ILLEGAL INDUSTRIAL ACTION - PILANSBURG PLATINUM MINE ("PPM")                    
MCC Contracts (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Eqstra Holdings Limited, advises that  
on Thursday, 23 June 2011 certain employees at their PPM mine site have embarked
on illegal industrial action.                                                   
Striking employees have disrupted mining activities by intimidating supervisors 
and damaging property and equipment.                                            
Management called for the assistance of the South African Police Services to    
safeguard employees, prevent further damage and stabilise the situation.        
The company is working with Platmin Limited to resolve matters and further      
announcements will be made in due course.
