks, and the potential of flooding. Depending on the geology of the dyke
or sill, a change in the mining direction may be required, or as in the case of low-risk scenarios the Rock
Engineering department may suggest a safety and support strategy to mitigate the associated geotechnical
risk. A change in mining direction may result in Mineral Resource losses, or an increase in dilution.

Figure 13-3: Section of a Typical Footwall Crosscut and Raise Layout at Doornkop
re_figure13-3.jpg
A mine design that is sufficiently informed with geological data is progressed to the mine planning phase.
Mine planning is done on a macro scale as well as on a micro scale. On a macro scale, a regional cut-off grade
is applied and the material below cut-off is excluded from the mining model. On a micro scale, the mining
model is then subject to constraints that are applied because of the geotechnical design and other
limitations.
At Doornkop, reefs are accessed through a vertical twin shaft system with a supporting sub-vent shaft.
Section 15 provides more details of the surface and underground infrastructural layout supporting
Doornkop’s mining operations. The critical working levels at Doornkop are between 197 level and 212 level.
Development is predominantly in the footwall and the access haulages are typically positioned 75m to 90m
below the reef plane. The presence of large geological structures within the raise line can influence these
footwall development positions. As part of primary development, a crosscut is developed in the direction of
the mine workings. A plan view of a typical footwall crosscut is shown in Figure 13‑3.
A section view of the inclined secondary development, which is used to access the reef contact, and
advanced from the position of respective crosscuts is presented in Figure 13‑3. Ore is extracted from stoping
panels established from the inclined development. The typical stoping panel dimensions are a panel length of
27m and a stoping width on the South Reef of 1.23m.

13.3Mine Design Parameters
Mine design is done internally by Harmony DeswikTM (Version 3) software. The geological models, and the
geotechnical parameters formulated by the Rock Engineers, are used as a basis of the mine planning process.
The mine design parameters are shown in Table 13-1. The stopes are mined from the centre raise line, one
direction at a time, towards the stabilizing pillars (Figure 13-1). Additional support is provided using bracket
pillars, to ensure safety around major geological features.

13.4Mine Plan Development and Life of Mine Schedule
The SGM mining method is dependent on development staying ahead of the mining front, so that accurate
geological information is gathered and included in final designs before mining commences. This also enables,
planning and scheduling activities to be accurately sequenced, which leads to better planning, safer working
conditions, and improved profitability.
The LOM plan and scheduling starts with the use of the planning model, which is modelled at a 500cmg/t cut-
off grade. The mining rates used in determining the LOM plan are based on the current and expected
operational performance, notwithstanding any unforeseen underground mining constraints. The remaining
LOM for the operation is planned for 15 years, with a planned mining rate averaging at approximately
744ktpa (milled tons) over the LOM period. The extent of the Doornkop LOM plan is shown in Figure 13-4.

13.5Geotechnical and Geohydrological Considerations
Apart from the geotechnical risks that can be caused by the existence of geological structures and the
presence of water and gas, there is also a seismicity risk at Doornkop due to the depth of the current mining
operations. Doornkop maintains a network of seismic and geohydrological monitoring points. The
geotechnical model takes the latest geological structural model and the selected mining method into account
to design a suitable pillar layout.
The purpose of the pillar designs, regardless of the pillar type, is to customize them to the prevailing mining
conditions, with the objective of making the mine design safe, practical, easy to implement, and profitable.
These pillars include dip stabilizing-, bracket- and strike pillars. The details of the pillar design can be found in
Table 13-1. The dimensions depicted for the pillars are standard and are adjusted depending on planned
bracketing of geological structures, backfilling or in some circumstances, if patches of low value reef have
been encountered. The Rock Engineers measure the release of seismic energy known as the energy release
rate to establish backfilling support requirements and pillar design limits.
The geological structural model is also used to manage and monitor the occurrence of ground water and gas
intersections at the mine. Doornkop has encountered water-bearing fissures and faults, as well as methane,
in its mining history. There is always some risk associated with flooding and gas explosions at the mine, in the
event of an unforeseen influx of uncontrolled water or gas, from within the mining operations or from
neighbouring mining operations.
From a regional geohydrological perspective, Doornkop falls within the Zuurbekom compartment. Active
pumping is continuously underway around the shaft via 3 wells to limit water ingress. However, limited water
ingress does take place through mine workings, and the underground water is primarily associated with the
NE-SW structures, in particular the Roodepoort, Saxon, Chevron and Doornkop Faults.
Cover drilling is also done ahead of development to identify water and gas intersections in advance. Apart
from drilling, water is also identified during primary and secondary development. In the event of major water
intersections, a water sealing plan is initiated. Most of the mining areas have been sealed off, and in some
cases hoses and pipes are installed which diverts water to sumps, to be eventually pumped out to surface.

Final Report Date: 30 October 2026

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Methane gas pathways are identified during geological mapping and investigation of seismic data. Attributes
based on structural interpretation, give rise to the identification and understanding of methane gas migration
pathways. The identification of this structural architecture is critical for the mine as it provides a better
understanding of these pathways. Any risks identified from the presence of gas is controlled though the use
of Doornkop’s ventilation and refrigeration systems. The Geology department maintains detailed electronic
records of all water and gas intersections at the operations.
Seismic monitoring is done using uniaxial and triaxial sensors, which measure seismic activity on surface and
underground. The sensors are placed strategically based on Rock Engineering recommendations. In addition
to the monitoring done through the systems that are in place, visual monitoring of the mining excavations is
done by the Rock Engineering department, mainly focusing on the conditions of the pillars.
13.6Mining Operations
Doornkop has an extensive operational history and is operating within well-defined infrastructure. All ore is
currently sourced from the South Reef and the mined ore is processed at Doornkop’s processing plant.
13.7Mining Rates
The Doornkop LOM is 15 years and includes mining of the South Reef only. The annual forecast tonnages and
gold produced for the LOM is shown in Figure 13-5 and Figure 13-6, respectively.
13.8Mining Equipment and Machinery
Development and stoping operations at Doornkop require the following equipment:
•haulages and associated development is done with handheld drilling machines. Electric-powered drill
rigs have been introduced for underground excavations and tunnelling in some of the development
ends.
•production drilling in stopes requires compressed air hand-held drills;
•hand held machines are used for the development of ventilation connections and ore passes with
plans in place to migrate to manless mechanised drilling methods; and
•ore from the stoping ore passes is loaded directly into hoppers from box-front chutes. Waste rock
from development operations is loaded into similar hoppers and both ore and waste is trammed to
the shafts.

