TRADING STATEMENT
Shareholders are advised that Implats` headline earnings per share (HEPS) and
basic earnings per share (EPS) for the six months ended 31 December 2010 are

than that of the six months ended 31 December 2009 (EPS and HEPS of 212 cents).
The increase in HEPS and EPS is due to higher metal prices and sales volumes.
It should be noted that the earnings were tempered by the strengthening of the
rand over the reporting period.
