Grant of Share Options

Pathfinder announces that the Company has granted a total of 7,500,000 options over the Company's ordinary shares of 0.1p each ("Ordinary Shares") to the Chief Executive Officer, John Taylor (the "Director Options"). The Director Options will vest, at the discretion of an independent Committee of the Board, and subject to resolution of the current dispute between the Company and other parties and the successful restoration to the Company of an interest in Mining Concession 4623C ("the Licence").  Further details of the Director Options are set out below:

Director	No. of options Granted	Exercise Price	Expiry	Total No. of Options Held
John Taylor	7,500,000	2.75p	3/07/2021	7,500,000

The issue of the Director Options results in a holding by the Board of the Company of, in aggregate, 19,500,000 share options in the Company, representing approximately 6 per cent. of the Company's currently issued share capital.

Related Party Transaction

The grant of the Director Options is considered to be a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The directors of the Company, other than John Taylor, consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, Strand Hanson Limited, that the terms of the grant of the Director Options are fair and reasonable in so far as the Company's shareholders are concerned.
