Anglo American Platinum update
Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo American Platinum” or “the
company”) is providing an update in respect of its Rustenburg
operations following resumption of those operations on Tuesday 18
September 2012.
As announced on Wednesday 19 September, the current industrial
action is illegal and Anglo American Platinum has given notice to
its employees that they are required to return to work. The
company continues to be disappointed with the low turnout rate at
its Rustenburg mines which are currently reporting less than 20%
attendance. The company continues to urge employees to return to
work and requires that they do so by no later than the night shift
on Monday 24 September failing which legal avenues will be
pursued.
The increase in police visibility and action has created an
environment conducive for our employees to return to work and
isolated incidents of intimidation and violence are being dealt
with.
Anglo American Platinum’s Rustenburg mining operations are already
under considerable economic pressure.
We continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide
further information once attendance rates are available on 25
September.