13.9Grade and Dilution Control
Broken ore grade control centres on the measurement of tonnage and grade through the ore flow, from the
blasted stope to the delivery to the plant.
At Doornkop, Mine Surveyors measure stopes monthly. The Mine Surveyors are accompanied by Grade
Control Officers, who assess the extent to which blasted material has been cleaned from the stope and
identify any tonnage lock-ups. Follow up checks are done on previously identified and reported lock-ups, off-
reef mining and areas where reef has been left in the footwall or hanging wall. On the monthly measuring
day, all relevant information is extracted electronically in order for the necessary adjustments to be made to
the grade and tonnage calculations.
13.10Ore transport
The blasted ore from the stoping panels is moved with winch-operated scrapers along gullies to ore passes
where it gravitates down towards the loading boxes in the footwall cross-cuts below the stopes. The ore is
discharged into rail hoppers and transported, via front-driven locomotives to dedicated inter-level transfer
systems that gravity feed to the main silos which are from 207 to 212 Level. The ore is hoisted up the sub-
vertical shaft and transferred to the main shaft rock system and silos. Once hoisted up the main vertical shaft
to surface, the ore is transported to the processing plant via conveyor belt. The hoisting capacity is 130,000
tons per month.
The shaft infrastructure is currently undergoing upgrades, while an ore handling system is being established
on 215 level to facilitate production from the 207 and 212 levels.

13.11Mining Personnel
Doornkop is labour intensive. The mine is supported by approximately 3,113 mine-employed personnel and 
928 contractors, totalling 4041 employees. The underground mining operations uses an 11-hour shift system,
operating a 2-shift cycle per day. The mining personnel operating on this shift cycle, comprise of workers
performing development, stoping, and other additional tasks. These personnel are sub-divided and organised
into support, breaking (also referred to as drill and blast), and cleaning crews.
The supporting and breaking crew complete tasks during the day shift, while cleaning is done during the night
shift. A development crew is responsible for one development end at a time. For the first year, Doornkop
plans to achieve an average of 13,005m2 per month, with a crew complement of 45, or approximately
289m2 /crew/month.
13.12Commentary on Mining Method
The SGM mining method employed by Doornkop is appropriate for the depth and levels of seismicity
experienced at the operation. The mine design, planning and scheduling for the mine is developed using
DeswikTM (Version 3) software, considering the geotechnical model and related parameters.
The main geotechnical and geohydrological risks include the presence of gas, ground water and seismicity,
which are managed through the integrated monitoring systems, and incorporated into working mining
models that inform daily mine planning decision-making.
The mining rates, machinery and equipment, ore transport, grade and dilution control, and labour resourcing
and optimisation are driven by the mine schedule and continuous improvement initiatives on-site.
A technical refinement of the mine design and scheduling methodology resulted in a Mineral Reserve
decrease as at June 2026. Following the June 2026 restatement, the QP is confident that no residual risks
associated with the revised design and scheduling methodology remain.

14Processing and Recovery Methods
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(14) (i-iv)
Doornkop's gold processing facility has been in operation since the mid-1980s. The technology used to
process the gold-bearing ore is well established and is suitable for the style of mineralisation. The plant has
operated without significant challenges and target metallurgical recoveries have been achieved.
14.1Mineral Processing Description
All of the ore mined at Doornkop is treated and smelted at the Doornkop plant. The flowsheet is presented in
Figure 14-1.The ore is initially reduced in size by crushing followed by semi-autogenous (“SAG”) milling after
which a conventional gold leach process (cyanidation), is applied . The cyanidation process is one of the most
common methods for the recovery of gold from auriferous ores. The use of cyanide leaching for gold
recovery is based on gold’s properties, mainly its solubility in cyanide solutions. Once the gold is dissolved
into the cyanide solution it has a higher ability to adsorb (attach) onto activated carbon through the
application of carbon in pulp (“CIP”) technology. The CIP circuit makes use of gravity flow of slime between
the consecutive counter-flow  stages in order to recover and recirculate the activated carbon back into the
system. The loaded carbon then enters the elution columns, where caustic cyanide is circulated through the
high pressure columns over the loaded carbon. The gold will “de-sorb”  from the activated carbon and attach
onto stainless-steel wool by means of Electrowinning. The electro-winning sludge is then dispatched to be
smelted at Rand Refinery.
14.2Plant Throughput, Design, Equipment Characteristics and Specifications
The milled ore from Doornkop follows a standard cyanide leach, CIP and electrowinning process in order to
extract the gold bullion. The key equipment specifications of the plant are provided in Table 14-1.

The cyanide leach is an intricate balance of grind, gold deportment and leach kinetics. These parameters have
been determined with metallurgical test work and historical performance to optimise the recovery. Due to
the nature of the ore, H2S04 is naturally liberated. To counteract this, lime is added as a water softener to
allow the leaching to occur in a basic environment, which prevents the cyanide being destroyed by the
H2S04.  (Table 14-2).

14.4Commentary on the Processing and Recovery Methods
The metallurgical process is a well-tested technology which has been in operation at the mine since 1986.
The recoveries used in the business plan were based on historic performance. The methodology applied
considered the historical metallurgical recovery (18-month period) for the relevant ore source. The actual
monthly head grades were reviewed and the relationship between the head grade and recovery were used as
base for the Business Plan (“BP”) 2026/27 metallurgical recoveries, taking into consideration the relevant
forecast head grades (Figure 14-2).

15Infrastructure
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(15)
Doornkop is an established operation, and the currently available infrastructure is sufficient to support the
mine plan. Doornkop is accessible via the national and provincial roads (Figure 3-1). The general layout of
Doornkop infrastructure is presented in Figure 15-1. Google Earth images are provided of the shaft area and
plant in Figure 15-2 and Figure 15-3, respectively.
15.1Surface Infrastructure
The infrastructural layout includes hauling and hoisting facilities (shaft); logistical support for core handling,
sampling, and transporting; a mineral processing plant; ore and waste facilities; tailings infrastructure; roads;
water and power supply; ventilation and refrigeration systems; stores and workshop support; electrical
supply; offices; housing and security.
15.1.1Ore and Waste Rock Storage Facilities
The gold bearing ore at Doornkop is processed at the mineral processing plant (Figure 15-3). There are two
ROM ore storage silos on surface, with a combined capacity of 5,600t.
Waste was previously transported and deposited on the rock waste dump located adjacent to the plant
(Figure 15-3) however at present, waste mining at Doornkop is relatively modest, and the waste is treated by
the plant.
15.1.2Tailings Storage Facilities
The tailings storage facility (“TSF”) is located north of Doornkop and is currently active. The facility is owned
by Doornkop and operated by Intasol, a specialist tailings contractor. All waste material from the mineral
processing activities is accumulated at this TSF.
The TSF has a current height of 42.4m and deposition is planned to continue until June 2042 at a Rate of Rise
of 0.4m/year - 0.7m/year, which allows sufficient time for consolidation. The planned final height of the TSF
in June 2042 will be 50.4m. If the facility is operated safely and regular audits to assess the stability,
freeboard requirement, position of the phreatic level and overall condition of the facility continue there is a
possibility to extend the life beyond 2042. A continuation report is planned during FY26/27 to confirm the
final maximum height of the facility.
The TSF adheres to the SANS 10286 governed classification system and is monitored by internal engineers,
supported by external engineering specialists. Slope stability assessments are conducted annually using
available geotechnical data, piezometer measurements, and results from the annual SCPTu investigation. The
latest results from the 2025 annual report show that the facility is considered stable in normal operating
conditions. An analysis of the downstream impact on communities, ecosystems, and critical infrastructure in
the event of catastrophic failure has been completed. There is also a long-term monitoring and closure plan
in progress.
15.1.3Power and Electrical
Electricity is sourced from Eskom, and the annual energy consumption is in the order of 270 GWh for the
mine. The main power supply is managed and distributed via on-site electrical substations. The power supply
infrastructure is robust. Eskom experienced reductions in load shedding and load curtailment during
mid-2025 and 2026, supported by ongoing national investment in renewable energy solutions to alleviate
pressure on the Eskom grid.  Doornkop Mine is currently upgrading its electrical infrastructure to support the
extended LOM and ensure that the power supply continues to meet planned production and service
requirements. This includes the installation of a fourth 20 MVA transformer and upgrading the overhead line
between Doornkop and DK1A from 7 MVA to 15 MVA. These upgrades will ensure redundancy in the mine’s
power supply, enhancing operational reliability.

