VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 27, 2011) - Eastern Platinum Limited ("Eastplats") 
(TSX:ELR)(AIM:ELR)(JSE:EPS) is pleased to report that the dispute between JIC Mining Services ("JIC") and the 
National Union of Mineworkers ("NUM") has been resolved and the NUM strike action as reported on October 20, 
2011 has been terminated. The majority of the 756 JIC employees working at the Crocodile River Mine ("CRM") 
have returned to work as of today's shift and full attendance is expected on Thursday October 27, 2011. 
Eastplats expects full production at CRM to resume as from that date. 
 
Following the resignation of Wayne Robinson, Managing Director of Barplats Mines, as announced on October 25, 
2011, the Company has put in place a number of initiatives to provide appropriate ongoing executive and 
operational management in South Africa. 
 
A transition and hand-over will occur prior to Mr. Robinson's departure in December 2011 and the Company does 
not expect this to affect operations and production. In addition to internal senior management, John Andrews 
(Director) and Ian Rozier (CEO) will be spending substantially more time at CRM and in Johannesburg 
respectively, until a replacement is selected. Both Mr. Rozier and Mr. Andrews are mining engineers with 
considerable South African underground mining experience. 
 
Total shares issued and outstanding: 908,187,807
