Directorate Change

Pursuant to Listing Rule 9.6.11 R (3) Lonmin Plc ("the Company") confirms that, as previously planned and announced, Alan Ferguson has today resigned as a director of the Company. This is the last step in the transition of Lonmin's operational management from London to South Africa, which has progressed smoothly and in line with our expectations.

In addition, as previously announced, Mahomed Seedat joins the board as a non-executive director of the Company on 1 January 2011. He has been appointed as a member of the Safety & Sustainability Committee and the newly-created Transformation Committee, with effect from the same date. There have been no changes to the regulatory information previously disclosed in respect of Mr Seedat.
