     Trading Statement                                                          
     Shareholders are advised that Impala Platinum Holdings Limited"s headline  
earnings per share for the year ended 30 June 2006 are expected to be      
     between 35% and 40% higher than for the previous comparable period, being  
     the year ended 30 June 2005.  This is higher than that announced in the    
     recent production update largely as a result of a weaker Rand at the end of
the financial year.                                                        
     Basic earnings per share will be between 15% and 20% lower than for the    
     previous comparable period, being the year ended 30 June 2005, which       
     benefited from the net impact of the profit from the sale of the Lonplats  
shareholding and the Marula impairment charge.                             
     The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not
