AGM Statement

Ovoca Resources PLC 29 September 2005 Ovoca Gold plc ('Ovoca' or the 'Company') Chairman's Statement to AGM and Drilling Results At the AGM of Ovoca Gold plc today in Jurys Hotel, Dublin, the Chairman, Roger Turner outlined the company's rational for the investment in Russia earlier this year. He explained that the licence in the Kola peninsula which hosts eight exciting prospects, including gold deposits at Oleninskoye, Nyalm and Leshaya where we are working to expand on the 900,000 ounces (Russian categorised) already reported. Recent results on five holes have supported the previous finds with assays of up to 8 grammes per tonne on the intersection of No. 3 vein in Oleninskoye. To date we have drilled 71 holes in the area and results during the year have included a drill intersection of over 200 grammes per tonne in the recently discovered South Leshaya prospect. Drilling is ongoing and a full analysis of the results will be carried out during the winter months. On the basis of the results to date we have applied for additional licences around the existing 152 square kilometre area which will include additional gold occurrences and highly prospective ground for gold and platinum group metals . He also confirmed that the company has been offered several other Russian projects, but declined to outline any of them at this early stage. In Sweden, fieldwork is commencing on the gold and zinc prospects previously outlined by Ovoca as having potential on the Gold Line where Dragon Mining has recently put the Svartliden mine into production. He welcomed Danesh Varma, CFO, as an appointee to the Board. Roger Turner informed the shareholders that this was a time of positive change for Ovoca and as part of this Ovoca was changing it's name to Ovoca Gold plc to reflect the main focus of its activities. He was looking forward to having a leading role in this rejuvenation of Ovoca Gold and repeat his previous success at Oxus Gold. 29 September 2005.
