Technical Report Summary for

Glossary of Terms
TermDefinition
Co-krigingA 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 gradeCut-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.
DilutionUnmineralized rock that is by necessity, removed along with ore during the mining process that effectively lowers the overall grade of the ore.
Head gradeThe average grade of ore fed into the mill.
Economically viableEconomically 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 ResourceIndicated 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 ResourceInferred 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.
KrigingA 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 FactorThe 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 ResourceMeasured 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 ReserveMineral 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 ResourceMineral 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 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.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Modifying FactorsModifying 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 StudyA 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 ReserveProbable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of an Indicated and, in some cases, a Measured Mineral Resource.
Proven Mineral ReserveProven Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource and can only result from conversion of a Measured Mineral Resource.
Qualified PersonA 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.
TailingsFinely ground rock of low residual value from which valuable minerals have been extracted is discarded and stored in a designed dam facility.
Tailings FreeboardThe 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) (1)
The Qualified Persons (“QPs”) of Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony” or the “Company”) have 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 (“SEC”) property disclosure regulations, S-K 1300, with an effective date as at 30 June 2021. 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 form part of Harmony’s West Rand operations and extends to a maximum depth of approximately 2,000m 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 current mining right (Reference No. GP30/5/1/2/2/09MR), held by Randfontein Estates Gold Mining Company Limited (“REGM”), encompasses an area of 2,941ha and is valid from 7 October 2008 to 6 October 2038.

Ownership
Doornkop is wholly owned by Harmony, including the associated mineral rights. Harmony acquired the mine in January 2000, when they took control of 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 present 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.

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 been producing approximately 90 to 110 thousand ounces (“koz”) of gold annually from the South Reef only.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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 ZAR15m for infill exploration drilling on the South Reef over the next 12 months.

Doornkop may be considered as 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 2021. 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 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(d)(1)(iii)(A) (Item 1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) 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 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 2022, is summarised in Table 1-2.

For the purposes of this TRS, the Mineral Reserves have been classified in accordance with § 229.1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) (Item 1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) of Regulation S-K). The Qualified Person 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 recovered gold content after taking into consideration the modifying factors.
5. Mineral Reserves are reported using a cut-off grade of 739cmg/t determined using a gold price of USD1,546/oz gold.

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 estimated Mineral Reserves were depleted to generate the Doornkop cash flows. The economic analysis of the cash flows displays positive results and are deemed both technically and economically achievable.

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 Charted compliance (“MCC”), The capital and operating costs are reported in ZAR terms and on a real basis. The 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
3Property Description
Section 229.601(b)(96) (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 2,941.021ha 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 was issued for a period of 30 years expiring on 6 October 2038, and Harmony has the exclusive right to renew the right. 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.

Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
4Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
Section 229.601(b)(96) (4) (i-iv)
4.1Accessibility
Doornkop Mine is located approximately 30km west of Johannesburg and is easily accessible via the R558 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 (“asl”), 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.

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) (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 additional, 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 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.
5.3Previous Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
The previous Mineral Resource estimate for Doornkop was issued by Harmony on 30 June 2021 in accordance with SAMREC, 2016. The previous Mineral Resource estimate is presented in Table 5-2 and is exclusive of Mineral Reserves.

6Geological Setting, Mineralisation and Deposit
Section 229.601(b)(96) (6) (i-iii
6.1Regional Geology
Doornkop is located on the northwestern margin of the Archean 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. 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.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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.

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 1,700m below surface. The general strike of the reef is east-west, and the dip varies from 10° to 20°. The overall mineralised strike length and width at Doornkop is 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 consist 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, on 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

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) (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 and Kimberley Reef channels are undertaken at the advancing face on a grid spacing of 5m x 5m. 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, perpendicular to the channel contact exposed in the face, including 2cm from both the hanging- and footwall. The chips are collected in a sample bag.

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.

Effective Date: 30 June 2022

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa

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 deflections.

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.

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 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 utilize core barrels to ensure maximum 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
CategoryComment
Acceptable100% 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 valueLight 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 valueIf 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 acceptableHeavy disking of core which may indicate core loss, partial known core loss due to grinding. Also faulting of any description within the reef zone.

The overall core recovery is typically acceptable however, due to the reef intersections being on a carbonaceous unconformity, the majority of the reef horizon is often disced and considered unacceptable.

