Notes
Goldplat plc  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, which,  by  safely  disposing mining  by-products,  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's strategy  is  to build  itself  into a  highly  profitable
mid-tier gold  producer, through  the acquisition  of known  deposits
with targets of between 200,000 and one million contained ounces.  To
this end, it is developing the  potential of the 213 sq km  Lolgorien
licence  area  ('Kilimapesa  Gold'),  located  in  the   historically
producing  Migori  Archaean  Greenstone   Belt  in  western   Kenya.
Kilimapesa Gold commenced initial production  in January 2009 and  an
aggressive exploration and development programme has been implemented
to define a JORC compliant resource at the project.

Additionally  the  Company  is  currently  evaluating  gold  recovery
operations  in  Tanzania  and  Zambia  and  also  has  joint  venture
agreements with Black Economic Empowerment ('BEE') partners in  place
to take advantage of mining opportunities in South Africa.
