Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except number of shares and per share
amounts - unaudited)
1. Nature of operations
Eastern Platinum Limited (the "Company") is a platinum group metal ("PGM")
producer engaged in the mining, exploration and development of PGM properties
located in various provinces in South Africa.
Eastern Platinum Limited is a publicly listed company incorporated in Canada
with limited liability under the legislation of the Province of British
Columbia. The Company`s shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange,
Alternative Investment Market, and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
The head office, principal address and records office of the Company are located
at 1075 West Georgia Street, Suite 250, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E

2. Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, including
comparatives, have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and in accordance with
International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the
estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of
the revision and further periods if the review affects both current and future
periods.
Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS that have a significant
effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of
material adjustment in the current and following fiscal years are discussed in
Notes 4(v) and 4(w) of the Company`s audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2010.
3. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted new and revised International
Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") that were issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The application of these new and revised
IFRSs has not had any material impact on the amounts reported for the current
and prior years but may affect the accounting for future transactions or
arrangements.
(a) Amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation
Rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the Company`s equity
instruments for a fixed amount of any currency will be allowed to be classified
as equity instruments so long as the Company offers the rights, options or
warrants pro rata to all of the Company`s existing owners of the same class of
the Company`s non-derivative equity instruments.
3. Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards
(continued)
(b) Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations
Clarification that the contingent consideration arising in a business
combination previously accounted for in accordance with IFRS 3 that is
outstanding at the adoption date continues to be accounted for in accordance
with IFRS 3.
Limiting the accounting policy choice to measure non-controlling interests upon
initial recognition at fair value or at the non-controlling interest`s
proportionate share of the acquiree`s identifiable net assets to instruments
that give rise to a present ownership interest and that currently entitle the
holder to a share of net assets in the event of liquidation.
Expansion of the guidance with regards to the attribution of the market-based
measure of an acquirer`s share-based payment awards issued in exchange for
acquiree awards.
(c) Amendments to IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
Clarification that the amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign
Exchange Rates, IAS 28 Investments in Associates, and IAS 31 Interests in Joint
Ventures resulting from IAS 27 should be applied prospectively, except for
amendments resulting from renumbering.
(d) Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Amendment to disclosure requirements, specifically, ensuring qualitative
disclosures are made in close proximity to quantitative disclosures in order to
better enable financial statement users to evaluate an entity`s exposure to
risks arising from financial instruments.
(e) Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
Clarification that the breakdown of changes in equity resulting from
transactions recognized in other comprehensive income is required to be
presented in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial
statements.
(f) Amendments to IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
Amendment of the definition for related parties.
(g) Amendments to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
Addition of further examples of events or transactions that require disclosure
and removal of references to materiality when discussing other minimum
disclosures.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies
The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and
practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited
consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2010. The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company`s audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2010.
(a) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, five new standards were issued
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(a) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective (continued)
(i) IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
IFRS 10 outlines the principles for the presentation and preparation of
consolidated financial statements.
(ii) IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements
IFRS 11 defines the two types of joint arrangements (joint operations and joint
ventures) and outlines how to determine the type of joint arrangement entered
into and the principles for accounting for each type of joint arrangement.
(iii) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
IFRS 12 outlines the disclosures required in order to provide users of financial
statements with the information necessary to evaluate an entity`s interest in
other entities, the corresponding risks related to those interests and the
effects of those interests on the entity`s financial position, financial
performance and cash flows.
(iv) IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
IFRS 13 defines fair value, summarizes the methods of determining fair value and
outlines the required fair value disclosures. IFRS 13 is utilized when another
IFRS standard requires or allows fair value measurements or disclosures about
fair value measurements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, two standards were amended with
the amendments effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,

IAS 27 outlines the accounting principles to be applied with regards to
investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity elects
or is required by local regulations to present separate, non-consolidated,
financial statements. The previous standard was titled IAS 27 Consolidated and
Separate Financial Statements.
(ii) IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
IAS 28 outlines the accounting treatment and corresponding application of the
equity method of accounting in investments in associates and joint ventures. The
previous standard was titled IAS 28 Investments in Associates.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
(b) Accounting standards amended but not yet effective
The Company has not early adopted these standards and is currently assessing the
impact that these standards will have on the consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IAS 27 and IAS 28 cannot be early adopted on a stand-alone
basis and may only be early adopted as a group along with IFRS 12. Early
adoption must be disclosed.
IFRS 12 disclosure is encouraged prior to adoption of the standard. This early
disclosure does not require the entity to apply IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IAS 27 or IAS
28. IFRS 13 may be early adopted on a stand-alone basis so long as this fact is
disclosed and the standard is applied prospectively as at the beginning of the
annual reporting period in which the standard is initially applied.

Finance leases relate to mining vehicles with lease terms of 5 years payable
half yearly in advance. The Company has the option to purchase the vehicles for
a nominal amount at the conclusion of the lease agreements. The Company`s
obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessor`s title to the leased
assets. Interest is calculated at the South African prime rate plus 1%. The
finance leases are repayable in full in December 2011. The fair value of the
finance lease liabilities approximated carrying value.
(a) Minimum lease payments

13. Provision for environmental rehabilitation
Although the ultimate amount of the environmental rehabilitation provision is
uncertain, the fair value of these obligations is based on information currently
available, including closure plans and applicable regulations. Significant
closure activities include land rehabilitation, demolition of buildings and mine
facilities and other costs.
The provision for environmental rehabilitation at September 30, 2011 is
approximately ZAR 62.5 million ($7,723). The provision was determined using
an inflation rate of 5.49% (December 31, 2010 - 5.49%) and an estimated
life of mine of 20 years for Zandfontein (December 31, 2010 - 20 years), 11
years for Maroelabult (December 31, 2010 - 11 years), 14 years for Crocette
(December 31, 2010 - 14 years), 1 year for Kennedy`s Vale (December 31, 2010 - 1
year) and 22 years for Spitzkop (December 31, 2010 - 22 years). A discount rate
of 8.29% was used (December 31, 2010 - 8.29%). A guarantee of $7,671 (December
31, 2010 - $3,823) has been issued to the Department of Mineral Resources (Note
10). The guarantee will be utilized to cover expenses incurred to rehabilitate
the mining area upon closure of the mine. The undiscounted value of this
liability is approximately ZAR 215.4 million ($26,606).

22. Contingency
In June 2011, the Company became aware that the law firm of Siskinds LLP of
London, Ontario, had filed a "Notice of Application" under the Class Action
Proceedings Act, 1992, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the
Company and three of its directors and officers. The Notice of Application seeks
permission of the Court to grant leave or permission to commence a lawsuit under
the Securities Act of Ontario and other provinces in respect to certain alleged
breaches of disclosure obligations. In July 2011, the Company and its officers
and directors were served with court documents. The Company believes the
proposed action has no merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend the
action.
23. Events after the reporting period
There were no events that required adjustment to, or disclosure in, the
financial statements after the reporting period from October 1, 2011 to November
9, 2011.
