Notes to Editors

Amur Minerals Corporation is a mineral resource development company focused on
base metal projects located in the far east of Russia where it has three
projects. Its recent JORC compliant resource estimate for its flagship Kun-Manie
project is 341,000 tonnes of contained nickel and 95,500 tonnes of copper and
this is expected to increase as further exploration is completed. This resource,
which has been achieved in only 16 months of field work, makes Kun-Manie one of
the largest new nickel sulphide discoveries since Voisey's Bay.

In December 2007, Amur received the results of an independently compiled
pre-feasibility study, which conservatively indicates a Post Tax NPV (10%) of
$84 million with an IRR of 15.7%. The study contemplates producing 16,000 tonnes
of nickel per year in concentrate from three deposits drilled to date on the
Kun-Manie license as well as noting considerable upside potential.
