Eastern Platinum Limited: NUM Strike at JIC Impacts CRM Operations 
 
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 20, 2011) - Eastern Platinum 
Limited (TSX:ELR)(AIM:ELR)(JSE:EPS) ("Eastplats" or the "Company") reports 
that talks between JIC Mining Services ("JIC") and the National Union of 
Mineworkers ("NUM") have not resulted in agreement between the parties. JIC is 
one of the largest mining contractors in South Africa and, along with other 
companies, provides selected contract mining services at the Crocodile River 
Mine ("CRM"). The employees of JIC have taken strike action and as a result, 
756 JIC employees working at CRM have joined the strike, which is peaceful. 
 
While the strike action continues, production at CRM will be reduced by 
approximately 50%, or approximately 210 ounces of PGM production per working 
day. Eastplats understands that JIC and NUM are continuing to negotiate on the 
unresolved issues. The Company is not involved in this dispute, but will 
provide appropriate updates on the situation.
