Requirements (Section 3.4 (b)) of the JSE Limited, which became effective on 1
December 2004.
Anglo Platinum wishes to advise shareholders that headline earnings per share
for the half-year ended 30 June 2005 are expected to be between 30% and 35%
higher than the headline earnings per share of 697,9 cents for the half-year
ended 30 June 2004. Earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the
half year ended 30 June 2005 do not differ.
The half-year headline earnings include a benefit of R172m resulting from a
reduction in the deferred tax liability at 31 December 2004 in line with the
change in the South African corporate tax rate from 30% to 29%, an after tax
foreign exchange gain of R306m, an after tax increase in the value of metal
inventories of R234m that arose mainly from a gain in the quantity of pipeline
stocks as indicated by a full stock count.

reviewed and reported on by the Company`s auditors. Anglo Platinum intends
publishing its interim results on 27 July 2005.
