          African Consolidated Resources plc ('ACR' or 'the Company')
                        Technical and Operational Update

African  Consolidated Resources Plc, the AIM  listed resource company focused in
Zimbabwe,  is pleased to announce a  technical and operational update in respect
of its extensive portfolio of primarily gold, nickel, platinum, diamond and rock
phosphate projects.

OVERVIEW:

  * Since the last technical report in May 2010, reverse circulation and diamond
    drilling  programmes totalling over 11,000 metres have been completed at the
    Gadzema gold project and the Chishanya phosphate project.
  * At  Gadzema,  over  5,504m of  Reverse  Circulation ('RC') drilling has been
    completed  at Blue Rock extensions, and  2,459m of RC drilling and 2,070m of
    diamond  drilling  was  completed  at  the  Giant  Mine,  5km to  the north.
     Drilling  of  a  parallel  mineralised  trend  about  500m NE  of Blue Rock
    continues  to  intersect  broad,  low  to  medium-grade gold intercepts over
    approx  500m of  strike  in  felsic  volcanic  stockworks.   Best intercepts
    include 24m @ 1.7g/t, 8m @ 4.2g/t, 12m @ 3.2g/t and 7m @ 3.1g/t.
  * The  withdrawal  of  JV  partner  TWP  from  the  Pickstone dump project, as
    announced  on 9 June 2010, has meant that some larger drilling projects have
    been  suspended in order to conserve exploration funds pending definition of
    timescale and plans leading to a feasibility study and mining.
  * In  particular, drilling  at the  Horseshoe nickel  project, has been scaled
    back. However, despite delays in laboratory assay turnaround, and the import
    of  suitable core-cutting machinery, the drilling  at the Giant gold mine is
    completed  and will allow a Resource  upgrade once all assays are available.
     Good  results from  extensions of  the Blue  Rock gold project means infill
    drilling will be planned to add further JORC Resources.
  * At  Pickstone  the  SSSB  group  (see  2010 Annual  Report  Chief  Executive
    Officer's  Report) have determined that pursuant to the MOU signed with them
    the  open pit potential  of Pickstone Peerless  does not meet their internal
    rate  of  return  hurdle  but  they  have  stated  they remain interested in
    reviewing  the  potential  for  treatment  of  the  dump and for underground
    mining.   Talks with other interested parties are now also underway for this
    project.   The SSSB group is continuing to evaluate the Giant Mine potential
    within the context of the MOU.
  * Pit  sampling  and  detailed  mapping  at  the  Horseshoe nickel project has
    determined  that the thicker  and higher grade  portions of the near surface
    laterite  mineralisation is localised in remnant weathering surfaces capping
    the  prominent hills  in the  ranges.  Drilling  is required to assess these
    thicker  horizons, and a trial  tracked rig capable of  working in the steep
    terrain is planned for November.
  * At  the Chishanya phosphate project,  initial mineralogy tests indicate that
    the  apatite ore is  well liberated by  grinding, and should  be amenable to
    flotation.   Float tests however were inconclusive  due to oxide coatings on
    the  surface samples.  A two hole diamond drill programme totalling 600m was
    completed  to investigate the distribution of the phosphate veins within the
    intrusive  pipe, and  to obtain  un-oxidised core  for flotation tests.  The
    first  hole hit mainly fenite country rock and only thin veins of phosphate.
     The  second hole  intersected very  encouraging phosphate  grades at depth,
    with the bottom 166m of the hole averaging 8.6% P2O5 using a hand-held Niton
    XRF  analyser,  which  reads  conservatively  compared  to  laboratory assay
    comparisons.   Best intercept was 24.9m @ 11.6% P2O5.  Further drilling will
    be  required to assess vein geometries and potential tonnages.  In addition,
    the  greater carbonatite intrusion has never been assessed for its magnetite
    content,  which  in  surface  outcrop  often  appears to meet the 30%-40% Fe
    grades  which are the world average for magnetite iron ore deposits prior to
    concentration.  Bulk sampling is planned.
  * Assay  results  for  the  five  diamond  drill holes completed at the Cedric
    copper  project  are  not  fully  complete,  but  assays from the first hole
    intersected  oxide  mineralisation  of  18m @ 1.3% Cu from 31-49m  (includes
    10m @ 2% Cu).
  * Heli-borne  electromagnetic surveys  (TEM system)  are planned  to cover the
    30km long nickel prospective horizon of the Perseverance Greenstone Belt for
    massive  nickel sulphides, plus the Cedric copper deposit for mineralisation
    below the oxide cap and the Mphoengs nickel project  for sulphide nickel-PGE
    (Botswana  Tati belt extensions into Zimbabwe).  The survey has been delayed
    by  lack of available equipment, but all  efforts are being made to source a
    contractor before year end.
  * In Zambia, Rare Earths International Ltd ('REI'), pursuant to its Rare Earth
    Minerals  JV Agreement with ACR on the Nkombwa Hill project announced on 11
    June   2010, has   completed  the  due  diligence  on  the  project  to  its
    satisfaction.   As a result of this REI will be committed to a minimum spend
    of  $750,000 in order to define an initial Inferred Resource in exchange for
    a  30% equity  interest  in  the  project.  Historical  drill  core from the
    project,  phosphates as well as rare  earths, has been retrieved, logged and
    re-sampled.
  * Final  data compilation on the Kasempa Cu-Gold  licence in the centre of the
    country  has revealed extensive  soil geochemical anomalies  for copper, and
    historical  diamond drill holes are reported intersecting Iron-Oxide copper-
    gold   (IOCG)  style  mineralisation.   Claim  beaconing  and  environmental
    reporting  is underway and an  airborne magnetic/radiometric survey is being
    costed over the IOCG targets.


