TRADING STATEMENT
Anglo American Platinum is currently preparing its results for the
six months ending 30 June 2012 (a??the perioda??), which will be
released on SENS on or about 23 July 2012.
Anglo American Platinuma??s earnings for the period is expected to
decrease by more than 20% from that reported in the six month
period ended 30 June 2011 (a??the comparative perioda??). However, in
view of volatility in exchange rates and metal prices, Anglo
American Platinum cannot, with reasonable certainty, quantify the
extent of the decrease in expected earnings other than that the
decrease is expected to be more than 20%.
The expected decrease in earnings is primarily as a result of
lower sales volumes and lower metal prices achieved compared to
the comparative period.
Shareholders are advised that a further trading statement will be
issued in due course to provide earnings forecast ranges for
earnings per share and headline earnings per share as required by
the JSE Listing requirements.
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement
is based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Companya??s
external auditors.
