 GENERAL MEETING - VOTING RESULT

 Lonmin Plc (“Lonmin” or the “Company”) announces that a General Meeting was held today, 19
 November 2012 in relation to the Proposed Rights Issue.

 At the suggestion of a shareholder, the Chairman called for a minute’s silence to reflect on the tragic
 events at the Company’s Marikana mine in August and September 2012, and to remember those
 who lost their lives, their families, friends and colleagues.

 The resolution to empower the board to allot shares was considered by shareholders by means of a
 poll vote and duly adopted. Votes were cast by the holders of some 77.7% of the Company’s equity,
 as set out below:

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.
