Notes:

Horizonte Minerals plc is an AIM quoted exploration and development company with a portfolio of nickel and gold projects in producing mineral districts in Brazil.  The Company is focused on creating value by generating and rapidly advancing exploration projects in tandem with joint ventures with major mining companies, providing mid-term cash flow which is then used to develop the business and pipeline projects.

Horizonte now has two committed major mining partners: Teck Resources Limited ('Teck'), a strategic 50 per cent. shareholder in the Company and AngloGold Ashanti Limited, with a US$5.3 million exploration alliance to generate and develop new gold targets in Brazil.

Horizonte owns 100 per cent. of the advanced Araguaia nickel project and the adjacent Lontra nickel project both in the Carajás mineral district of northern Brazil, which combined have the potential to define a plus 100 million tonne resource with grades comparable to other world-class projects in northern Brazil.  It is Horizonte's intention to fast-track development and deliver a JORC compliant/43-101 nickel resource in early 2011.  

Additionally, Horizonte signed a US$2.8 million option agreement to advance the Tangara gold project, situated in the Araguaia mobile belt in the Carajas Mineral Province of northern Brazil, with Troy Resources in December 2007.  The project is currently being advanced towards a resource definition.
