UPDATE ON WORK STOPPAGE AT IMPALA RUSTENBURG                                    
Implats wishes to advise that approximately 13 000 mining employees who         
participated in the illegal work stoppage at Impala Rustenburg which started    
on Monday, 30 January 2012, and who failed to return to work by the deadline    
of Wednesday, 1 February 2012, have been dismissed. This brings the total       
number of employees dismissed to in the region of 17 200.  A process of         
rehiring for those employees who wish to reapply for their positions will be    
undertaken in due course.                                                       
Further announcements will be made in due course.
