SRK Report on Swedish Licences

Ovoca Resources plc Ovoca Resource plc ('Ovoca' or the 'Company') Technical Review of Swedish Exploration Projects Ovoca has recently commissioned a technical review of its Swedish Exploration Projects by Steffen, Robertson & Kirsten (UK) Ltd ('SRK'). SRK is part of an international group, the SRK Group, which comprises over 500 professional staff offering expertise in a wide range of engineering disciplines. The executive summary of the SRK review is reproduced below and the entire report will be available shortly from the Company's website (www.ovoca.ie) 'Executive Summary Ovoca holds a portfolio of 14 licences totalling some 28 000 ha located within the Västerbotten district of northern Sweden. Some of these licences were acquired from MinMet in 2003 and Ovoca has added to this portfolio of licences in 2004, including the licences of Sjoliden and Nottjarn. Ovoca considers these licences to be located in a new mining district known as the 'Gold Line'. The majority of these licences are 'early stage' exploration prospects defined by positive geochemical anomalies and some degree of coincident geological structure. Three of these are, however, more advanced and are currently considered by Ovoca to be their highest priority targets in Sweden; namely, Krokliden, Sjoliden and Nottjarn. The Krokliden / Sjoliden licences are located adjacent to and along strike from Dragon Mining's Svartliden project. The licences have geochemical and geophysical anomalies and there is a good possibility that they will host gold mineralisation. These prospects require only limited further work prior to diamond drilling. At Nottjarn preliminary work has indicated the possibility of Porphyry and mesothermal vein type mineralization which warrant further exploration. While Ovoca's portfolio in Sweden is of a lower priority than some of the company's other assets elsewhere in the world, SRK considers that the limited amount of fieldwork planned by Ovoca, which is aimed at creating drill targets on several of the licences, is justified by the information reviewed.'
