LONMIN EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT

16 August 2012

It is with regret that the Company must announce that Ian Farmer, the Chief Executive
Officer, has been diagnosed with a serious illness and is presently in hospital. The Board, on
behalf of the entire Company, wishes him a full and speedy recovery. Our thoughts are with
Ian and his family at this difficult time.

In Ian’s absence the day-to-day business of the Company will be the responsibility of the
Executive Committee (Exco) under the temporary leadership of Roger Phillimore. In
addition, Mohamed Seedat, a director of the business and until 2010 the Chief Operating
Officer of Lonmin, will join the Exco to provide added support.

Notes to editors

About Lonmin:
1. Lonmin, which is listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange, is one of the world’s largest primary producers of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs).
These metals are essential for many industrial applications, especially catalytic converters
for internal combustion engine emissions, as well as their widespread use in jewellery.
Lonmin’s operations are situated in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, where nearly 80%
of global PGM resources are found.

The Company creates value for shareholders through mining, refining and marketing PGMs
and has a vertically integrated operational structure – from mine to market. Lonmin’s
mining operations extract ore from which the Process Division produces refined PGMs for
delivery to customers. Underpinning the operations is the Shared Services function which
provides high quality levels of support and infrastructure across the operations.