15.2Shaft and underground infrastructure
The existing shaft headgear is photographed in Figure 15-2, whilst the underground infrastructure used to
access the reef is schematically presented in Figure 15-4.
The underground workings are accessed and mined via a Main and Vent Shaft, and a Sub-Vent Shaft. The
Main Shaft extends from surface to 212 level, while the Vent Shaft extends from surface to 106 level. The
Sub-Vent Shaft extends from 96 level to 212 level.
Currently production occurs between 197 level and 212 level, and access is provided by either the Main Shaft
or the Sub-Vent Shaft.
All movement is systematically facilitated by respective man and material tramming sections. Underground
broken rock handling is track-bound via locomotive material cars. These movements are supported by traffic
management systems, including control room monitoring, decline logistics control, etc. Rock is transferred
via gravity feed to the main silo infrastructure, located on 212 level. Rock is hoisted from 212 level to surface
via the Main Shaft.
In 2021 a capital project was approved to extend mining to new mining levels on 207 and 212 levels. While
207 level is now on the reef horizon, 212level is currently busy with access development. The shaft
infrastructure is also being upgraded and an ore handling system is being established on 215 level in order to
handle the production from the 207 and 212 levels.
15.3Commentary on Infrastructure
The operational infrastructure including road, rail, offices, security services, water and power supply is
adequate. Doornkop is well-established with sufficient logistical and infrastructure support for the existing
and planned mining operations.
The “Property, Plant, and Equipment” as of 30 June 2026, including buildings and mine infrastructure, mining
assets, rehabilitation and assets under construction, had a carrying value of R5,320 million.

16Market Studies
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(16)(i–ii)
Gold is traded in a variety of markets/exchanges both in physical form through over the counter (“OTC”)
markets, bullion banks and metal exchanges etc., and through passive investments such as exchange traded
funds (“ETFs”), which are based on gold prices and units representing physical gold which may be in paper or
dematerialised form. Demand is driven by the jewellery market, bar and coin, use in technology, ETF’s and
other financial products, and by central banks. An overview of the gold market is given in the following
sections based mainly on data from the World Gold Council and GoldHub websites.
16.1Market Overview
Annual global gold demand (excl. over-the-counter demand (OTC) and other) experienced an increase of
8.0% on an annual basis, totalling to 4,999.4 tonnes in 2025 when compared to the 4,630.6 tonnes recorded
in 2024. The fourth quarter of 2025 recorded an average gold demand (excl. OTC and other) of 1,330.6
tonnes, supported by a combination of record bullion prices, which recorded 53 new all-time highs during
2025, and record high fourth quarter demand, with exchange-traded funds (ETF) inflows recording the
second strongest year, while bar and coin buying reached a 12-year high. Furthermore, moving into the first
quarter of 2026, global gold demand (excl. OTC and other) was recorded at 1,195.9 tonnes, significantly lower
when compared to the 1,330.6 tonnes recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. However, when compared to
the first quarter of 2025, gold demand decreased by a substantial -9.0%. The main contributing factors to the
lower gold demand during the first quarter of 2026 include:
•Jewellery consumption decreased by a significant -31.0% when compared to the fourth quarter of
2025, whilst jewellery inventory recorded an annual decrease of -19.0% in the first quarter of 2026.
Furthermore, jewellery fabrication in the first quarter of 2026 was -24.0% lower when compared to
the previous quarter.
•Bar and coin demand in the first quarter of 2026 was 42.0% higher on an annual basis at 473.6 tonnes,
marking the second highest quarter on record; primarily driven by robust investment demand for gold
products from Asian investors. However, metals imitation coins decreased by a notable -34.0% on a
quarter-on-quarter basis when compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, while on an annual basis,
metals imitation coins increased by 23.0% in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same
quarter a year ago.
•ETFs and similar products demand decreased by a notable -65.0% when compared to the fourth
quarter of 2025. Furthermore, on an annual basis, a substantial decrease of -73.0% was recorded in
the first quarter of 2026.
•Central Banks and other institutions bought 243.7 tonnes of gold in the first quarter of 2026, recording
a significant increase of 17.0% when compared the fourth quarter of 2025. Furthermore, an annual
increase of 3.0% was recorded when compared to the 237.0 tonnes recorded a year ago.
In addition, the recent increases in total bullion demand and record high prices in the first quarter of 2026
were further supported by a slight increase in OTC demand.
16.2Global Production and Supply
Total gold supply was 1.0% higher in 2025 when compared to 2024, while the annual supply growth was 2.0%
higher in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Gold production and supply
are sourced from existing mining operations, new mines and recycling.
16.2.1New Mine Production
Gold supply from mine production amounted to 3,671.6 tonnes in 2025, marginally higher when compared to
the 3,650.4 tonnes recorded in 2024. In the fourth quarter of 2025, mine production of gold decreased to
968.4 tonnes when compared to the 1,032.8 tonnes recorded in the previous quarter. However, moving into
the first quarter of 2026, mine production increased by 2.0% on a year-on-year basis to reach 884.7 tonnes,
while on a quarterly basis, mine production decreased by a notable -9.0%, primarily due to normal seasonal
fluctuations in the mining industry.
According to the WGC, preliminary data indicated notable increases in gold mine production in the first
quarter of 2026 for Mali (30.0% y-o-y); Indonesia (19.0% y-o-y); Canada (15.0% y-o-y); and Peru (3.0% y-o-y).

