GENERAL MEETING - VOTING RESULT

Lonmin Plc ("Lonmin" or the "Company") announces that a General Meeting was held today, 19 November 2012 in relation to the Proposed Rights Issue.

At the suggestion of a shareholder, the Chairman called for a minute's silence to reflect on the tragic events at the Company's Marikana mine in August and September 2012, and to remember those who lost their lives, their families, friends and colleagues.

The resolution to empower the board to allot shares was considered by shareholders by means of a poll vote and duly adopted. Votes were cast by the holders of some 77.7% of the Company's equity, as set out below:

The Company creates value for shareholders through mining, refining and marketing PGMs and has a vertically integrated operational structure - from mine to market.
