                           Kenya Mining Lease Update

Goldplat  plc, the  AIM quoted  gold producer,  is pleased  to announce that the
Commissioner  of Mines and Geology in Kenya, has confirmed that all the relevant
documentation  required  for  a  Mining  Lease  to  be granted for the Company's
operations at the Kilimapesa Hill gold mining project ('Kilimapesa Project') has
been  approved.   The  only  outstanding  requirement  is  the  formality of the
issuance of a Mining Right number from the Director of Survey.  The Commissioner
of  Mines  and  Geology  has  committed  to  giving  the necessary assistance to
Kilimapesa  Gold  (Pty)  Limited  ('Kilimapesa  Gold'),  in  order to be able to
fast-track  the Mining  Lease issue.  The Commissioner  stated that, "the Kenyan
Government is very positive about the granting of the Mining Lease to Kilimapesa
Gold  and views this as the  start of a new era  for the gold mining industry in
Kenya."

The management of Kilimapesa Gold has started preparations for the up scaling of
its  operations in readiness for the Mining Lease.  Goldplat CEO Demetri Manolis
said,  "This is fantastic news for the Company and we are delighted that we will
now be able to bring the Kilimapesa Project into production. Importantly we have
developed  a strong relationship with  the Ministry of Mines  and Geology, who I
would like to thank for their assistance, and look forward to aiding the country
in developing its resource industry."

Notes:

Goldplat is an AIM-listed gold producer with operations in Africa.  Its strategy
is  to consolidate its  position as a  gold producer in  Africa and build itself
into  a  highly  profitable  mid-tier  gold  company,  leveraged through revenue
generated from its gold recovery businesses.

The  Company  has  two  recovery  businesses  based  in  South  Africa and Ghana
producing  circa 21,000 ounces of gold per year.  These safely dispose of mining
by-products,  and  fulfil  an  important  aspect  of  the  mines'  environmental
management  programmes.  The South  African plant is  located near the centre of
the East Rand Goldfield and raw material feedstocks are sourced from many of the
major  South African mining companies,  including AngloGold Ashanti, Goldfields,
Harmony,  DRD Gold and other smaller producers.  The Ghana plant, located in the
free  port of Tema, provides access to raw materials from mines in Mali, Guinea,
Burkina  Faso, Benin, Cote D'Ivorie, Senegal, the DRC and Mauritania, as well as
Ghana.

Goldplat  is looking to increase its asset base through the acquisition of known
deposits  with targets of between 200,000 and  one million contained ounces.  To
this end, it is developing two projects; its wholly owned Kilimapesa Gold mining
project,  located in the historically  producing Migori Archaean Greenstone Belt
in  western Kenya and the  prospective 246 sq km Nyieme  Project in Burkina Faso
with  a view to establishing  a mining operation in  the short term.  Kilimapesa
Gold  commenced initial production in January  2009 and has announced an initial
JORC-compliant  resource of 1.65Mt at 2.44 g/t Au for 129,000 oz Au at a cut-off
grade of 1 g/t Au for all categories.
