REGULATORY RELEASE

FURTHER OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Further to the announcement made on 14th May 2013, Lonmin Plc (the "Company") welcomes an overnight return to work by employees engaged in an unprotected strike action which began on Tuesday morning.

Initial estimates are that 82% of workers reported for the night shift yesterday and more than 90% for the morning shift today.

The situation on the ground remains delicate, however, and discussions on workers' demands continue with unions and other stakeholders.

The Company will update the market as soon as it has further clarity.
