Lonmin Plc ("the Company") confirms that, as previously planned and announced,  
Alan Ferguson will hand over his responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer to 
Simon Scott with effect from the close of business today.  This is one of the   
last steps in the transition of Lonmin`s operational management from London to  
South Africa, which has progressed smoothly and in line with our expectations.  
Simon joined the board on 27 September 2010 as an executive director.  He brings
considerable local knowledge and relevant experience of financial management    
gained at senior levels of the South African platinum mining industry.  Alan    
will remain as an executive director of the Company until his employment ends on
31 December 2010.                                                               
Roger Phillimore, Chairman of Lonmin commented:                                 
"The Board of Lonmin would like to acknowledge the significant role which Alan  
Ferguson has played and will continue to play until his departure on 31 December
2010. This is a very different Company from the one he joined three and a half  
years ago and a large part of the credit for this transformation should go to   
him.  He will leave with our gratitude and best wishes for the future."         
This announcement is pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.11 R (3).