16.2.2Recycling
The global annual supply of recycled gold increased by 3.0% in 2025 to reach 1,404.3 tonnes when compared
to 2024. The increase in supply was encouraged by higher bullion prices, resulting in a 2.0% increase in
recycled gold during the fourth quarter of 2025 when compared to the same quarter in 2024. This marked
the strongest quarterly performance in recycled gold supply since the third quarter of 2020. Notably, East
Asia recorded the most significant increase among all regions, primarily driven by volume increases in China.
Furthermore, global supply of recycled gold increased by 5.0% to reach 366.0 tonnes during the first quarter
of 2026, when compared to the 348.5 tonnes recorded during the same period in 2025, supported by
multiple record high bullion prices. However, on a quarterly basis, supply of recycled gold remained relatively
unchanged when compared to the previous quarter.
16.3Global Consumption and Demand
During the first quarter of 2026, gold demand (excl. OTC and other) reached 1,195.9 tonnes, reflecting a
decrease of -9.0% when compared to the same quarter the previous year. However, when including OTC and
other, total demand increased by 2.0% on an annual basis in the first quarter of 2026 to reach 1 230.9
tonnes; resulting in a record quarterly demand value of US$193.0 billion, amid gold’s outstanding price
increase.
16.3.1Jewellery
A total annual jewellery consumption of 1,542.3 tonnes was recorded by the World Gold Council (WGC) for
2025, reflecting a significant decrease of -18.0% and marking a five-year low when compared to the 1,886.9
tonnes recorded in 2024. The decline in global jewellery demand can mainly be ascribed to multiple record
high bullion prices recorded during 2025. Consequently, the value of jewellery demand increased to a record
high of US$172.0 billion. Furthermore, in the first quarter of 2026, total global jewellery fabrication demand
experienced a significant quarter-on-quarter decline of -24.0%, decreasing from 438.0 tonnes in the fourth
quarter of 2025 to 335.0 tonnes in the first quarter of 2026 and marking the lowest quarterly level since the
second quarter of 2020, during Covid. However, the value of total global jewellery demand increased to
reach a record high first quarter value of US$47.0 billion.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
In China, demand for gold jewellery decreased by a notable -32.0% to reach 85.2 tonnes in the first quarter of
2026 when compared to the same quarter a year ago. Chinese demand was pressured amid record high gold
prices; weak income growth and consumer confidence; and the introduction of changes in the Value Added
Tax (VAT) treatment of gold jewellery in the fourth quarter of 2025. However, Chinese spending on gold
jewellery increased by 16.0% on a year-on-year basis to reach US$13.0 billion. In addition, demand from India
was pressured amid record high bullion prices; however, demand remained resilient and reached a record
high first quarter value of US$10.0 billion.
16.3.2Investment
Total annual gold investment increased by a significant 84.0% to reach 2,175.3 tonnes in 2025, higher when
compared to the 1,185.4 tonnes recorded in 2024 and exceeding the previous annual record held since 2020.
In addition, gold physically-backed exchange-traded funds (ETF) investments increased to reach a record high
of 4,025.0 tonnes in 2025, while bar and coin investment increased to a 12-year high value of US$154.0
billion during the same period. The increased investment in the safe-haven asset was primarily driven by
escalating geopolitical risks; a weaker US Dollar; expectations of lower interest rates; and extended stock
valuations.
However, in the first quarter of 2026, investment in gold (excluding OTC) recorded a decrease of -5.0% on a
year-on-year basis to reach 535.6 tonnes, down from the 563.6 tonnes recorded in the first quarter of 2025
and also lower when compared to the 602.9 tonnes recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. ETF holdings
decreased significantly to 62.0 tonnes in the first quarter of 2026 from 229.9 tonnes recorded in the first
quarter of 2025, marking a notable decrease of -73.0%. ETF holdings were pressured as outflows during
March 2026 offset most of the inflows recorded during January 2026 and February 2026. However, ETF
holdings still recorded a seventh consecutive quarter of positive demand. Additionally, investment in gold
was pressured by profit-taking, deleveraging and liquidity-driven demand for gold amid broader risk-off
market conditions.
According to the WGC, global bar and coin investment increased by a notable 42.0% when compared to the
first quarter of 2025, to reach an average of 473.6 tonnes in the first three months of 2026.
The average London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) price of gold reached a record high quarterly average
to trade 70.0% higher in the first quarter of 2026 at US$4,872.90 an ounce, when compared to the same
period a year ago, which also represented an 18.0% quarter-on-quarter increase when compared to the
US$4,135.20 an ounce recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025.

16.3.3The USD Currency and Gold
The inverse relationship between the value of US Dollar (USD) and that of gold is one of the most discussed
relationships in currency markets. The USD is the internationally accepted currency and most of the
international transactions take place in USD equivalent. The major reason behind the relationship of gold and
the USD, is that gold is used as a hedge against the adverse exchange value of the USD. As the US Dollar’s
exchange value decreases, it requires more USD to buy gold, which increases the value of gold. Two other
factors linked to the USD, or the strength of the USD, is inflation and interest rates.
In 2026, leading central banks kept interest rates unchanged at their latest policy meetings, including the U.S.
Federal Reserve Bank; the Bank of England (BoE); the European Central Bank (ECB); and the South African
Reserve Bank (SARB), with the SARB maintaining the repurchase rate at 6.75%. The decision to maintain
interest rates can mainly be attributed to heightened uncertainty over global economic conditions and
inflation risks amid the Middle East conflict. However, several major central banks warned of possible future
interest rate hikes to prevent surging energy prices from leading to higher inflation, which could cause non-
yielding bullion to become less attractive and place downward pressure on gold prices.
The US Dollar is anticipated to remain steady over the next few months. Furthermore, movements in the US
Dollar are expected to remain dependent on developments in the Middle East war, with the currency
appreciating during times of escalated tensions and depreciating during periods of eased tensions. However,
over the long term, the US Dollar is expected to weaken as more investors seek diversification and European
currencies, particularly the Euro and British Pound.
16.4Gold Price
16.4.1Historical Gold Price
The LBMA gold price reached 53 new record highs during 2025 and recorded an annual average price of
US$3,431.50 an ounce in 2025, 44.0% higher when compared to an average of US$2,386.20 an ounce
recorded in 2024. The upward trajectory continued into the first quarter of 2026 where gold prices averaged
18.0% higher at US$4,872.90 an ounce on a quarter-on-quarter basis, reaching a new quarterly high. When
compared to the same quarter a year ago, gold prices increased by a considerable 70.0% in the first quarter
of 2026.
Moving into the second quarter of 2026, gold prices remained elevated in April 2026, recording a notable
5.6% year-to-date increase to trade at US$4,611.00 an ounce. Gold prices were supported by a weaker US
Dollar and strong ETF inflows; however, these gains were partly offset by improved risk appetite and lower
market volatility.
The geopolitical risk premium is expected to continue its upward trend and support gold prices, which could
in turn support stronger demand for gold ETFs and OTC, as well as bar and coin demand. However, higher
bullion prices are expected to weigh on jewellery demand, while mine production is expected to increase
modestly in 2026. The latest market expectations point to U.S. interest rates remaining within the 3.50% to
3.75% range until the end of 2026, with expectations of a first interest rate cut in December 2026, amid
higher inflation concerns driven by elevated energy prices due to the Iran war.

