IMPLATS EMPLOYEES BACK AT WORK 
 
Implats is pleased to confirm that all employees who embarked on the 
unprotected strike this week, in support of colleagues who were arrested by the 
SA Police Services for alleged involvement in incidents of violence, have 
returned to work, starting with the night shift last night. 
 
Following a number of questions regarding the current membership of the two 
unions at the mine, Implats confirms that management has commissioned a process 
to verify claims by the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union 
(AMCU) that they represent more than 10 000 of our employees.  We are also in 
discussion with all the relevant stakeholders to persuade them to stop the 
unnecessary conflict through the establishment of a joint interim workers 
committee to discuss and regulate labour issues for the benefit of all the 
employees. 
 
We condemn the use of violence and intimidation and call on all the parties to 
do the same. 
 
Management will attempt to make up some of the lost production (6,000 platinum 
ounces) during the next six months through working extra production shifts.
