Aquarius Platinum Limited successfully completes its US$250 million convertible
bond offering

Aquarius Platinum Limited (the "Company") announces today that it has
successfully completed the offering (the "Offering") of US$250 million of
unsubordinated, unsecured convertible bonds due 2015 (the "Bonds").

The Bonds will be issued at 100 per cent of their principal amount and will
have a coupon of 4.00% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrear. The initial
conversion price is US$6.773 per share, representing a premium of 22.5 per cent
to the volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares on the
London Stock Exchange between launch and pricing, translated at a GBP-USD
exchange rate of 1.653. If all of the Bonds were to be converted into new
common shares at the aforementioned conversion price, 36.9 million new common
shares would be issued (before any exercise of the over-allotment option
referred to below).

The Company has granted Goldman Sachs International, as sole Lead Manager, an
over-allotment option to subscribe for up to a further US$50 million of Bonds,
which, if exercised in full, would increase the total size of the Offering to
US$300 million. This option can be exercised, in part or in full, at any time
up to (and including) five London business days prior to the issue of the
Bonds.

The proceeds of the Offering will be used to fund the early redemption of all
of the Company's existing ZAR 650 million convertible bonds in accordance with
their terms (at an aggregate redemption price of ZAR 747.5 million) and for
general corporate purposes and business opportunities, including the
construction of a chromite recovery plant at the Everest platinum mine.

Under the terms of the Offering, there will be a 90-day lock-up period on
issuances or sales of shares or equity-linked securities by the Company,
subject to certain customary exceptions.

Settlement and delivery of the Bonds is expected to take place no later than 18
December 2009, following which the Company expects to redeem the existing ZAR
650 million convertible bonds.

Application will be made to list the Bonds on the official list of the United
Kingdom Listing Authority and to admit the Bonds to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's Professional Securities Market. The Company's common shares are
listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange and the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

The Bonds were placed through an accelerated bookbuilt placement with
institutional investors (outside the United States) conducted by Goldman Sachs
International, acting as sole Bookrunner in connection with the Offering.
