Anglo Pacific Group PLC: Notice of General Meeting

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - April 30, 2012) - Anglo Pacific Group PLC (the "Company")
(LSE:APF)(TSX:APY) announces its intention to convene a general meeting to be held at 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday 29
May 2012 at the Company's registered office at 17 Hill Street, London W1J 5LJ (the "General Meeting"). The
notice of the General Meeting (the "Notice") is available on the Company's website, www.anglopacificgroup.com,
and a hard copy, together with the Form of Proxy, will be sent to shareholders. The documents will also be
available through the National Storage Mechanism at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do and through SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The sole agenda item of the General Meeting is to consider a resolution to authorise the directors to allot
equity securities or sell treasury shares for cash without first offering them to existing shareholders in
proportion to their existing holdings. This resolution is to replace the authority granted at last year's
annual general meeting, which expired at the end of the annual general meeting held on 19 April 2012 (the
"AGM").

The new resolution now limits the authority at 5% of the Company's issued share capital, rather than at the 10%
granted at the annual general meetings in 2009 and 2010 and sought by resolution 15 proposed at the AGM.
Resolution 15 was put to a poll at the AGM and not passed. More information on the new resolution is included
in the Notice.
