NEWS RELEASE

July 17, 2015, Vancouver, B.C. – Eastern Platinum Limited (“Eastplats” or the “Company”)
announces that the TSX has accepted the Company’s request for an extension to the holding of the 2015
Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) provided that such AGM is held on or before September 11, 2015.
The extension was requested by the Company as it was felt to be in the best interests of shareholders to
postpone the AGM until following the completion of the initial transaction with Hebei Zhongbo
Platinum Co. Limited (“Hebei Zhongbo”) (as detailed in news releases dated November 7, 2014 and
June 8, 2015) which completion was scheduled to occur on or before August 7, 2015. The Company has
been advised by the Competition Commission in South Africa that it would require more time to review
the details of the transaction with Hebei Zhongbo and has indicated that it would not be in a position to
issue its approvals of the transaction until after August 12, 2015.

The Company is hopeful that it will receive the Competition Commission approvals and the Department
of Mineral Resources approvals in time to complete the initial transaction with Hebei Zhongbo prior to
its 2015 AGM.