7.5.6Sample 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 value the gold content 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:
pneumatic 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.

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 897 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 majority of the reef horizon is often disced and considered unacceptable.

7.7Hydrogeology
Three dewatering wells have been drilled around the shaft collar, one being a replacement well drilled in 2021.

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.
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 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 is sufficient to support the estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.

8Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security
Section 229.601(b)(96) (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 starting operating Doornkop.

8.1.1Channel Samples
Sampling is undertaken by a sampler, assisted by a sampling crew. 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.

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.

Pertinent data captured during sampling includes channel width (cm) and a detailed visual description of the reef, including in 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 and 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 laboratory-based pycnometer method. A density of 2.77t/m3 is used for tonnage calculations, which is based on 1,308 samples taken from the run-of-mine conveyor belt.

8.3Sample Security
All cores are transported to the secure core yard for logging and sampling.

Samples are stored in secured 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.

8.4Laboratory Sample Preparation
All samples are 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).

Effective Date: 30 June 2022
31

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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 for gold for all reef and waste dump and drill hole samples. This has a lower detection limit of 0.5g/t;
Aztec analysis for gold for all underground chip samples, with a lower detection limit of 0.5g/t; and
X-ray diffraction (“XRD”) analysis for uranium.

All pulps of exploration drill hole intersections are kept and stored on site. 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 must be 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 Harmony for the January 2021 to December 2021 sampling period is presented in Table 8-1.

Table 8-1: Summary of QA/QC Field Samples
TypeTotal No.
Primary Samples45,833
Blanks500
CRM1,311
Duplicates106

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 Chippers are also compiled in order to check the quality of the chipping. These observations are made weekly and are also kept on record for audit purposes.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa

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 QAQC 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) (9) (i-iii)
The Doornkop drill hole data is stored in DatamineTM Fusion Client database, which can only be accessed by the QP and Technical Specialist (Exploration Manager). 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.

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.

The QP did not identify any critical errors in the database.

A peer review is conducted over the drill hole core and the inputs and results before each drill hole is signed off as being suitable for use.

Biannual audits are undertaken on the underground chip sampling process by the Geosciences Manager.

9.2Limitations to the Data Verification
None.

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) (10) (i-v)
Doornkop and its processing facility have been in operation since 1986 and as such the processing method is well established for the style of mineralisation processed. Harmony is able to make use of historical trends and data as the basis for their recovery assumptions. Prior to recommencing mining on the South Reef, a metallurgical test work campaign was undertaken.

10.1Extent of Processing, Testing, and Analytical Procedures
The objective of the test work performed by Mintek SA (“Mintek”) was to evaluate if the South Reef could be processed in a similar way to the Kimberley Reef, which had already been successfully processed for some time. The test work investigated the effectiveness of the existing gold extraction techniques applied to the South Reef, and evaluated if there were optimisation opportunities in:
gravity concentration;
grind size;
leach residence time;
sodium cyanide (NaCN) concentration, and
carbon contact time.

10.2Degree of Representation of the Mineral Deposit
Two samples from existing South Reef workings were taken; one sample of 75kg was of reef material only, while the second sample of 80kg was a full face sample. These samples were prepared, analysed and subjected to the test programme. Gold dissolution test work was conducted on all samples delivered from the underground workings as well as the products generated from the mineralogical investigation.

The head grade of the samples is presented in Table 10-1, and these grades were considered representative of the ore to be mined.

Full face sample8.70

10.3Analytical Laboratory Details
The metallurgical test work of the ore samples from Doornkop was conducted by Mintek. Mintek’s services include an analytical service division which specialise in geochemical and metallurgical analyses, and they have laboratories that conduct testing according to ISO17025 requirements.

10.4Test Results and Recovery Estimates
The test results did not indicate any material changes were necessary to the Doornkop processing lant in order to treat South Reef material, and that recoveries similar to those achieved from the Kimberley Reef were likely. As the Doornkop plant had successfully and consistently treated South Reef in a production environment in the interim, these results do not inform the Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates herein, and they are therefore not discussed in any further detail.

