SERABI MINING plc
("Serabi" or "the Company")
RELEASE OF UPDATED TECHNICAL REPORT
The Board of Serabi Mining plc, the AIM-listed gold exploration company, is
pleased to advise that NCL Brasil Ltda ("NCL") has completed and issued a new
Technical Report in respect of the Palito Gold Mine and the surrounding Jardim
do Ouro exploration tenements. The report was commissioned in anticipation of
the Company's previously announced intention to make a listing application to a
Canadian stock exchange.
Mike Hodgson, Chief Executive, commented:
"This report is an update to the Technical Report issued by NCL in September
2008. The previously declared mineral resources have not been re-estimated in
light of the limited mining and additional drilling on the Palito mine itself
subsequent to the last estimation and remain as Measured and Indicated
Resources* of 224,272 ounces (gold equivalent) and Inferred Resources* of
443,956 ounces (gold equivalent). The report has been prepared in compliance
with the Canadian regulation NI 43-101 and its completion is a key milestone in
the process for making a listing application to a Canadian stock exchange.
*Note: Serabi owns 100% of the Palito Gold Mine and surrounding Jardim do Ouro
exploration tenements. Accordingly, gross and net resources are the same.
A copy of the new Technical Report has been posted on the Company's website at

Glossary of terms used in the Announcement:
"Mineral Resource" is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic
economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, quality and quantity
that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The
location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a
Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological
evidence and knowledge. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of
increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured
categories.
An "Inferred Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
tonnage, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a low level of
confidence. It is inferred from geological evidence and assumed but not verified
geological and/or grade continuity. It is based on information gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings
and drill holes which may be limited or of uncertain quality and reliability.
An "Indicated Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content
can be estimated with a reasonable level of confidence. It is based on
exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate
techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill
holes. The locations are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm
geological and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely enough for continuity
to be assumed.
 A "Measured Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral Resource for which
tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content
can be estimated with a high level of confidence. It is based on detailed and
reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through
appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings
and drill holes. The locations are spaced closely enough to confirm geological
and grade continuity.
