Harmony Gold issued statement by email to GATA supporters of YES. Subj: GATA - Harmony Gold to GATA Supporters Date: 1/11/01 From: LePatron @ LeMetropoleCafe.com To: dougagatanut @ GataNutHouse.usa From GATA Secretary/Treasurer Chris Powell: Dear Friend of GATA and Gold: Harmony Gold today issued a wonderfully encouraging statement by email to GATA supporters who had written to the company in support of our cause. The statement is being posted all over the Internet already, so I'll attach it below. It shows that Harmony believes in its product and is willing to take a leadership position in the industry and the developing world. It promises a good reception for GATA Chairman Bill Murphy and consultant/litigant Reginald H. Howe, as they prepare to travel to South Africa this month. It shows that all of us can make a difference, no matter our position or resources. Even people who can't afford to make a financial contribution can make a contribution of activism, and the latter contribution can be just as substantial. That was GATA's point when we were founded in 1999. We believed that a free market in gold could be established and gold restored to its traditional monetary function if only gold investors, the gold industry and its employees, and those who believe in free markets stopped complaining idly to themselves and started to DO something to correct the injustice we saw. If we can get the active support of South Africa -- the industry, the workers, and the government -- we can sustain our lawsuit and expand our agitation against the manipulators, and, I'm confident, win out. With South Africa behind us, we'll be impossible to stop, and the justice of our cause will become clearer throughout the world. So thanks to Harmony for its support, and thanks so much to those friends who wrote to the company on behalf of our cause. Remember always: We are not alone, and all of us can do SOMETHING! CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc. * * * STATEMENT BY HARMONY GOLD, JANUARY 10, 2001 Dear GATA Supporters: Thank you for your e-mails on the good work that has been undertaken by GATA over the last few years. As you know, our company has been supportive of GATA and similar interventions that have the best interests of the gold industry at heart. We have assisted in various methods of support in the GATA initiatives. Harmony, as one of the four unhedged major producers left in the gold mining industry, has a lot to gain from an increased gold price. Any initiative that can assist in correcting the imbalance in the gold price needs all the support we can give it. Representatives of the company will be meeting with representatives from GATA during the Cape Town Indaba conference to discuss their initiatives further. I do hope the above assists in indicating our support of this important initiative from GATA. Please contact me should you have any additional queries.