10.5Commentary on Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing
Doornkop and its processing facility have been in operation since 1986, as such the processing method is considered well established for the style of mineralisation processed. The plant makes use of historical trends and data as the basis for their recoveries; however, when new projects are planned, test work is performed.

11Mineral Resource Estimate
Section 229.601(b)(96) (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 modelling software (“DatamineTM”). 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 2021 for both the South and Kimberley Reefs. The validated database contains a total of 20 surface drill holes, 1,823 underground drill holes and 66,471 underground channel samples. The database is exported from Fusion ClientTM into DatamineTM.

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.

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.

11.3Geological Interpretation
The geological interpretation is based on sedimentological principles for the reefs. The imported data is assigned to a series of geological domains, or geozones, for generating the geological models. The geological domains or zones for the Kimberley and South reefs are graphically presented in Figure 11-1 and Figure 11-2, respectively.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
The estimation domains are based on geology. The imported data is attributed to the appropriate Kimberley Reef or South Reef geological domains (or geo-zones) for statistical and geostatistical analysis.

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 Datamine™ 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.

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 generally 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 14 - 25 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.

Effective Date: 30 June 2022
39

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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.

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. 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 economic extraction. The cut-off value for the Mineral Resources has been determined as 638cmg/t, based on the economic assumptions presented in Table 11-3, at the effective date of 30 June 2022. 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.

Gold priceUSD/oz1,723
FX rateZAR:USD15.35
Gold priceZAR/kg850,191

The gold price in Table 11-3has been derived by the Harmony Executive Committee. The QP considers the price to be appropriate for Mineral Resource estimation and is slightly higher than that used for estimating Mineral Reserves (USD1,546/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 have taken cognisance of the 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.

Doornkop considers that the structural model adequately accounts for geological losses, and no additional discount is applied to the Kimberley Reef or South Reef Mineral Resource models to account for unknown geological structures.

The application of the classification criteria above results in the following set of approximate sample spacings for each Mineral Resource category:
1,000m x 1,000m for Inferred Mineral Resources;
100m x 100m for Indicated Mineral Resources; and
5m x 5m for Measured Mineral Resources (underground channel sampling).

Geological losses are applied according to Mineral Resource category as follows:
Measured: 3% ;
Indicated: 9%; and
Inferred: 15%.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
It is important to note that the combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, are carried forward to the Mineral Reserves conversion and subsequent LOM planning.

Factors that may affect the Mineral Resource estimates include the following:
gold price assumptions;
exchange rate assumptions;
operating and capital cost assumptions;
gold recovery assumptions;
geology related risks; and
operational risks

11.12Mineral Resource Reconciliation
The combined Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource gold content estimate for 2021, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, decreased by less than 1%, from 3.456Moz gold to 3.078Moz gold. This was in part due to depletions, and the net positive increase in Mineral Resources through the long inclined borehole (LIB) exploration drilling programme.


11.13Comment on Mineral Resource Estimates
In the opinion of the QP:
testing the realistic prospects for eventual economic extraction has not been done since 2014 when Top Mine was closed. The plan for the new financial year is to declare a Mineral Resource on the new geological model which was created subsequent to a seismic survey and data harvesting exercise from surrounding mines being conducted. This allowed for the inclusion of historic geological information which enhanced the confidence in the geological model. Previously a smaller portion of the Mineral Resource base was declared to indicate the Mineral Resource potential while upscaling the Mineral Resource confidence;
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) (12) (i-iv)
The reported Mineral Reserves are derived through a business planning process and consideration by the 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 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.

12.3Mineral Reserve Estimate
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(d)(1)(iii)(A) (Item 1302(d)(1)(iii)(A) 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 Qualified Person 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 mills, except for the recovered gold content. This gold content is calculated after factoring in the plant recovery factor, as shown in the Modifying Factors (Table 12-1) and is the gold content which informs the economic assessment.

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 recovered gold content after taking into consideration the modifying factors.
5. Mineral Reserves are reported using a cut-off grade of 739cmg/t determined using a gold price of USD1,546/oz gold.

The Kimberley Reefs are not included in the Mineral Reserve estimate as there is no immediate, foreseeable opportunity for extraction.

12.4Mineral Reserve Reconciliation
The Mineral Reserve has increased from 1.513Moz as at 30 June 2021 to 1.934Moz as at 30 June 2022, which is primarily related to mining depletions and an increase in Mineral Reserves due to the LIB exploration programme and the winzing strategy employed at the operation.

