Wednesday, 12 November 2025. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony or the Company) is pleased to report its operational update for the three months ended 30 September 2025. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa Registration number: 1950/038232/06 JSE share code: HAR NYSE share code: HMY ISIN: ZAE000015228 ("Harmony" or "the Company") Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited | Operational Update for the three months ended 30 September 2025 1 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OVERVIEW Harmony delivered a solid operational performance in Q1FY26, driven by an improvement in safety, consistent operational excellence, higher recovered grades at Hidden Valley and a higher gold price received. We are encouraged to report a loss-of-life-free quarter – affirming that safe mines are profitable mines. As we continue Mining with Purpose, Harmony is on track to meet its FY26 production, cost and grade guidance. While gold remains our core focus, our copper expansion is a strategic move to enhance portfolio resilience, margin quality and long-term sustainability. On 24 October 2025, we completed the acquisition of MAC Copper, owner of the high-grade CSA mine in Cobar, Australia. We are delighted to welcome the CSA mine employees to Harmony. The completion of this landmark acquisition marks a significant milestone in our strategy to grow into a global gold and copper producer. Copper is essential to the global shift toward renewable energy infrastructure. Harmony’s growing copper portfolio reinforces our strategic role in enabling the energy transition, while positioning us to benefit from long-term structural demand. Whether investing in our own growth projects or pursuing value-accretive mergers and acquisitions, all opportunities are assessed through a disciplined lens that weighs potential returns against associated risks. Ultimately, every project competes for capital, and we will continue to allocate resources to those initiatives that deliver the greatest value for our stakeholders. Safety The health and safety of our people remain our top priority. Our long-term improvement in our safety performance reflects the success of our proactive programmes and robust safety infrastructure. As operators of some of the world’s deepest mines, we know this demands excellence at all times. We remain committed to zero harm through a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. In Q1FY26, our lost-time injury frequency rate improved to 4.29 from 5.57 in Q1FY25 – a positive trend, but the elimination of injuries and zero harm remains the goal. We continue embedding a safety-first mindset across all operations, ensuring every workplace is safe, compliant, and empowering. Other notable achievements this reporting period include: • South African operations achieved 3 million loss-of-life free shifts for the period under review • Five of our underground mines achieved millionaire status during the quarter, with Masimong recording over four million loss-of-life free shifts • Hidden Valley has operated for over 10 years without a loss of life. Revenue and average gold price received Gold revenue for the quarter rose 20% to R21 689 million (US$1 230 million) from R18 125 million (US$1 009 million) in Q1FY25, driven primarily by a 34% increase in the average gold price to R1 818 510/kg (US$3 209/oz) from R1 360 974/kg (US$2 356/oz). While the gold price remains outside our control, we continue to focus on factors within our influence: improving safety, maintaining disciplined mining practices, allocating capital effectively and sustaining rigorous cost management. • Progress on our Thibakotsi safety strategy resulted in a loss-of-life free quarter • Lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) at 4.29, and below 5.00 for second consecutive quarter • Immediate copper production added after successful acquisition of MAC Copper, owner of high-grade CSA copper mine, on 24 October 2025 • As planned, group gold production decreased by 8% to 12 128kg (389 923oz) from 13 131kg (422 172oz) and remains on track to meet full-year guidance • In line with plan, underground recovered grades decreased by 6% to 5.91g/t from 6.32g/t – above guidance, mainly due to steady high recovered grades of 10.54g/t at Mponeng • Hidden Valley generated R1.7 billion (US$94 million) in adjusted free cash flow1 as recovered grades increased significantly to 1.63g/t from 1.24g/t • As planned, 15% increase in group all-in sustaining costs (AISC) to R1 107 486/kg (US$1 954/oz) from R963 310/kg (US$1 667/oz) and below lower end of FY26 guidance range2 • 34% increase in average gold price received to R1 818 510/kg (US$3 209/oz) from R1 360 974/kg (US$2 356/oz) providing excellent tailwind • 20% increase in gold revenue to R21.7 billion (US$1.2 billion) from R18.1 billion (US$1.0 billion) • Strong, flexible balance sheet with net cash position increasing to R17.1 billion (US$989 million) and liquidity of R26.6 billion (US$1.5 billion) in cash and undrawn facilities at the end of the first quarter • 10 megalitre per day feed capacity reverse osmosis water treatment plant at Tau Tona was commissioned in July 2025 1 Adjusted free cash flow = revenue – cash operating cost – capital expenditure +- impact of run-of-mine as per operating results 2 For Q1FY26 royalties accounted for R60 000/kg (US$106/oz) or 5% of AIS. In Q1FY25, it was R37 400/kg (US$65/oz) or 4% Unless otherwise indicated, all currency conversions for this reporting period are at the average exchange rate of R17.63/US$1 (Q1FY25: R17.97/US$1) Please note that financial information has not been reviewed or audited by the Company's external auditors.

