Pursuant to DTR 3.1.4 R, Lonmin Plc (the "Company") confirms that a nil cost    
award was made under the Company`s Long Term Incentive Plan (an "LTIP Award") on
29 September 2010 to Simon Scott, who joined the Board as an executive director 
on 27 September 2010.                                                           
The LTIP Award is over 20,434 shares and is wholly subject to the satisfaction  
of a performance condition, which comprises the following:                      
1)   one half of the LTIP Award is subject to the Company`s Total Shareholder   
    Return over a three year period relative to the median of a group           
    comprising the Company`s five direct peers producing Platinum Group Metals; 
and                                                                         
2)   the other half is subject to the measurement of sustained and broad-based  
    operational performance over three years.  The operational targets will     
    support the delivery of the company`s medium term targets, as disclosed in  
the Company`s Annual Report.   The methodology of the new performance       
    condition will be explained fully in the remuneration report for the year   
    ended 30 September 2010, expected to be published in early December.