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 the necessary Modifying Factors. The mine is currently mining profitably, and the Mineral Reserve estimates are supported by an economic analysis which indicates positive cash flows. There are no obvious material risks that could have significant effect on the Mineral Reserves.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
13Mining Method
Section 229.601(b)(96) (13) (i-v)
Doornkop is a deep level underground gold mine currently operating at depths ranging between 1,870m and 1,950m 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.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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 192 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 739cmg/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 16 years, with a planned mining rate averaging at approximately 1,080ktpa (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.

This 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, to avoid water ingress. Limited and insignificant water ingress does take place through mine workings, and underground water is primarily associated with the Chevron Fault and the Black Duck Dyke.

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.

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 16 years and includes mining of the South Reef only. The annual forecasted 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 require hydro-powered (“HPE”) drill rigs for underground excavations and tunnelling;

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
production drilling in stopes requires compressed air hand-held drills;
raise boring drill rigs are used for the development of ventilation connections and ore passes; 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.

13.11.Mining Personnel
Doornkop is labour intensive. The mine is supported by approximately 3,581 mine-employed personnel and approximately 859 labour personnel are in direct production. 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. Doornkop plans to achieve an average of 20,342m2 per month, with a crew complement of 69, or approximately 295m2 /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.

14Processing and Recovery Methods
Section 229.601(b)(96) (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.

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), incorporating liquid oxygen injection 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 loaded carbon then enters the elution columns, which are high pressure vessels that circulate the loaded carbon extracting the gold. The gold will “deabsorb” from the activated carbon and attach onto stainless-steel wool by means of electrowinning. The CIP circuit makes use of gravity flow of slime between the consecutive counter-flow stages in order to recover recirculate the activated carbon back into the system. Following this process, the cathode steel wool is smelted after drying in the calcining ovens. The bullion (gold) will then be dispatched to Rand Refinery for final refining, with silver as a by-product.

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.

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”) 2022/23 metallurgical recoveries, taking into consideration the relevant forecast head grades (Figure 14-2).

15Infrastructure
Section 229.601(b)(96) (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 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 (Figure 15-1). The TSF is currently active and is owned and operated by Doornkop. All waste material from the mineral processing activities is accumulated at this TSF.

The TSF site has full engineering records including design, construction, operation, and maintenance plans. The design height is 49.9m and is engineered in an upstream raising method. The designed volume is 12.68Mm3 and has a planned utilisation ending in 2038.

An analysis of the downstream impact on communities, ecosystems, and critical infrastructure in the event of catastrophic failure is complete. A closure plan, typically extending over a 2-year period, to assess the TSF against the impact of extreme weather events because of climate change is also in place. The facility has never failed stability certifications and has no notable stability concerns. There is also a long-term monitoring and closure plan in progress. The TSF adheres to the SANS 10286 governed classification system and is monitored by internal engineers, supported by external engineering specialists.

15.1.3Power and Electrical
Electricity is sourced from Eskom, and the annual power consumption is in the order of 200GWhr. Doornkop power supply is designed to satisfy the planned LOM production and service requirements. The main power supply is managed and distributed via electrical sub-stations located on site.

15.1.4Water Usage
Doornkop has a sufficient supply of water to support mining and processing activities for the LOM. Water usage per annum is approximately 700ML.

15.1.5Logistics and Supplies
The procurement of supplies and equipment are handled centrally, via Harmony, and then delivered to Doornkop.

Harmony operates its own rail system which connects the shafts, reduction works, shaft stores, explosives magazine and the mine workshops. This system is used to transport ore between shafts and plant and to transport consumables between the surface stores to the respective locations, as required. It is also connected to the regional railway system.

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 192 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.

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.

16Market Studies
Section 229.601(b)(96) (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 (“ETF’s”), 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
Unlike almost all mineral commodities, the gold market does not respond the same way to typical supply and demand dynamics which are founded on availability and consumption, but rather on global economic affairs, particular those of the major nations, industrial powerhouses and economic regions, such as the Eurozone. The gold market is affected by government and central bank policies, changes in interest rates, inflationary or deflationary environments and events such as stocking and de-stocking of central reserves. It is also largely affected by global events such as financial crises, geopolitical trade tensions and other geopolitical risks. Price performance is linked to global uncertainty prompted by the prolonged Russia-Ukraine war (GoldHub, Accessed July 2022). It is an asset that can preserve wealth and deliver price outperformance in an uncorrelated way and that makes it extremely attractive.

