Trading statement for the six months ended 30 June 2013

In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited ("JSE"), a listed
company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a reasonable
degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported upon next will
differ by at least 20% from those of the previous corresponding period.

RBPlat is in the process of finalising its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2013.
The company advises that it anticipates earnings per share ("EPS") and headline earnings per
share ("HEPS") for the six months ended 30 June 2013, to be between 83 cents and 92 cents,
compared to an EPS and HEPS of 43 cents for the previous corresponding period (the six
months ended 30 June 2012).

Normalised EPS for the six months ended 30 June 2013, after adjusting for an additional
amortisation and depreciation charge related to a fair value adjustment, are anticipated to be
between 102 cents and 111 cents compared to Normalised EPS of 62 cents for the previous
corresponding period.

The expected increase in EPS, HEPS and Normalised EPS is primarily due to higher realised
revenue basket prices together with sustained production and cost containment during the first
half of 2013.

RBPlat expects to release its interim results on or about 12 August 2013.

The information set out in this announcement has not yet been reviewed and reported on by the
company's external auditors.