16.4.3Harmony Group Gold Hedging Policy
Harmony has a hedging policy which is managed and executed at Group treasury level on-behalf of its
operating entities. The key features of the hedging program are as follows:
•the policy provides for hedging (or forward selling) up to maximum percentages of expected
production for different future periods, on a rolling basis, as set out below:
◦Year 1, 30%
◦Year 2, 20%
◦Year 3, 10%
•the policy has no minimum quantity that should be hedged, and if an attractive margin above cost
cannot be achieved (i.e., in a low gold price environment) then no hedges are entered into;
•Harmony enters into ZAR-denominated gold hedges for its South African operations and USD-
denominated hedges for Hidden Valley mine in Papua New Guinea);
•Individual mines do not enter into hedges in their own name but delivers bullion to Rand Refinery for
refining on behalf of Harmony. Rand Refinery is one of the world’s largest single-site precious metals
refining and smelting complex in the world. Rand Refinery refine all of Harmony’s South African gold

production to at least 99.5% purity, and acting as agent, sells the gold on the daily spot London fixing
price and make payment to  Harmony two days later;
•gains and losses realised from the hedging program are accounted for at Group level and the financial
benefit (or downside) is distributed amongst the operations proportional to their levels of gold sales;
•Harmony does its mine planning and financial forecasts based on the estimated future gold price
provided by an external source (ETSA), but its year-end actual financial results reflect the received
gold price inclusive of the impact of the hedging programme. Therefore individual mines  receive a
combined hedged gold price for the hedged portion of its gold sales with the balance attracting the
spot price
16.5Commentary on Market Studies
The factors which affect the global gold market are well-documented as are the elements which influence the
daily gold price.The average London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) price of gold reached a record high
quarterly average to trade 70.0% higher in the first quarter of 2026 at US$4,872.90 an ounce, when
compared to the same period a year ago, which also represented an 18.0% quarter-on-quarter increase when
compared to the US$4,135.20 an ounce recorded during the fourth quarter of 2025.
16.6Material Contracts
As with all major businesses, Harmony and Doornkop enters into a multitude of vendor agreements for the
provisions of supplies and services. These agreements are entered into on a competitive basis and typically
are of a medium-term duration all with clauses providing for periodic updating of pricing, annual (or other)
renewal or termination.
Harmony has contractual vendor agreements with various service providers and suppliers. The most

17Environmental Studies, Permitting and Plans, Negotiations, or Agreements
with Local Individuals or Groups
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(17) (i-vii)
The South African Government has an extensive legal framework within which mining; environmental and
social aspects are managed. Harmony and its Doornkop operation is primarily regulated and managed by
certain principal Acts (Section 17.3) as well as corporate policies, management systems and certain industry
wide guidelines, including:
•Sustainable Development Framework;
•Emissions and Discharge Standard;
•Mineral and Non-Mineral Waste management Strategy
•Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Policy;
•Environmental Policy; 
•Harmony Water Management Strategy;
•Biodiversity and Rehabilitation Position Statement; 
•Socio-Economic Transformation Policy; and
•Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
The latest sustainability policies and public Environmental Social and Governance (“ESG”) performance and
disclosure reports are available on the corporate website. Harmony has identified the environmental risks for
the business and has strategies in place to manage the risks.
17.1Results of Environmental Studies
Doornkop has prepared multiple environmental impact assessments (“EIA”) for regulatory purposes; under
the current legal framework, these assessments require stakeholder engagement and public participation. In
2025, a Cultural and Heritage Resources Assessment was conducted to identify protected sites and develop a
heritage resource management plan in accordance with the National Heritage Act, Act No. 25 of 1999. As
part of this assessment, two old graveyards and a monument honouring the fallen Boer and British forces
were identified as significant heritage sites located within the Doornkop mining right boundary. Additionally,
these important cultural and heritage sites must be fenced off to protect them from potential damage
caused by mining operations and community activities.
Harmony is dedicated to fostering positive relationships with regulatory authorities, industries, communities,
business partners, and other stakeholders. To assess potential environmental impacts of its operations,
Harmony has developed a comprehensive environmental impact register. The main impacts were evaluated,
and mitigation measures were proposed to minimize their effects on the environment.
17.2Waste and Tailings Disposal, Monitoring & Water Management
The process of mining and beneficiation produce significant waste, typically consisting of:
•Mineral wastes in a form of waste rock and tailings slurry;
•Non-mineral waste, such as general waste, hazardous waste and brine produced as a by-product of
water treatment; and
•gaseous emissions such as particulate matter, sulphur dioxides, Nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides.
Measures have been put in place for the handling and disposal of all hazardous chemicals (e.g. cyanide),
hydrocarbons (i.e. hydraulic oils and diesel) and other chemicals to ensure the protection of human health
and its potential impact on the environment. Harmony recognises that responsible and effective waste
management can positively reduce its environmental impacts and mitigate associated environmental
liabilities. Waste management is thus a priority focus area. Internally, guidelines on mineral, non-mineral and
hazardous waste materials are included in the environmental management systems (“EMS”) implemented at
Doornkop
Tailings comprises of crushed rock and process water emitted from the gold elution process in the form of
slurry once gold has been extracted. As tailings contain impurities and pollutants, they are placed in TSF
engineered to contain them, in line with Harmony's tailings management programme and the Global Industry
Standard on Tailings Management ("GISTM").
Effective Date: 30 June 2026
Final Report Date: 30 October 2026

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Harmony's overall tailings management strategy is to ensure robust, meticulous engineering and dam design,
along with a continual focus on management of risks through layered assurance and oversight. The focus
areas include, but are not limited to:
•freeboard control;
•water management;
•maintaining stability and the safety factor as advised by the engineer of record;
•erosion controls; and
•monitoring and control measures implemented to ensure continued compliance (including regular
inspections, audits, and meetings on varying intervals with subsequent actions, minutes and reports).
As part of its mining, environmental and water use approvals and licences, Harmony is required to implement
monitoring programmes and plans to establish the operations impact on the environment. The compliance
limits for the monitoring variable are included in the applicable EMPRs, WULs and environmental
authorisations. The environmental monitoring implemented at Doornkop includes:
•ground and surface water monitoring;
•biodiversity monitoring;
•mentoring the ecological health Klipriver;
•waste classification and quantification;
•integrated waste and water management plan updates;
•water balance reviews;
•licence and authorisation compliance reviews; and
•air quality (i.e. noise and dust) and greenhouse gas emissions ("GHG") monitoring.
Doornkop has implemented Harmony’s corporate water management standard which applies to water in the
entire mining lifecycle, including prospecting, project design and commissioning, operation and closure. The
objective of the standard is to improve the efficiency of water use in the entire mining life cycle and reduce
the demand on natural and municipal water supply. One the measures in place is the treatment of
underground fissure water at a reverse osmosis plant to potable standard. The treated water is used as
drinking water quality at the mine offices, hostels, medical hubs and at the cheese factory. The quality of this
water is monitored on a daily basis to ensure compliance to SANS 241 drinking water quality standard. Back
wash water is pumped to gold plant for use in metallurgical processes and irrigation of vegetation on tailings
storage facility side slope.
17.3Permitting and Licences
In respect of environment, the following national Acts and the regulations promulgated thereunder provide
the regulatory framework for mine permitting and licencing in South Africa:
•Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (“MPRDA”);
•National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (“NEMA”);
•National Environmental Management: Waste Act, 2008 (“NEM:WA”);
•National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004 (“NEM:AQA”); and
•National Water Act, 1998 (“NWA”).
In line with MPRDA, Doornkop has an approved EMPR that formed part of the mining right application and is
used as the basis for managing all environmental aspect/impacts at operation. Doornkop has all other
environmental permits are in place required that cover the environmental, archaeological, waste and
hydrological components of the operations. A summary of the status of environmental permits issued is
presented in Table 17-1.

