Exhibit 99.(a)(66)

(GOLD FIELDS LOGO)

Harmony’s offer significantly undervalues Gold Fields. It offers only overvalued Harmony shares, no cash and too low a premium. Do not give away the value in your Gold Fields shares. Do not tender your shares.

But don’t just take our word for it.

Perhaps some “credible, independent endorsement”* from
Institutional Shareholder Services#
would settle the debate:

“Due to the fact that this is a share swap offer with no cash component, and taking into account the volatility of Harmony’s share price, we believe this offer does not adequately reflect Gold Fields’ value.

“This offer structure could allow Harmony to exercise control over Gold Fields even if it does not bid for the whole company, or, if there is limited tendering, Harmony would be left with a disruptive minority stake in Gold Fields. We believe that such a structure is not in the interests of Gold Fields’ shareholders.

“Based on the current offer level, the offer structure, and concerns over disclosure, we do not believe the current tender offer is in the interest of Gold Fields’ shareholders.

REJECT HARMONY. KEEP YOUR OPTIONS OPEN.
DO NOT TENDER YOUR SHARES.
