ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM UPDATE – RUSTENBURG OPERATIONS TO RESUME
ON TUESDAY

Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo American Platinum”) is
providing an update on the suspension of Rustenburg Operations
announced on 12 September 2012. The company took the swift
decision to suspend operations in the Rustenburg area to protect
the safety and security of its employees until such time as
operations could be safely resumed.

The situation in Rustenburg remains calm and our current intention
is to resume operations on Tuesday morning, 18 September, which
will provide time for the government to implement further security
measures. As we expect it will be possible for our employees to
return to work safely on Tuesday, the paid suspension period will
end on Monday evening.

Chris Griffith, Chief Executive Officer of Anglo American Platinum
said: “We wish to thank our employees for their support and co-
operation during this challenging time and commend the government
and our key local stakeholders in helping to restore calm to the
Rustenburg area. We are encouraged that our employees will be able
to return to work safely on Tuesday.”

We continue to monitor the situation closely and the safety of our
employees remains a priority.

Further updates will be provided as appropriate.
