BREAK FEES PLACED INTO ESCROW BY HEBEI ZHONGBO AND EASTPLATS

April 9, 2015, Vancouver, British Columbia – Eastern Platinum
Limited (“Eastplats” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
that both Hebei Zhongbo Platinum Co. Limited (“Hebei”) and
Eastplats have met their contractual obligations to lodge the
break fees of US$11.25 million each with the escrow agent as
required under the terms of the share purchase agreements (the
“SPAs”) whereby Hebei would acquire the Company’s entire South
African platinum group metal business (including a majority of
the interests held by the Company’s existing minority partners)
and all loan agreements that Eastplats has with its subsidiary
companies as previously reported in the Company’s press release
dated November 7, 2014. The break fees are payable as liquidated
damages upon the occurrence of certain events of default under
the SPAs.

“Both Hebei and Eastplats have put significant effort into
complying with the contractual terms and working through the
specific conditions that Hebei has had to comply with in China. As
a result of the break fees being placed into escrow, both parties
can now concentrate on obtaining the remaining South African
approvals for the transaction,” said Ian Rozier, President and CEO
of Eastplats.