ACR  CEO Andrew Cranswick  said, "While we  have had some  frustrating delays in
delivery  of service and availability  of suitable equipment, excellent progress
and  consistently mineralised results continue to  emanate from our Gadzema gold
projects  and ground  consolidation has  met our  best expectations on the area.
 Gold understandably forms the main focus of our resource definition efforts for
the  near future as target definition  continues on other projects.  We continue
to  work towards a gold production phase  at Pickstone Peerless and hope to make
further announcements in this regard."

DEVELOPMENT DRILLING

Gadzema Belt - gold
Blue Rock:
Further  prospective ground  to the  immediate north  of Blue  Rock (the Rainbow
Claims)  has now been purchase-optioned and  this together with the Berks claims
to  the east and  the Red Hat  claims to the  south cover 440 ha  (4.4 sq km) in
total  and  more  than  treble  the  original strike length available.  Work has
commenced on the Berks and Red Hat options.

Since the Company's last technical update in May 2010, 34 holes for 5504 m of RC
drilling   has been completed over a parallel mineralised trend about 500m NE of
the  original Blue  Rock discovery,  within  the  Berks claims.  Here the option
allows  ACR to purchase  the claims in  full at any  time before February 2013.
 Lines  were  drilled  on  80m spacings  across 1km of strike, angled 60 degrees
west.   The central 500m of  the drilled area  has returned encouraging results,
similar  to the main Blue  Rock area, and results  for the last 15 holes, mainly
southern extensions, are awaited.

*80m linespacing. Im fire assays at 0.5g/t lower cut, includes up to 2m internal
waste, no top cut.
Results available to hole 93 of 108

The  geology  in  the  new  extensions  is  similar  to Blue Rock - dominated by
stockwork  mineralisation in felsic bodies intruded  into talc schists and minor
banded  iron  formations.   Numerous  targets  exist along strike, defined using
potassium-channel radiometrics, aeromagnetics, and detailed field mapping.

