Anglo Platinum hereby advises shareholders that both basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the half year ended 30 June 2010 are expected to increase by at least 20% from the basic earnings per share of 1,144 cents and headline earnings per share of 169 cents for the half-year ended 30 June 2009. This is despite the increase in number of shares in issue following the rights offer.

The expected increase in earnings is primarily as a result of the higher Rand prices achieved on metals sold. In addition, basic earnings will be impacted by the profit on the disposal of the Group’s 37% interest in the Western Bushveld joint venture to Wesizwe Platinum Limited.

Once the company has reasonable certainty of the range of increase, such range will be published in a further trading statement.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s auditors. Anglo Platinum intends publishing its interim results on Monday, 26 July 2010.
