ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM UPDATE

Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo American Platinum”) would
like to provide an update following yesterday’s announcement that
we have suspended our Rustenburg platinum operations, to protect
the safety of our employees.

Anglo American Platinum confirms that a number of its employees
joined others at a gathering today in the Bleskop stadium in
Rustenburg and that the gathering is now dispersing. During today,
Anglo American Platinum’s management team in Rustenburg has
received a memorandum from a small group of its employees. The
memorandum is the same as the one received in mid-July at
Thembelani   and  Khuseleka   mines.   Approximately 300 Khuseleka
employees presented that memorandum to the Commission for
Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) two weeks ago and a
hearing is scheduled for 25 September.

We continue to monitor closely the situation across all of our
Rustenburg operations with a focus on ensuring the continued
safety of our people and will provide further updates as
appropriate.
