Anglo Platinum trading statement
Anglo Platinum advises shareholders that basic earnings per share for the half-
year ended 30 June 2009 are expected to be between 65% and 75% lower than the
basic earnings per share of 3,547 cents for the half-year ended 30 June 2008.
Headline earnings per share are expected to be between 90% and 99% lower than
the headline earnings per share of 3,563 cents for the half-year ended 30 June
2008.
The expected decrease is primarily as a result of lower Rand prices of metals
sold despite higher sales volumes.
The difference between the basic earnings per share and headline earnings per
share reflects the profit in respect of the previously announced BEE
transactions with Mvela Resources and Anooraq, which is excluded from headline
earnings.
This trading statement is issued in compliance with the Listings Requirements
(Section 3.4 (b)) of the JSE Limited. The financial information on which this
