          Eastplats: Independent Proxy Advisor ISS Recommends that Shareholders
                               Vote For Incumbent Directors

VANCOUVER, June 21, 2016 – Eastern Platinum Limited (“Eastplats” or the “Company”) today
reported that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) has recommended that shareholders
vote the YELLOW proxy FOR the incumbent directors of Eastplats.

ISS is a leading independent corporate governance and proxy advisory firm that provides proxy
voting recommendations to institutional shareholders. The independent recommendations of ISS
are intended to assist shareholders in making choices regarding proxy voting decisions.

ISS made its recommendation after carefully reviewing the public record and took note that one
and possibly two dissidents have said they may contest the election. As neither of the dissidents has
filed a definitive dissident proxy to date, ISS did not comment on the dissidents.

Eastplats urges shareholders to vote the YELLOW proxy FOR the incumbent board prior to the
proxy voting deadline of 10:00 AM (Vancouver Time) on Thursday, June 30, 2016. The Annual
General Meeting is scheduled for July 5, 2016. For more information, shareholders should read
Eastplats’ Management Information Circular, Shareholder Letter and related materials which are
available on the company’s website.

As outlined in detail in Eastplats’ Management Information Circular, the incumbent board has
delivered top-tier performance amid a challenging market for platinum. Eastplats and its
shareholders have been well-served by the incumbent board of directors.

Eastplats notes that the incumbent board has a significant investment in Eastplats coupled with
extensive experience in South Africa and Eastplats’ South African platinum mining business. The
interests of the incumbent board are aligned with shareholders.

Vote now to protect your investment in Eastplats. Your vote counts, no matter how many shares
you own. Vote the YELLOW proxy FOR the incumbent board.

How to Vote

ACT NOW – The proxy voting deadline is 10:00 AM (Vancouver Time) on Thursday, June 30,
