Regulatory Release - Fatality at Saffy Shaft

It is with deep regret that Lonmin Plc (“the Company”) announces that an employee was fatally
injured in a fall of ground incident at the Company’s Saffy shaft yesterday. An investigation is
currently underway.

Management and the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) have stopped all stoping and
development operations at Saffy shaft. Production activities will remain suspended until that
investigation, which is being undertaken in partnership with all stakeholders, is complete.

CEO Ben Magara said: "We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of our
colleague. Safety is our priority. We are working with the relevant authorities and all stakeholders to
establish the cause of this tragic accident.”

Notes to editors

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 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
known 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.
