Eastplats Increases Equity Interest in Lion's Head Platinum and Ownership in the Mareesburg Platinum Project 
 
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 22, 2011) - Eastern Platinum Limited (TSX:ELR)(AIM:ELR)(JSE:EPS) 
("Eastplats" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has increased its interest in the Mareesburg platinum 
project ("Mareesburg") as a result of purchasing a further 23% interest in Lion's Head Platinum (Proprietary) Limited 
("LHP"), the entity that owns a 100% interest in Mareesburg. The consideration to be paid by Eastplats to acquire this 
additional interest in LHP is US$10 million and 20 million common shares of Eastplats, making the total cost to the 
Company approximately US$20.5 million. 
 
Eastplats previously held a 25.5% interest in Mareesburg through its 51% shareholding in LHP, and also successfully 
earned a 50% direct interest in the project by way of the original Mareesburg Joint Venture agreement, for a total 
direct and indirect interest of 75.5%. With the acquisition of a further 23% of LHP, Eastplats now holds a 37% interest 
in Mareesburg through its 74% shareholding in LHP, and the 50% interest by way of the joint venture, for a total direct 
and indirect interest of 87% in Mareesburg. 
 
The transaction is subject to acceptance by the Toronto Stock Exchange. 
 
"With the ongoing development of the low cost Mareesburg/Spitskop facilities, we are very pleased that we have been able 
to increase our equity position in Mareesburg. Mareesburg is progressing well and is an important step in our growth 
strategy of reaching target production by the end of 2013 of 225,000 PGM ounces for the group", stated Ian Rozier. 
 
Total shares issued and outstanding: 928,187,807 (including the 20,000,000 to be issued pursuant to the above 
transaction)