The  mineralised trend NW of  Blue Rock appears to  run north for about 1.5km to
join  the  Shlegani  prospect,  where  five  historical  RC  holes returned some
significant  intercepts (best 12m @ 2.06 g/t in SHRC 03 and 7m @ 2.5 g/t in SHRC
06), and  500m to the  south the  mineralisation trends  into the Red Hat option
claims, which contains the old Red Hat mine.

While  awaiting all RC assay results on the current drilling, ACR is pattern RAB
drilling  the large  Red Hat  block  (27  ha),  to  focus in  on the mineralised
trends prior to RC drilling.

Further  RC infill drilling to 40m linespacing on the Berks option after the Red
Hat programme will allow a JORC Resource to be calculated.

Giant  Mine:  The current JORC compliant  Inferred Resource at Giant Mine stands
at   300,000oz.  The   recent   RC   and   diamond  drilling  has  extended  the
mineralisation to depth and has also penetrated a thick diorite intrusion at the
south  end of the  mine, where earlier  RC drilling was  unable to penetrate the
hard formation at depth.  The diorite contains broad gold intersections where it
cuts  the main  shear zone  of the  Giant Mine.  Cutting of core and assaying is
underway, ahead of an incremental Resource upgrade.

Pickstone-Peerless - gold

Six  large-diameter core  holes for  approximately 1,200m were  drilled into the
Peerless  orebody for metallurgical  and geotechnical test  work.  Processing of
the core is in progress.

Chisanya Carbonatite - phosphate

Recent  mineralogy  studies  by  SGS  laboratories  using  a  scanning  electron
microscope  (QUEMSCAN)  and  XRD  analysis  for  modal  mineral  assemblages has
indicated  that >85% of the apatite crystals are well liberated by grinding, and
should  be  amenable  to  flotation.   Subsequent  flotation  tests however were
complicated  by iron oxide weathering in the surface samples and a float upgrade
to  an apatite  concentrate was  difficult to  obtain.  SGS recommended that un-
oxidised samples should be obtained by drilling before carrying out any detailed
float tests.

Two core holes totalling 602m were completed in September.  They were drilled at
45 degrees  dip  into  the  base  of  Baradanga  Hill  to  obtain fresh rock for
metallurgical  flotation testwork on the apatite  (P2O5) ore, and to investigate
the  geometry  and  thickness  of  the  sub-vertical veins hosting the phosphate
mineralisation.

As  the vein systems appear to form  semi-concentric rings around the outer edge
of the Baradanga intrusion, the holes were oriented east-west and north-south to
bisect  the target zones at right angles.  The first hole, CNDD01, oriented 270
degrees,  intersected  only  thin  carbonatite  veins  in  a predominant mass of
altered  country rock  (syenite and  fenite).  However  the second hole, CNDD02,
oriented at 200 degrees, intersected thick zones of mineralised carbonatite from
134m downhole   until   end-of-hole   at   300m.  In   this   section,   apatite
mineralisation  was strongly  developed and  of significantly  higher grade than
current  southern African carbonatite deposits (Dorowa 6.5% to 8%, Palabora 6.9
to  8.6%).  The  initial  assays  have  been  taken  using a hand-held Niton XRF
analyser, at 20cm intervals down the core, and averaged to 1m intervals.  Assays
on  un-crushed material  are likely  to be  erratic but  ACR has run correlation
tests   comparing  coarse-crushed  Chishanya  phosphate  mineralisation  against
laboratory assays on pulps, where the Niton reads up to 50% below the laboratory
value.   Hence the values below are likely  to err on the conservative.  Twenty-
five   surface   samples  of  apatite  material  previously  submitted  to   SGS
laboratories, Johannesburg, ranged from  0.26% to 25.3% P2O5, averaging 12.3%.

+---------+----------+-------+---------------------+
Further  drilling  is  required  to  establish  that  the  volume  of  phosphate
mineralisation  reaches economic  thresholds. This  will be  deferred until next
year  due to  the wet  season and  budget constraints.  Meanwhile mineralogy and
flotation tests can be carried out on the fresh core.