EMPR for approval. Environmental Impact Assessment and associated studies are also being prepared for the
upgrade of the existing access road and for the portable water pipe to supply DK1A second escape and
proposed fridge plant. 
An independent party conducts a compliance assessment every two years against the conditions and
commitments of the approved Environmental Management Program Report (EMPR). The audit report of this
assessment is then submitted to the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources for further evaluation
and enforcement.  The audit for the year 2024 revealed that Harmony’s Doornkop operation achieved a total
compliance score of 96%.  All permits are audited regularly for compliance and no material risks to the
operations have been identified. An online Doornkop environmental legal register, available at www.drayer-
legal.co.za, is used to monitor compliance and to obtain relevant legal environmental updates for the
operation to ensure compliance.
In addition, Doornkop operation is both certified in terms of ISO 14001:2015 standard and by the
International Cyanide Management Institute in terms of the cyanide management code. As required by both
the ISO14001:2015 standard and cyanide management code, every effort is made to either eliminate or
minimize the impacts of mining activities on the environment and surrounding communities
17.4Local Stakeholder Plans and Agreements
Harmony strives to create sustainable shared value within the communities it operates. Local stakeholder
plans and agreements are based on the results from socio-economic information, government development
strategies and EIAs undertaken. The socio-economic development programme commits to:
•contribute to areas that will have the most meaningful socioeconomic impact on communities, namely
infrastructure, education and skills development, job creation and entrepreneurial development;
•enhance broad-based local and community economic empowerment and enterprise development
initiatives;
•facilitate socio-economic development in local communities by means of Social and Labour Plans
(“SLPs”) and corporate social responsibility programmes;
•support arts, culture, and sports and recreation; and
•build relationships based on trust within host communities.
In South Africa, mining companies are required to have a SLP which forms an important component of
Harmony's community investment plan. It sets out the Company’s obligation to develop and implement
comprehensive human resource development programs, community development plans, housing and living
condition plans and employment equity plans.
Effective Date: 30 June 2026
Final Report Date: 30 October 2026

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
The ultimate aim of the SLP is to ensure the uplift of the social and economic circumstances of local
communities surrounding the mine and are a prerequisite to securing and maintaining a mining right, with
progress required to be reported each year. Implementation of the SLP is the responsibility of the General
Manager and the Human Resources Leader at the operation. Doornkop Mine has budgeted to spend a total
of R30.6 million in the next financial year to meet its SLP commitments.
17.5Mine Closure Plans
Harmony makes provision for closure and rehabilitation both for accounting purposes and as required under
the MPRDA. The statutory obligation for all environmental rehabilitation at Doornkop is administered by the
DMPR and requires the preparation of a closure plan, the development of a cost estimate, and financial
assurance. The Company makes an annual submission to the DMPR setting out the cost of closure in
accordance with the MPRDA and the regulations issued thereunder.
Harmony appointed Digby Wells Environmental, independent environmental consultants, to review and
update the Closure Cost Assessment for unscheduled closure associated with the Doornkop Mining
Operations. The Doornkop Mining Operations is a Harmony operation, located south of Krugersdorp, 30km
west of Johannesburg, in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The mine closure assessment was done in terms of
regulation 53 and 54 of the MPRDA and in accordance with the requirements of NEMA. The closure cost as at
30 June 2026 was calculated to be approximately ZA130.7m.
Harmony has made funding available in an amount equal to the cost of closure as determined under the
MPRDA in the form of a trust fund and/or bank guarantees.

17.6Status of Issues Related to Environmental Compliance, Permitting, and Local Individuals Or
Groups
All material mineral rights, mining rights, surface rights, environmental authorizations, permits, licenses, and
other governmental approvals required for current operations and the LOM Extension Project have been
obtained and are in good standing, or are expected to be renewed or maintained in the ordinary course of
business. Harmony has valid title to, or the right to acquire title to, the mineral and surface rights necessary
to conduct its operations. To the best of the Qualified Person's knowledge, there are no pending or
threatened legal, administrative, or regulatory proceedings that could materially impair Doornkop's mineral
tenure, mineral rights, surface rights, or mining operations. Furthermore, there are no known conditions,
obligations, timing constraints, or consequences related to permitting, tenure, regulatory compliance, or
third-party agreements that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on continued operations
and the declaration of Mineral Reserves.
17.7Local Procurement and Hiring
Harmony is committed to investing in the future of local communities beyond the LOM and not to only
empower them, but also to mitigate the impacts its activities to ensure a positive legacy. The 2014 Mining
Charter serves to guide the South African mining industry in socio-economic transformation. Local
procurement (goods and services) and human resource management are key measures set under the Mining
Charter and are reported on annually.
Portable skills are developed through expanded learning programmes, learnerships and other programmes
opened only to operating communities and areas where labour is sourced. Local procurement is being
supported where there is a skills shortage.

17.8Commentary on Environmental Studies, Permitting and Plans, Negotiations, or Agreements
with Local Individuals or Groups
Periodic inspections are conducted by the DMPR to verify compliance with applicable environmental laws,
regulations, permits and standards. In addition, Doornkop has implemented an EMS in line with the ISO
14001 standard. The EMS is audited on an annual basis by a third party and includes the needs and
expectations of interested parties.
As part of Harmony, Doornkop conducts its operation based on policies and systems that are aligned to its
corporate sustainable development framework. Although Harmony is not a signatory to the International
Council on Mining and Metals or the UN Global Compact, these form the guiding principles of the framework.
Harmony discloses its sustainable development voluntarily in accordance with the guidelines issued by the
Global Reporting Initiative (“GRI”). Further to this, Harmony discloses environmental information on the
Carbon Disclosure Project (“CDP”) for both climate change and water. CDP is a global environmental
disclosure system that supports companies to measure and manage their risks and opportunities on climate
change, water security and deforestation.
Harmony has a good understanding of the environmental and social aspects of the operations through
baseline and specialist studies previously conducted. Risk management and mitigation measures were
adequately addressed in the environmental management plans and will be effective to mitigate risks and
impacts to acceptable levels should the measures be implemented according to the specialists’
recommendations.
The QP is of the opinion that most of the required environmental authorizations are in place and only require
amendments to be made to reflect the current infrastructure. Based on current industry norms, a realistic
timeframe to obtain relevant authorizations is estimated between 12 and 18 months.

