TRADING STATEMENT


Anglo American Platinum is currently preparing its results for the

six months ending 30 June 2012 (a''the perioda''), which will be
released on SENS on or about 23 July 2012.


Anglo American Platinuma''s earnings for the period is expected to

decrease by more than 20% from that reported in the six month

period ended 30 June 2011 (a''the comparative perioda''). However, in

view of volatility in exchange rates and metal prices, Anglo

American Platinum cannot, with reasonable certainty, quantify the

extent of the decrease in expected earnings other than that the
decrease is expected to be more than 20%.


The expected decrease in earnings is primarily as a result of

lower sales volumes and lower metal prices achieved compared to
the comparative period.


Shareholders are advised that a further trading statement will be

issued in due course to provide earnings forecast ranges for

earnings per share and headline earnings per share as required by
the JSE Listing requirements.


The forecast financial information on which this trading statement

is based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Companya''s
external auditors.
