STATEMENT RE PRE-CONDITIONAL OFFER
The Board of Lonmin ("Lonmin") notes the unsolicited, pre-conditional offer
announced this morning by Xstrata for the entire issued share capital of Lonmin
at 3300p per share in cash. This is an opportunistic and entirely unwelcome
attempt to acquire Lonmin at a price which undervalues its unique assets.
A further announcement will be made by the Board of Lonmin shortly. In the
meantime, shareholders are strongly advised to take no action in respect of the
pre-conditional offer.