18Capital and Operating Costs
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(18) (i-ii)
Economic parameters for the Harmony Group, including capital and operating costs, are determined and
signed off by the CODM, before distribution to the business units. The capital and operating costs are
reported in Rand terms and on a real basis. Reporting periods are financial years, inclusive of the months
from July to June. Rounding of figures may result in minor computational discrepancies.
18.1Capital Costs
The estimated capital costs for Doornkop are reported according to costs associated with ongoing capital
development, major equipment outside the main operating sections which is termed AE, infrastructure
development or shaft capital, as presented in Table 18-1. The various capital projects cost estimates have a
reasonable basis, there is no contingency applied. The estimated capital costs presented in Table 18-1 are
carried forward and modelled in the cash flow.  The accuracy of capital is ±10% and a contingency of 15%  is
applied. The Capital project is 70% completed.
18.2Operating Costs
A summary of the direct and indirect operating costs for Doornkop are presented in Table 18-2. The
operating costs are forecast on actual historical costs and are used as an input into the Doornkop cash flow
mode. Costs are calculated at current prices with a 6% inflationary increase applied only in Year 1 to an
accuracy level of ±5%. Contingencies are applied solely to capital costs and not to working costs.
18.3Comment on Capital and Operating Costs
The capital and operating cost estimates for Doornkop is based on actual historical data, as well as budget
forecasts with a 15% contingency for capital. Therefore, the forecasted costs are reliable, and at minimum
meet the confidence levels of a Feasibility Study. This approach of estimating capital and operating costs is
consistent with industry practice. A record of the forecast and budget costs is maintained by the operation,
allowing for an assessment of the alignment of the forecast and actual costs.

19Economic Analysis
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(19) (i-iv)
19.1Key Economic Assumptions and Parameters
The CODM formulate, review, signs-off and distributes economic assumptions to the various business units.
On an annual basis, during the period October to November, long-term commodity prices and exchange rate
forecasts are received from various financial institutions. In addition, a specialist in economics from a
reputable economics company based in South Africa provides expert views on the global markets, forward-
looking commodity prices, exchange rates, consumer price index, production price index, electricity cost and
consumable cost increases. All relevant factors are evaluated, taking cognisance of the requirements of the
NYSE and JSE markets, and a proposal is presented to the CODM for review and approval. Once approved,
these assumptions are communicated to the Company's business units and applied in conjunction with
operation-specific considerations. The QP reviewed and assessed the assumptions developed and approved
through the Company's governance process and concluded that they are reasonable and appropriate for use
in the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates.
19.1.1Metallurgical Recoveries
The metallurgical recoveries used in the cash flow are provided in Table 12-1.
19.1.2Gold Price
The forecast gold price (US$2,915/oz) is the price that is used by Harmony for the annual planning cycle and
forms the basis for the spot gold price assumptions used in the cashflow. The reader is referred to Table 16-1
for the consensus forecast gold price. The conversions used in the calculation of the various gold prices are
presented in Table 19-1.

19.1.3Exchange Rate
The South African Rand (ZAR) appreciated to average at R16.34/US$ during the first quarter of 2026, 4.6%
stronger when compared to an average of R17.12/US$ recorded during the last quarter of 2025. Moving onto
April 2026, the ZAR appreciated by 1.2% on a month-on-month basis, and by a notable 12.6% compared to
April 2025 to average at R16.54/US$, following an 8.4% annual appreciation recorded in March 2026.
More recently, the South African Rand appreciated against the US Dollar, driven by market anticipation
regarding an upcoming meeting in Beijing between U.S. President Donald Trump and China’s President, Xi
Jinping. On the 13th of May 2026, the commodity-backed currency strengthened by 0.4% to trade at R16.45/
US$, supported by expectations that China could help pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which
could ease oil prices and inflation concerns.
However, the South African Rand depreciated to trade at R16.76/US$ on the 19th of May 2026, as investors
remained cautious over developments in the Middle East war after U.S. President Donald Trump paused a
planned attack on Iran to allow time for negotiations in order to end the war.

19.1.4Royalties
Royalty is an expense paid to the government of South Africa and is accounted for in the cash flow models. In
terms of the mining ring-fencing application, each ring-fenced mine is treated separately, and deductions can
normally only be utilised against mining income generated from the relevant ring-fenced mine.
19.1.5Capital Expenditure
The capital cost breakdown for Doornkop is presented in Table 18-1.
19.1.6Operating Expenditure
The operating costs are determined as a function of the cash working costs of the mining and mineral
processing plant activities and ongoing capital development for mining). Whereas, total costs are a function
of the operating costs, capital costs, and royalties. The operating costs for Doornkop are presented in Table
18-2.

19.1.7Working Capital
Working capital is calculated at a Harmony Group level and not at an operational level.
19.1.8Taxes
Mining tax on gold mining taxable income in South Africa is determined according to a formula, based on the
taxable income from mining operations. Of that, 5% of total revenue is exempt from taxation while the
remainder is taxable at a higher rate (33%) than non-mining income (27%). Accounting depreciation is
eliminated when calculating the South African mining tax income. Excess capital expenditure is carried
forward as unredeemed capital to be claimed against future mining taxable income.
19.1.9Closure Cost and Salvage Value
The closure cost estimates are those provided in Section 17.5. No account has been taken of any potential
salvage values.

19.2Economic Analysis
Harmony's respective business units and its associated operating sites consider the economic assumptions
discussed in Section 19.1 during their respective planning and analysis processes. The past year’s average
gold price is used for testing purposes. Harmony's budgeted gold price of R1,650,000/kg is used for
forecasting the revenue of the Doornkop cash flow (Table 19-4).
The discounted cash flow model is used to calculate the Net Present Value (“NPV”) of the investments. The
NPV for this budgeted gold price, is approximately R3,793 million, at a discount rate of 9%.
The NPV is calculated on a cash flow that accounts for factors such as:
•mining and ore processing working costs;
•royalty payments;
•capital costs, including costs allocated to ongoing development;
•any significant project work considered as major projects; and
•costs deemed as abnormal expenditure projects.
The IRR calculated is 56% and the payback period for the LOM Extension Project is 5 years.

19.3Sensitivity Analysis
The economic assumptions, cash flow breakdown and economic analysis contribute to the basis for the
sensitivity analysis. The sensitivities are calculated and analysed, as shown in the accompanying tables
(Tables 19-5 to 19-7).
Harmony has reviewed its exposure in terms of South Africa’s political instability, the currency exchange rate,
and the gold price, on its financial assets and financial liabilities, and has determined the sensitivities for a
±10% variance. Management considers this range to be a reasonable change given the volatility in the
market.
The sensitivity analysis is completed for variations in commodity price (ZAR/kg), total operating costs, which
include capital costs and royalties paid (ZAR); and a combined analysis considering variations in commodity
price, total operating costs, and changes in production. Capital investments at Doornkop are relatively low
and not expected to have any significant impact on the NPV and therefore not included in a sensitivity
analysis. The base case in the analysis below is the economic results emanating from the LOM plan (Table
19-4).

