INDUSTRIAL ACTION AT EVEREST                                                    
Aquarius Platinum Limited ("Aquarius") advises that a protected strike          
by certain employees of Murray & Roberts Cementation (Proprietary)              
Limited ("MRC"), a mining contractor to Aquarius Platinum (South                
Africa) (Proprietary) Limited ("AQPSA"), is underway at AQPSA`s Everest         
Mine. The strike has been called by the Association of Mining and               
Construction Unions ("AMCU"), which is demanding full organizational            
rights from MRC in terms of the South African Labour Relations Act.             
This is a technical dispute between AMCU and MRC, and no demands are            
being made by AMCU of Aquarius or its subsidiaries. Further                     
announcements will be made as developments occur.