In line with plan, group production for Q1FY26 declined 8% to 12 128kg (389 923oz) compared to 13 131kg (422 172oz) in Q1FY25. Doornkop's production declined year-on-year as a result of shaft water-handling constraints, which have now been resolved. Production at Moab Khotsong declined by 20% year-on-year due to challenging ground conditions and fluctuating face grades as we mine out the middle mine, as planned. Compared to Q4FY25, production increased quarter-on-quarter by 6%, driven by an 8% rise in total tonnes milled and improved operational momentum across the portfolio. Recovered grades While underground recovered grades decreased by 6% to 5.91g/t from 6.32g/t in the comparable reporting period, this is in line with plan and we remain ahead of the guided 5.80g/t for FY26. Recovered grades at Mponeng remained steady at 10.54g/t compared to 10.70g/t in Q1FY25. Hidden Valley continues to deliver exceptional results with recovered grades increasing by 31% to 1.63g/t from 1.24g/t in Q1FY25. Balance sheet and hedging Our balance sheet remains strong, with net cash increasing by 53% in the first quarter to R17.1 billion (US$989 million) from R11.1 billion (US$628 million) as at 30 June 2025. Liquidity also improved, with cash and available undrawn facilities rising 27% to R26.6 billion (US$1.5 billion) since 30 June 2025. This performance reflects robust operating free cash flow, margin improvements across all operations, and the benefit of a high rand gold price, reinforcing our financial flexibility to support growth and resilience. The acquisition of MAC Copper has been successfully funded through a combination of cash, existing credit facilities and a US$1.25 billion bridge loan. We have drawn down only 70%, or US$875 million from the bridge facility, and elected to fund the balance of the acquisition price and related costs from cash balances. Following the completion of the transaction, our net debt to EBITDA ratio remains comfortably below our internal threshold of 1.0x, underscoring our disciplined approach to capital management and balance sheet strength. The structure of debt instruments used to fund our major projects is under review and will enable Harmony to optimise its balance sheet while matching its funding profile to its cash flow generation. We will provide further guidance at our H1FY26 results update. We remain well positioned to advance our life-of-mine extension projects in South Africa and at Hidden Valley, while integrating the CSA mine into the Harmony portfolio. In parallel, we continue to advance Eva Copper and remain fully committed to permitting Wafi-Golpu – our transformational copper-gold growth projects. Our confidence in future cash flows, combined with a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation, places us in a strong position to deliver shareholder returns while pursuing long-term growth. The record gold prices have provided an excellent opportunity to replace maturing hedges with new ones as they expire, locking in excellent margins in-line with our hedging policy. During the quarter, the gold hedge book was maintained at between 10% and 30% of production over a rolling 36-month period. The average floor and ceiling price on our rand gold zero cost collar book of 484 000oz stood at R1 820 000/kg and R2 062 000/kg respectively. The longer dated maturities reflect higher protection levels being locked in off the recently higher spot gold price. Costs Costs remain well controlled, with increases aligned to plan and below mining inflation, reflecting disciplined cost management. Total cash operating costs, net of by-product credits, increased by 6% to R11 260 million (US$639 million) from R10 673 million, mainly due to higher royalties, increased contractor costs and annual electricity inflation. Royalty payments in South Africa are calculated on a sliding scale based on both revenue and profitability. During Q1FY26, these royalties increased to R716 million (US$41 million), representing 6% of total cash operating costs, compared to R496 million (US$28 million), or 4% of total cash operating costs in the comparable reporting period. Cash operating cost per kilogram increased 14% year-on-year to R928 439/kg (US$1 638/oz) from R812 811/kg (US$1 407/oz), mainly due to lower planned production alongside the above-mentioned increases. Year-on-year, AISC rose 15% to R1 107 486/kg (US$1 954/oz) from R963 310/kg (US$1 667/oz) in Q1FY25. This is in line with guidance and reflects the increase in sustaining capital as previously guided. Sequentially, AISC increased by only 3% compared to Q4FY25, supported by higher tonnes milled and improved production. Hidden Valley delivered a standout performance, reducing its AISC by 16% to R773 566/kg (US$1 365/oz). The improved recovered grades and enhanced operational efficiency were key drivers of the performance alongside higher silver prices and resultant increase in by-product credits. All-in costs (AIC) increased by 19% to R1 218 721/kg (US$2 150/oz) from R1 026 004/kg (US$1 776/oz) in Q1FY25 due to the investment in our major projects. Capital expenditure and projects Group capital expenditure rose 31% to R2 873 million (US$163 million) from R2 191 million, reflecting investment in high-return, long-life projects and ongoing development capital across our underground mines to maintain flexibility. The increase was primarily due to the life-of-mine extensions at Mponeng, Moab Khotsong and Hidden Valley, as well as the 100MW solar project at Moab Khotsong to reduce long-term energy costs, derisk energy supply and lower our carbon footprint. Construction of the 100MW solar plant remains on track for completion by the end of calendar year 2026, moving us closer to our net carbon-zero target by 2045. A 10 megalitre per day feed capacity reverse osmosis water treatment plant at Tau Tona was commissioned in July 2025, contributing to our 2034 water ambition target. While contractor and trackless mobile machinery challenges have delayed progress at Mponeng and Moab Khotsong, these timelines are incorporated into our life-of-mine plans. Studies have also commenced at Tshepong North to determine the feasibility of extending mine life by approximately six years. Our disciplined capital deployment strategy focuses on projects that deliver solid returns and sustainable long-term value, positioning Harmony to fund growth initiatives such as Eva Copper while maintaining financial strength.
MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER continued Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited | Operational Update for the three months ended 30 September 2025 3 MAC Copper acquisition CSA is a long-life, mechanised underground copper mine located in a Tier-1 mining jurisdiction. This asset will meaningfully enhance our business and support our long-term growth. Harmony’s FY27 planning parameters will be integrated into the CSA life-of-mine planning process, ensuring alignment with the disciplined and consistent approach applied across our broader portfolio. OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE Our operations are grouped into four distinct quadrants, each with its own plan, risk profile and strategy. This ensures we deliver as guided, and extract the absolute best from our assets. Our overall operational performance this quarter was supported by continued exceptional performances at Mponeng and Hidden Valley. South African underground high-grade operations Adjusted free cash flows from Mponeng and Moab Khotsong increased by 3% to R2 819 million (US$160 million) from R2 729 million (US$152 million) in Q1FY25. The performance was underpinned by another strong operational performance from Mponeng where adjusted free cash flows increased by 23% to R2 257 million (US$128 million) from R1 842 million (US$103 million) in the comparable quarter. Production declined by 14% to 4 211kg mainly as a result of lower recovered grades at Moab Khotsong which declined by 18% to 7.25g/t from 8.84g/t year on year. Mponeng's recovered grades remained high and steady at 10.54g/t.

Preliminary site works are underway, supported by a conditional grant from the Queensland Government. The feasibility study update is largely complete, with front-end engineering and design advancing. We are engaging with the Queensland Government to secure a power solution aligned with both the Project’s needs and the state’s long-term energy roadmap. Eva Copper’s designation as a Prescribed Project supports our application to amend its Environmental Authority. Upon completion of the feasibility update, expected before the end of the 2025 calendar year, Harmony’s Board will consider a Final Investment Decision. Current declared Mineral Resources stand at 366Mt @ 0.4% Cu (1.47Mt copper) and 196Mt @ 0.07g/t Au (440 000oz gold), reinforcing Eva Copper’s scale and strategic importance. Wafi-Golpu Discussions between Harmony, our joint venture partner Newmont Corporation and the Papua New Guinea Government to secure the special mining lease are continuing. ANNUAL PRODUCTION, COST AND GRADE GUIDANCE While we are only one quarter into FY26, we are confident of achieving our annual guidance of: • 1 400 000 to 1 500 000oz in total production • AISC of between R1 150 000/kg to R1 220 000/kg • underground grade of above 5.80g/t Updated production guidance, including forecasts for CSA mine and its contribution, will be provided with the release of the interim results scheduled for late February or early March 2026. CONCLUSION An improving safety culture, balanced capital allocation, operational flexibility and stringent cost controls remain the foundation of our commitment to long-term value creation for shareholders and stakeholders. Our strategy remains gold-first, with copper as a complementary metal. We continue to unlock value through reserve conversion and disciplined, value-accretive mergers and acquisitions. Harmony’s 136Moz Mineral Resource and 37Moz Mineral Reserve base support a stable gold production profile of 1.4Moz to 1.5Moz annually for over 20 years. Reserve conversion opportunities, especially at current gold prices, offer further upside. The integration of CSA mine and advancement of Eva Copper will strengthen medium-term resilience – timeously mitigating the Moab Khotsong ore gap. Pending the approval of Eva Copper, copper production of approximately 100 000 tonnes per year is expected within three to five years, enhancing margins and diversifying cash flow. We remain focused on delivering consistent, long-term returns while building a resilient and future-ready portfolio. Thank you.
