Briefing on wages for South African Press

Lonmin is today issuing two documents to the press in South Africa.

The first is an announcement providing additional background for journalists on the history of the
labour dispute and its settlement. The other is a fact sheet for journalists with additional insight into
the terms of the settlement. This includes a preliminary assessment that Lonmin's wage bill is
expected to rise by about 14% from 1st October, 2012.

Both documents are available on Lonmin's web site at

Notes to editors

About Lonmin:
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.
