Miners cheered when they were told of a proposed 22% pay rise, a witness told Reuters news agency.
But South Africa's labour dispute body told the BBC it was waiting to hear if the latest pay offer had been accepted.
Last month, police opened fire on demonstrators at the mine in Marikana, killing 34 striking workers.
The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration told the BBC a delegation of workers representatives had gone to inform the striking miners of the latest offer this afternoon.
"What has happened here has been a victory really for the workers, and they're going to work on Thursday morning," AFP news agency quotes mediator Jo Seoka, the Bishop of Pretoria, as saying.
