Production was up 1% compared to the first quarter of 2010 ("Q1 2010"), but run-of mine tonnes hoisted and on- 
reef development meters were down 2% and 19% respectively compared to Q1 2010 due to the dismissal of 15 
contract stoping crews (out of a total of 58 crews) in May and the resulting build-up and training of new 
crews. Full replacement of these crews was completed in July 2010. The Company expects that on-reef development 
and production will increase once the new crews have been properly inducted and trained. 
 
The contract crews were dismissed due to management's concerns over their safety procedures. Lost-time injury 
frequency rate (LTIFR) was 2.78, compared to 1.77 in Q1 2010. 
 
A surface stockpile of 10,556 tonnes (representing approximately 1,100 recoverable PGM ounces) was measured at 
the end of the quarter. Head grade was maintained at 4.1g/t and concentrator recovery increased to an average 
of 80% for the quarter. 
 
Underground development commenced at Crocette on April 4, 2010 in accordance with the planned CRM production 
growth schedule. 
 
The qualified person having reviewed the operating results presented in this press release is Mr. Brian 
Montpellier, P. Eng, V.P. Project Development. 
 
Eastplats will release its full second quarter results on Wednesday, August 11, 2010.