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
The sensitivity analysis (Table 19-5, Table 19-6 and Table 19-7) is based on a change in a single assumption
while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, as risks and/or
opportunities will have an impact on the cash flows, and changes in some of these assumptions may be
correlated. The insights that can be provided by this sensitivity analysis is that Doornkop is most sensitive to
changes in the gold price (ZAR/kg), closely followed by changes in total operating costs (ZAR).
The impact of one or a combination of risks and opportunities occurring at the same time cannot be
specifically quantified so an analysis considering multi-parameters is considered. In this way the general risks,
with the aid of the sensitivity table (Table 19-6) are adequately covered. The sensitivity analysis considering
the three variations of gold price (ZAR/kg), operating costs (ZAR) and variation in production (kg Au) shows
that the lowering of working costs, improvement in productivity and the benefits of a higher gold price can
have positive impacts on the Doornkop.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
22Interpretation and Conclusions
Section 229.601(b)(96)(iii)(B)(22)
Doornkop is a well-established mine which has been operating since 1983.
The QP is not aware of any material legal, title, permitting, environmental or land access risks that could
reasonably be expected to affect the ability to conduct mining activities within the permitted mining right
areas incorporated as Doornkop. In addition, no known material risks have been identified in respect of
surface access or surface-related activities required to support current and planned mining operations.
The gold-bearing conglomerates at Doornkop is situated on the northwestern margin of the Witwatersrand
Basin of South Africa, one of the most prominent gold provinces in the world. While there are several gold-
bearing conglomerate reefs present within the mining right area, only the Kimberley Reef and South Reef are
considered to have prospects for economic extraction at this stage.
The regional geological setting, mineralisation and deposit is well understood. The geology is supported by
seismic survey and, surface and underground drilling findings. Geological anomalies associated with the
Kimberley and South Reefs are identified, defined, and managed by the Geology Department.
Extensive exploration informs both the South Reef and Kimberley Reef models, and Harmony continues to
conduct underground drilling and channel sampling on the South Reef. Sampling of underground drill hole
intersections, as well as sampling of established stopes on the reef horizon, inform the updates to the
Mineral Resources. Harmony has budgeted R25 million for infill exploration drilling in the next 12 months.
The current Kimberley Reef Mineral Resource was last modelled in 2014 after which the Top Mine was
closed. The Mineral Resource included validated drill holes and underground channel sampling that can be
found in their respective databases.
The sampling approach and management, density assumptions, laboratory procedures, and assaying and
analysis are in keeping with industry standards and practices and is appropriate for the Witwatersrand-type
mineralisation. The understanding of the regional geology, lithological and structural controls of the
mineralisation is sufficient to support the estimation of Mineral Resources.
The data pertaining to the mineralisation, regional and geological setting, exploration findings, sample
collection, preparation, and testing, inclusive of data verification and metallurgical test work gives rise to the
Mineral Resource estimate. The combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource, exclusive of Mineral
Reserves, as at 30 June 2026 is 36.287Mt at 3.70g/t gold, containing 4.313Moz of gold, and the Inferred
Mineral Resource contains 11.844Mt at 3.73g/t gold, containing 1.422Moz of gold.
Mineral Reserves are derived from the Mineral Resources, a detailed business plan and operational mine
planning processes. Mine planning utilises and takes into consideration actual historical technical
parameters. In addition, the conversion of the Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves considers Modifying
Factors, dilution, ore losses, minimum mining widths and the planned mine call factors. The Mineral Reserve
is 11.158Mt of ore at 3.93g/t, containing 1.411Moz as at 30 June 2026.
Gold bearing ore mined at Doornkop is processed at the Doornkop processing facility which has been in
operation since 1986, and as such the processing method is considered well established for mineralisation at
Doornkop. The plant therefore makes use of historical trends and data as a basis for their recoveries.
The mine is currently mining profitably, and the Mineral Reserve estimates show a positive discounted cash
flow. There are no obvious material risks that could have significant effect on the Mineral Reserves.
The Mineral Reserves are extracted via the SGM method, taking into consideration the mining and rock
engineering design guidelines. This mining method increases flexibility and minimises seismicity and is
appropriate for the deep-level nature of the operation. The metallurgical process is a well-tested technology,
processing ore from the Kimberley and South reefs.
The mine’s regional and local infrastructure is capable of fully supporting the mining and surface related
mining activities. Doornkop is accessed via national and provincial road networks, has key power
transmission and distribution networks provided by the National electricity regulator, water supply networks

and communication infrastructure. Doornkop is well-established with sufficient logistics and infrastructure
support for the existing and planned mining operations.
Harmony and Doornkop are exposed to market risks such as exchange rate and gold price fluctuations which
are partially offset by the Harmony Group hedging policy. The hedging programme takes into account factors
effecting the global gold market and these, along with macro-economic conditions, are used to determine
planning and forecasting inputs at group level for all of Harmony’s operating business units. Other non-gold
related risks are addressed to some extent by Doornkop entering into vendor agreements for the provisions
of supplies and services which are done on a competitive basis with customary price adjustment, renewal
and termination clauses.
To successfully operate a mining operation in South Africa the state requires compliance with applicable
environmental laws, regulations, permits and standards. Doornkop adheres to said compliance and
regulatory standards and have, in addition, implemented an Environmental Management System in line with
the ISO 14001.
Doornkop conducts its operations based on policies and systems that are aligned its corporate sustainable
development framework. This is guided by the principles of the framework from the International Council on
Mining and Metals or the UN Global Compact. Harmony discloses its sustainable development voluntarily in
accordance with the guidelines issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Further to this, Harmony
discloses environmental information on the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for both climate change and
water.
In the opinion of the QP, Harmony has a good understanding of the environmental and social aspects of
Doornkop mine, based on baseline and specialist studies conducted to date. Environmental and social risks,
together with appropriate mitigation measures, have been adequately addressed in the environmental
management plans. The required environmental authorizations are in place, and only amendments are
required. Based on current industry norms, a realistic timeframe for obtaining the relevant authorizations is
estimated to be between 12 and 18 months.
One of the ways Harmony creates sustainable value for all stakeholders is through economic regeneration,
which contributes to the growth and development of its people, assets, and host communities.
The economics of Doornkop’s Mineral Reserve is based on the discounted cash flow model, with a spot metal
price of  R1,650,000/kg. The NPV for the spot metal price, is R3,793 million, at a discount rate of 9%. The NPV
is calculated based on cash flows considering the following factors: capital and operating costs; and royalties.
The capital and operating cost estimates for Doornkop are based on historical data, as well as budget
forecasts. This estimation technique allows for the forecast and actual costs to be aligned.
Royalties and taxes are paid to the South African government and accounted for in the Doornkop cash flow
and NPV analysis. There are also specific tax relief benefits that apply to gold mining companies, where 5% of
total revenue is exempt from taxation, amongst other benefits.
The economics are tested for its sensitivity to commodity price (ZAR/kg), operating costs (ZAR) gold
production (kg). The insights provided by the sensitivity analysis is that Doornkop is most sensitive to changes
in the gold price (ZAR/kg), closely followed by changes in total operating costs (ZAR).
The TRS provides sufficient information as required and there is no other relevant data and information.
The TRS was prepared by a team of experienced professionals. The TRS provides a summary of the material
scientific and technical information concerning the mineral exploration, Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves,
and associated production activities of the mineral asset, including references to the valuation for Doornkop.
The QP was responsible for specific sections of this TRS which he has personally supervised and reviewed.
This TRS contains the expression of the QP opinions, based on the information available at the time of
preparation.
