1 Impacted Mine Water Initiatives Jacques Cilliers Watercare Mining
On behalves of Melanie Vermaak

2 Strategic View On Water
Ability to Mine is Linked to Stewardship Credentials Water Stewardship is Key Credential Water is Strategic to Sustainable Business Business Continuity Business Sustainability Business Growth Water is an Asset and not a Liability Water is a Resource to be Actively Managed and Conserved Innovate For Sustainability and Success Harmony and Watercare Mining Formed Technical Partnership in 2015

3 Risks And Concerns Security of Sustainable Supply
Drought is Highlighting Business Risk Possible Reduction or Loss of Production Harmony Don’t Generate AMD, Do Impact on Water Quality Harmony Generate Excess Mine Impacted Water by Virtue of Mining Activities Mine Water Management is an ACTIVE Process

4 Initiatives Aggressively Reduce Consumption Footprint
Optimize Recycling Efforts Independence from 3rd party Service Providers Benefit Host Communities Benefit Nasional Reserve Current Projects 100% Reduction of Fresh / Potable Water at Doornkop 30% Reduction of Fresh / Potable Water in Carletonville 30% Reduction of Fresh / Potable Water in Welkom

5 Doornkop Project 5000m3/Day Impacted Underground Excess
Multi-Technology Plant AGF Filtration UF Filtration RO Desalinization GAG Filtration IX Heavy Metal Absorption 2 Products 2500m3/d - SANS Potable Water 1900m3/d- SANS Discharge into Environment RO Recovery - 85% & Plant Recovery - 78% Brine Disposed to Tailing Storage Facility

6 Doornkop Project

7 Welkom - Target Project
2000m3/Day Impacted Underground Excess Single Technology Plant AGF Filtration UF Filtration RO Desalinization 1400m3/d- SANS Potable Water RO Recovery - 85% Plant Recovery - 75% Brine Disposed to Tailing Storage Facility Construction At the End of the Year

8 Welkom – H1P Project 2140m3/Day Impacted Underground Excess
Single Technology Plant AGF Filtration UF Filtration RO Desalinization 1500m3/d- SANS Potable Water RO Recovery - 85% Plant Recovery - 75% Brine Disposed to Tailing Storage Facility Construction At the End of the Year

9 WCM – Mine Impacted Water Treatment
WCM Operate And Maintain 7 Advance Water Treatment Plants Treat 77000m3/d Impacted Mine Water Produce 27300m3/d SANS Potable Water Produce 43000m3/d Compliant Environmental Discharge Generate 6700m3/d of Waste Streams (23200kg/d) Waste Disposed of to Licensed Tailings Facilities

10 POTABLE WATER – U/G FISSURE WATER (Crystalactor® Softening) 5 MLD Build-Own-Operate

11 POTABLE WATER – U/G FISSURE WATER (IX Softening with Brine Recovery) 20 MLD Operate and Maintain

12 POTABLE WATER – TAILINGS RETURN WATER (Reverse Osmosis Desalination) 3
POTABLE WATER – TAILINGS RETURN WATER (Reverse Osmosis Desalination) 3.5 MLD Build-Own-Operate

13 AMD TREATMENT PLANT (WCM High Rate Settler) 50MLD Build-Own-Operate

14 Summary Harmony Gold Is committed to Water Stewardship
Water Stewardship is an Active Process Technology Exists to treat Mine Impacted Water Partnering in Industry is Cristal
