Anglo American Platinum Update
Anglo American Platinum Limited (“Anglo American Platinum”) is providing an update in respect to its
Rustenburg operations, following the resumption of those operations on Tuesday 18 September 2012.
The security situation in the Rustenburg area worsened during Monday evening (1 October 2012). As a
result, Anglo American Platinum advised employees at its Rustenburg mining operations not to attend work
yesterday. It is intended to resume operation on the day shift today 3 October 2012.
Disciplinary action is continuing against employees who have been on strike, in accordance with Anglo
American Platinum’s previous announcements.
Separately, employees at Anglo American Platinum’s Union Mine in Limpopo Province, to the northwest of
Rustenburg, have reported for work yesterday but have refused to go underground for their shifts and have
presented a memorandum to the mine’s management. The company has obtained an interdict against the
employees and this action has been declared illegal and employees have been duly informed to return to
work this morning.
Anglo American Platinum’s other operations all continue to operate normally.
Further updates will be provided when appropriate.
