Notification of Transactions of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility pursuant to DTR 3.1.4R

As signalled in the prospectus and regulatory news announcement published in connection with the Company's rights issue on 9 November 2012, Mr Farmer did not, in light of the course of medical treatment he is receiving, give an irrevocable undertaking to follow his rights in full. Instead, on 23 November 2012 Mr Farmer sold in London 42,631 New Shares (nil paid) registered in his name for 138p each. The cash proceeds of this transaction will, after the deduction of dealing costs, enable him to take up 41,916 New Shares at 140p each. A further announcement of the subscription for the New Shares will be made following the closing of the rights issue on 10 December 2012.

Notes to editors
Lonmin, which is listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, is one of the world's largest primary producers of PGMs. These metals are essential for many industrial applications, especially catalytic converters for internal combustion engine emissions, as well as their widespread use in jewellery.
Lonmin's operations are situated in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, where nearly 80% of known global PGM resources are found.
The Company creates value for shareholders through mining, refining and marketing PGMs and has a vertically integrated operational structure - from mine to market. Lonmin's mining operations extract ore from which the Process Division produces refined PGMs for delivery to customers. Underpinning the operations is the Shared Services function which provides high quality levels of support and infrastructure across the operations.
