    Completion of the recommended acquisition by Aquarius Platinum Limited 
                  ("Aquarius") for Ridge Mining plc ("Ridge") 
 
Aquarius is pleased to confirm that further to earlier announcements by 
Aquarius and Ridge today, the scheme of arrangement relating to the recommended 
all share acquisition by Aquarius of Ridge (the "Transaction") has become 
effective in accordance with its terms and that the Transaction has now 
completed. 
 
Commenting on the Transaction, Stuart Murray, CEO of Aquarius, said: "I am 
delighted that we have now concluded the transaction with Ridge. In the 
Aquarius portfolio, the Blue Ridge Mine and Sheba's Ridge Project will benefit 
from our experience and skills, and provide both production growth and 
optionality for the enlarged group as a whole. I'd like to take this 
opportunity to welcome all Ridge shareholders to Aquarius and thank them for 
their overwhelming support during this transaction. I trust that in the new 
Aquarius, they are equally excited about our future opportunities as I am."
