(”Atlatsa” or the “Company”)

MARKET UPDATE AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on the Securities
Exchange News Service on 2 February 2012, 3 May 2012 and 14 June 2012
respectively, relating to the agreement of the key terms in respect of a
transaction to restructure, recapitalise and refinance Atlatsa and the
Bokoni group of companies (“Bokoni group”) (the “Restructure Plan”).

The new management team at Bokoni Platinum Mines (“Bokoni”), led by Mr
Dawid Stander, is making significant progress in implementing the
turnaround strategy at Bokoni. In addition, a number of opportunities to
optimize and enhance the operational plan underpinning the Restructure
Plan have been identified and these opportunities are currently under
consideration by Atlatsa and Anglo American Platinum Ltd (“the Bokoni
review”).

The parties are not contemplating closure of the Bokoni operations, as
Bokoni represents a Tier 1 ore body on the Eastern Limb of the Bushveld
Complex, earmarked for expansion into the future with two significant
ramp-up projects currently in progress.

In light of the Bokoni review the Restructure Plan will not be finalised
by July, 2012 as originally contemplated and a revised timetable for
implementation will be published once the Bokoni review process is
completed.

Shareholders are advised that the parties are still in the process of
completing definitive transaction agreements relating to the Restructure
Plan.

Once all definitive transaction agreements have been finalised the Company
will publish the financial effects of the Restructure Plan and post its
circular   to   shareholders   seeking   necessary   approvals   for   its
implementation.

A further announcement will be released on the Securities Exchange News
Service, filed on SEDAR and EDGAR, and published in the South African
press, as soon as the financial effects have been finalized, and the
definitive transaction agreements have been executed.
