Pursuant to DTR 3.1.4 R, Lonmin Plc (the "Company") confirms that nil cost      
awards were made on 3 August 2011 under the Company`s Long Term Incentive Plan  
("LTIP") to Ian Farmer, Chief Executive Officer, Simon Scott, Chief Financial   
Officer, and the PDMRs listed below.                                            
The LTIP awards made to Ian Farmer and Simon Scott are wholly subject to the    
satisfaction of a performance condition, the basis of which is unchanged from   
that used in 2010, comprising:                                                  
(1) the measurement of sustained and broad-based operational performance using  
the Company`s Balanced Scorecard averaged over three years; and                 
(2) 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.                                                          
The operational targets support the delivery of the company`s medium term       
targets, as disclosed in the Company`s annual report and the methodology of the 
performance condition is similarly explained more fully in the remuneration     
report in the annual report.

years, in line with South African practice. The remaining 50% is subject to     
satisfaction of the same performance condition as described above.
