TRADING STATEMENT                                                               
Anglo American Platinum Limited is currently finalising its results for the six 
months ended 30 June 2011 ("the period"), which will be released on SENS on 25  
July 2011. Basic earnings per share for the period are expected to be similar to
those for  the six months ended 30 June 2010 ("the comparative period"), in     
which an after tax profit of R771 million (310 cents per share) was earned on   
the disposal of the Group`s 37% interest in the Western Bushveld Joint Venture. 
Headline earnings per share ("HEPS") for the period are expected to increase to 
be between 1,131 and 1,336 cents from the HEPS of 1,028 cents reported for the  
comparative period.                                                             
The expected increase in headline earnings is primarily due to higher Rand      
prices achieved on metals sold and higher sales volumes.                        
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been 
reviewed and reported on by the Company`s external auditors.