16.2Global Production and Supply
Gold production and supply is sourced from existing mining operations, new mines and recycling.

16.2.1New Mine Production
Gold mining is a global business with operations on every continent, except Antarctica, and gold is extracted from mines of widely varying types and scale. China was the largest producer in the world in 2021 and accounted for around 9-12% of total global production (Gold.org, Accessed 2022; USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, 2022). Overall, global mine production was 3,000t in 2021, slightly lower than production levels in 2020 (3,030t), and the second annual decline in production after 2016. Recent decline has been largely attributable to COVID-19 interruptions. In 2021, the major producing gold countries in the world were China (370t), Australia (330t), Russian Federation (300t), USA (180t), Canada (170t), Ghana (130t), Mexico (100t), and Uzbekistan (100t). Indonesia, Peru and Sudan produced 90t each, followed by Brazil (80t). South Africa produced 100t in the same year (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, 2022).

16.2.2Recycling
Annual global supply of recycled gold was 1,143.5t in 2021, a decline from the 2020 figure of 1,291.3t. Recycling supply responds to the gold price and its rate of change but experienced a modest increase during the year even as prices increased to all-time highs. India and China play large roles in the recycling market. In the first quarter of 2022, when gold demand was 34% higher than the previous year, the supply of recycled gold increased to 310t (a 15% increase y-o-y), and highest amount of activity for six years (Gold Demand Trends Q1 2022, Gold.org, April 2022).

16.3Global Consumption and Demand
Gold consumer demand is expected to be supported by gradual economic recovery. Gold has performed well as a consequence of a high-risk environment, low interest rates and a high price. While continued improvement in markets is expected post-COVID in 2022, economic slowdown among other factors is anticipated to place some downward pressure on consumer demand in China and India.

16.3.1Jewellery
Global annual jewellery demand increased from 1,329.7t in 2020 to 2,229.4t in 2021, amid a recovery of markets from the COVID-19 pandemic. As with recycling, the two largest markets, India and China, were major contributors to the decline in 2020, and markets were expected to improve with economic recovery in these geographies. In Q1 2022, recovery of demand was soft, down 7% y-o-y, after new lockdowns to contain COVID-19 (Gold Demand Trends Q1 2022, Gold.org, April 2022).

Effective Date: 30 June 2022
66

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
16.3.2Investment
The COVID-19 pandemic, high inflation and recent period of heightened risk and geopolitical uncertainty, has driven the value of gold as a ‘safe haven’ investment (www.gold.org/goldhub). Bar and coin investment was 20% lower in Q1 2022, but 11% higher than a five-year quarterly average (Gold Demand Trends Q1 2022, Gold.org, April 2022).

A total annual gold investment of 1,006.42t was noted by the World Gold Council for 2021, a decline of 43% from the 2020 figure. Weaker investor interest in 2021 was seen with a net outflow of gold ETFs (-173.6t). Gold demand has since increased in Q12022 (34% higher than Q1 2021), driven by strong ETF inflows, and safe-haven demand (Gold Demand Trends Q1, 2022, Gold.org, April 2022).

Investment drivers also include low interest rates, a weakened US Dollar, and an economic slowdown. A consequentially favourable price means even greater investment, but momentum has slowed with gold reaching a USD 1,800/oz marker (Recent moves in gold, Gold.org, July 2022).

16.3.3Currency
Gold holds an inverse relationship with the USD and is usually traded relative to its USD price. During the current period of uncertainty, and the rising influence of Chinese currency, central bank asset managers may likely increase their interest in gold as a result. This has been a prominent trend since the economic downturn in 2008.

Future performance of the gold market is expected to be supported by investment demand (a need for effective hedges and a low-rate environment) and will be driven by the level of risk observed in the recovery of the global economy from the effects of COVID-19, which may offset any lag in recovery of consumer demand.

16.4Gold Price
16.4.1Historical Gold Price
In early August 2020, the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) gold price reached historical highs and remained relatively high for the rest of the year (Figure 16-1).

