Anglo American Platinum Update
Anglo American Platinum Limited ("Anglo American Platinum")
is providing an update in respect to its Rustenburg operations,
following the resumption of those operations on Tuesday

The security situation in the Rustenburg area worsened during
yesterday evening. As a result, Anglo American Platinum
advised employees at its Rustenburg mining operations not
to attend work today. It is intended to resume operation
on the day shift tomorrow 3 October 2012.
Disciplinary action is continuing against employees who
have been on strike, in accordance with Anglo American Platinum's
previous announcements.
Separately, employees at Anglo American Platinum's Union
Mine in Limpopo Province, to the northwest of Rustenburg,
have today reported for work but have refused to go underground
for their shifts and have presented a memorandum to the
mine's management. The company has obtained an interdict
against the employees and this action has been declared
illegal and employees have been duly informed to return
to work tomorrow morning.
Anglo American Platinum's other operations all continue
to operate normally.
Further updates will be provided when appropriate.
