Notes to editors
Lonmin, which is listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange,
is one of the world's largest primary producers of PGMs. These metals are essential for many
industrial applications, especially catalytic converters for internal combustion engine emissions, as
well as their widespread use in jewellery.

Lonmin's operations are situated in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, where nearly 80% of
known global PGM resources are found.

The Company creates value for shareholders through mining, refining and marketing PGMs and
has a vertically integrated operational structure - from mine to market. Lonmin's mining
operations extract ore from which the Process Division produces refined PGMs for delivery to
customers. Underpinning the operations is the Shared Services function which provides high
quality levels of support and infrastructure across the operations.