16.4.2Forecast Gold Price
The minimum and maximum consensus gold price range for the year 2021 Q4 to year 2025 is presented in Figure 16-2. The long-term gold prices are considered from year 2025 onwards. Forecasts as advised from various financial institutions show that gold is expected to trade in a range of USD1,652/oz - USD1,728/oz, for the period 2022 to 2025 with a long-term outlook of USD1,521/oz.

The gold price forecast of USD1,546/oz is conservative if corroborated against a long-term broker consensus gold price outlook (Figure 16-2).

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 programme are as follows:
the policy provides for hedging (or forward selling) up to a maximum of 20% of expected gold production for a rolling 24-month period;
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 (for the non-South African assets it enters into USD-denominated hedges);

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
Doornkop does not enter into hedges in its 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 gold to at least 99.5% purity, and acting as agent, sells the gold on the daily spot London fixing price and make payment to the 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; and
Doornkop does its mine planning and financial forecasts based on the estimated future gold price provided by the Group treasury, but its year-end actual financial results reflect the received gold price inclusive of the benefit of the hedging programme. Therefore, in theory, Doornkop receives a hedged gold price for a maximum of 20% 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 gold price recorded all-time highs during both 2020 and 2022, and although it has since moderated and retracted, the price remains well above the 5-year historical average.

The positive outlook for gold will likely be sustained. Key headwinds for gold are interest rate hikes, currently at near historically low levels, but continued geopolitical risk and underperformance of stocks and bonds will support gold (Gold Mid-Year Outlook 2022, Gold.org, Accessed 2022). The gold price has experienced weaker momentum in Q2 2022, but stabilised. The gold market is expected to remain supported, and prices elevated for the balance of the financial year running into FY2023. Harmony has a relatively conservative gold hedging policy in place, and this is used to take advantage of the movements in the gold price to maximise the average gold price received, with the benefit of this hedging programme flowing through to Doornkop.

16.6Material Contracts
Harmony has contractual vendor agreements with various service providers and suppliers. The list of material contracts currently in place to support the Doornkop operation is presented in Table 16‑1. All the listed contracts are currently valid and in good standing. Terms, rates, and charges of contracts are considered consistent with industry norms. Contract management processes are in place and resourced so that contracts re-tendered and/or renewed as they approach expiry.

17.1Results of Environmental Studies
Doornkop has prepared multiple environmental impact assessments (“EIA”) for regulatory which, under the current legal framework, require stakeholder engagement. One of the specialist studies undertaken at the operation was a cultural and heritage resources surveys in 2009. The study was used to identify sites of cultural importance within the mining lease area. A graveyard was identified as an important cultural and heritage resource which required the area to be fenced off to prevent any damage from mining and community activities.

Harmony is committed to maintaining good relationships with regulatory authorities, industries, communities, business partners and surrounding stakeholders. Harmony is committed to maintaining good relationships with regulatory authorities, industries, communities, business partners and surrounding stakeholders. A detailed environmental impact register has been developed to identify all potential environmental impact of the operations. The main impacts were rated, and mitigation measures were proposed to minimise their impact on environment.

17.2Waste and Tailings Disposal, Monitoring & Water Management
The process of mining and beneficiation produce significant waste, typically consisting of:
solid waste in the form of waste rock and overburden;
liquid wastes in the form of wastewater and tailings slurry; and
gaseous emissions such as liquefied petroleum gas.

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").

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 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 wate 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.

17.3Permitting and Licences

There are applications submitted or being considered by the relevant authorities to ensure compliance and alignment with operations LOM requirements. To this end, applications have been submitted to amend the existing EMPR and are awaiting approval from the regulator at the effective date of this TRS.

A compliance assessment is required to be undertaken against the conditions of the EMPR every second year by an independent party and the report is submitted to the regulator. The audit conducted for the year 2019/20 indicates that Harmony’s Doornkop operation obtained a total compliance score of 94.31% for the audit. 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 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 2022
72

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. Harmony has budgeted to spend a total of ZAR14.6m in the next financial year to meet its SLP commitments. Of this amount, ZAR4m will be for mine community development.

