Anglo American Platinum strengthening engagement with the Department of Mineral
Resources
Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo American Platinum” or “the Company) yesterday held
constructive discussions with the Department of Mineral Resources (“DMR”) following the
Company’s announcement of its business review proposals on Tuesday 15 January 2013. The
Minister of Mineral Resources, Ms Susan Shabangu, and the CEO of Anglo American Platinum,

days to discuss the business review proposals and to determine how they can best work
together to achieve their shared objective for the benefit of all stakeholders.
This engagement will proceed in parallel with the consultation process that has already
commenced under Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act. There will also be continuing
discussions in relation to the economic challenges facing the platinum industry as a whole as
part of the MIGDETT (Mining Industry Growth Development and Employment Task Team)
process.

continuing engagement with Minister Shabangu and her team in order to reach our shared
objective of creating a sustainable, competitive and profitable platinum business for the benefit
of all stakeholders and for South Africa.”
Updates on the progress of the engagement will be provided, as appropriate.
