Anglo Platinum trading statement
Anglo Platinum advises shareholders that basic earnings per share for the year
ended 31 December 2009 are expected to be between 75% and 85% lower than the
basic earnings per share of 6 011 cents for the year ended 31 December 2008.
Headline earnings per share are expected to be between 89% and 99% lower than
the headline earnings per share of 5 609 cents for the year ended 31 December
2008.
The expected decrease is primarily as a result of lower metal prices, despite
higher platinum sales volumes.
The difference between the basic earnings per share and headline earnings per
share is attributable to the profit in respect of the previously announced BEE
transactions with Mvelapanda Resources Ltd and Anooraq Resources Corporation,
which is excluded from headline earnings.

(Section 3.4 (b)) of the JSE Limited. The financial information on which this
