VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 3, 2012) - Eastern Platinum Limited (TSX:ELR)(AIM:ELR)(JSE:EPS) 
(the "Company" or "Eastplats") is pleased to report that further to its press release of February 1, 2011 
announcing the receipt of letters of commitment for a debt facility, it has now signed a definitive agreement 
with UniCredit Bank AG, London Branch and Standard Finance (Isle of Man) Limited (a subsidiary of The Standard 
Bank of South Africa Limited) for a US$100 million financing package to be used to part fund the development 
costs of its Mareesburg Project and the construction costs of the associated concentrator. 
 
Highlights of the key terms of the financing package include: 
 
/T/ 
 
=-  Scheduled tenor of 5.5 years with an 18 month grace period for principal 
    repayments 
=-  Separate term and revolving loan facilities (US$70 million and US$30 
    million, respectively) 
=-  Initial interest rate of US LIBOR + 3.85% rising to US LIBOR + 4.15% for 
    the last 2.5 years of the loan. US one-month LIBOR currently sits at

The term loan and revolving loan can be drawn down upon the satisfaction of agreed conditions precedent which

"This financing, combined with our existing cash resources, provide us with substantial flexibility over the 
upcoming year as we complete the development of Mareesburg and the construction of the concentrator within the 
next twelve months. We thank both UniCredit and Standard Bank for their ongoing support and commitment to 
Eastplats and are very pleased to be in such a well-capitalized position for this next stage of our corporate 
growth. We expect Mareesburg to be a low-cost operation that will deliver 100,000 PGM ounces per year at full 
production," said Ian Rozier, President and CEO of Eastplats.