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 DMRE 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 DMRE 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. 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 cost of closure must be determined and updated during the LOM and the financial provision made in accordance with the estimated closure cost and the predicted LOM. The closure cost, as at 30 June 2022, was calculated to be ZAR109m including a 10% contingency allowance.

Harmony is required to make 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
Most of the required environmental authorisations are in place and only require amendments to be made to reflect the current infrastructure at Doornkop. Based on current industry norms, a realistic timeframe to obtain relevant authorisations is estimated between 12 and 18 months.

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 DMRE 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

19Economic Analysis
Section 229.601(b)(96) (19) (i-iv)

19.1Key Economic Assumptions and Parameters
The CODM forms, reviews, signs-off and distributes economic assumptions to its various business units. On an annual basis, during the period October to November, long-term commodity prices and exchange rates 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 increases. All factors are analysed, cognisance is taken of the requirements of the NYSE and JSE markets, and a proposal is presented to the CODM for recommendation and approval. These assumptions are then applied at Doornkop, along with specific operational considerations.

19.1.1Metallurgical Recoveries
The metallurgical recoveries used in the cashflow are those provided Table 12-1.

19.1.2Gold Price
The proposed gold price (USD1,546/oz) is the price that is used by Harmony for the Doornkop annual planning cycle and forms the basis for the gold price assumptions used in the Doornkop cash flow. The reader is referred to Figure 16-2 for the consensus forecast gold price.

The conversions used in the calculation of the various gold prices is presented in Table 19-1.

19.1.3Exchange Rate
The consensus minimum and maximum ZAR:USD exchange rate for the year 2021 Q4 to year 2025 is presented in Figure 19-1. The long-term exchange rates are considered from year 2025 onwards. The volatility in the ZAR has continued against the USD resulting in the ZAR:USD exchange rate fluctuating. Forecasts as advised from various financial institutions show that the ZAR/USD is expected to trade in a range of ZAR15.13:USD – ZAR15.83:USD for the period 2022 to 2025 with a long-term outlook of ZAR15.83:USD in the short term.

In addition, the CODM has reviewed the ZAR:USD exchange rate performance over the past three years, for the period July 2019 - June 2022 (Table 19-2). The proposed spot exchange rate of 15.35 ZAR:USD is the exchange rate that is used by Harmony for the Doornkop annual planning cycle and forms the basis for the ZAR:USD exchange rate assumptions used in the Doornkop cash flow.

19.1.4Royalties
Royalty is an expense paid to the government of South Africa and is accounted for in the Doornkop 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 (34%) than non-mining income (28%). 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 provided in Section 17.5. No account has been taken of any potential salvage values.

19.1.10Summary

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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 AE.

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 (Table 19-5, Table 19-6 and Table 19-7). Harmony has reviewed its exposure in terms of South Africa’s political instability, the COVID-19 pandemic, 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).

The sensitivity analysis (Table 19-5 and Table 19-6) 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 19-7) 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) (22)
Doornkop is a well-established mine which has been operating since 1983.

Harmony is not aware of any risks to continued mining activities over the permitted mining rights’ areas, incorporated as Doornkop. In addition, no known risks are posed over surface access and activities, regarding mining related activities.

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 rea, 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 ZAR15m 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 2022 is 28.73Mt at 3.33g/t gold, containing 3.078Moz of gold, and the Inferred Mineral Resource contains 13.41Mt at 4.38g/t gold, containing 1.887Moz 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 13.80Mt of ore at 4.36g/t, containing 1.934Moz as at 30 June 2022.

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 positive cash flows. 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.

Technical Report Summary for
Doornkop Mine, Gauteng Province, South Africa
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.

Harmony has a good understanding of the environmental and social aspects through baseline and specialist studies previously conducted. Risk management and mitigation measures were adequately addressed in the environmental management plans.

The economics of Doornkop’s Mineral Reserve is based on the discounted cash flow model, with a spot price of above ZAR763,000/kg. The NPV for the spot metal price, is ZAR2.985Bn, at a discount rate of 9%. The NPV is calculated on cash flow that takes factors such as: 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. In addition, in response to challenges faced by companies during the COVID-19 pandemic, the government have implemented various stimulus packages to provide some tax relief to companies.

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. Each QP was responsible for specific sections of this TRS which they have personally supervised and reviewed.
