DIRECTORATE CHANGE
Lonmin Plc (the “Company”) today announces the appointment of Brian Beamish as an independent
non-executive director of the Company, with effect from 1 November 2013.
Mr Beamish (56) was, until September 2013, the Group Director Mining and Technology of Anglo
American plc, at the culmination of a 36 year career with that group. His previous roles included
four years as Operations Director of Anglo Platinum and working as COO and subsequently CEO of
Anglo American’s global Base Metals business. A graduate in mechanical engineering from the
University of the Witwatersrand and of the PMD programme at Harvard Business School, he has
career-long experience of the mining industry, largely gained in operational roles in South Africa and
latterly in other parts of the world, particularly South America. He has dual British and South
African citizenship.
Mr Beamish was a director of JSE-listed Anglo American Platinum Limited from May 2010 to 30
September 2013. In accordance with the Listing Rules, Lonmin confirms that there are no additional
matters that would require disclosure under LR 9.6.13 R (1) to (6). Mr Beamish does not have any
direct beneficial interests in Lonmin ordinary shares of $1 each.
Roger Phillimore, Chairman of Lonmin said “I am delighted that Brian has agreed to join our Board.
His experience and deep knowledge of mining, particularly in a South African context, will add
considerably to our Board discussions and I look forward to the contribution that he will undoubtedly
make to the development of Lonmin”.

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.