EXPLORATION PROJECTS

Regional gold exploration

Chakari Gold:

No  field work was done in the period,  and trenching or drilling is deferred to
conserve cash burn.

Basemetals/PGE

Cedric Copper

The   Cedric  project  covers  approximately  1,400m strike  of  surface  copper
mineralisation  over the old Cedric mine  workings.  This area was last explored
in  the 1960s, and  lies in  the Proterozoic  Makonde copperbelt.   Five diamond
drillholes previously reported have been submitted for assay.

Assays from the first hole intersected thick mineralisation at moderate grades;

18m @ 1.3% Cu from 31-49m (includes 10m @ 2% Cu)

Results from the remaining four holes are awaited.

A  heli-borne VTEM survey is planned over  the Cedric trend as soon as possible,
subject to equipment availability.

Horseshoe Nickel

Pitting has now been completed over most of the claims area (14 sq km) Pits were
dug  on a 100m x 100m grid and channel  samples taken at 20cm intervals down the
pits. Over 750 pits have been hand-dug and channel sampled to date.

Although  mineralisation appears to form a fairly consistent horizontal sheet at
surface,  1-3m thick and  grading 0.5-1.5% Ni,  the pitting  and recent detailed
regolith mapping has identified thicker and higher grade laterite development on
remnant  weathering surfaces related to  Post-Gondwana and Pan-African planation
surfaces,  developed  at  ca.  1700ma and  ca.  1550ma, respectively.   Although
restricted  in area to  siliceous cappings (known  as birbirite), these are more
favourable  targets due to increased thickness and grade.  Pitting can only test
these  horizons to about  3m before safety becomes  an issue, hence  a track has
been  constructed into  the area  to allow  a small  tracked RAB  rig to test an
initial area.

Column  leach metallurgical testing, planned for this quarter, has been deferred
until  the drilling obtains full-depth intersections beneath the birbirite caps.
 RAB  drilling should commence this month, but many areas are too steep for easy
access and a portable rig may have to be imported to test the higher areas.

Should  the birbirite caps become the  principal target, ground consolidation in
the area may be required to amass a critical tonnage.

Perseverance Nickel

A  heli-borne  electromagnetic  (EM)  programme,  planned to cover the 30km long
nickel  prospective  horizon  of  the  Perseverance Greenstone Belt, is awaiting
availability  of EM equipment in the country.  Discussions are underway with two
companies  who may be  able to source  a suitable EM  system in Dec-January.  EM
conductors  will be identified and drill tested  for nickel sulphides as part of
ongoing exploration during 2011.

Mphoengs NI-PGE
ACR  holds approximately  11km of strike  of extensions  of the Tati nickel belt
into  Zimbabwe, which is prospective for  mafic/ultramafic hosted nickel and PGE
models  such as  the Phoenix  and Selkirk  mines in  Botswana.  Data  reviews of
previous  exploration indicates  that no  significant surface mineralisation has
been  found, hence deeper search  methods are required.  Electromagnetic surveys
proved  very effective on  the Botswana Ni-PGE  deposits, hence an  EM survey is
planned as soon as a suitable contractor is available.

Snakes Head PGE
As previously announced, four short diamond holes have been planned and sited to
intersect  the P1  platinum reefs  on the  recently identified Fundumwi Block of
this  northern  subchamber  of  the  Great  Dyke.  The mineralogy and ultramafic
stratigraphy  of the Fundumwi Block suggests that the PGE reefs in this area may
be  higher grade than elsewhere in the  chamber.  Due to the very rugged terrain
man-portable  or heli-portable drills are required.  These have proved difficult
to obtain and quotes for these continue to be sought.

Regional Diamonds

A   combination  of  ACR's  historical  diamond  database  and  recent  regional
exploration  has  defined  areas  containing  significant clusters of kimberlite
indicator  minerals.     Geophysical  surveys  are  continuing  to be delayed by
equipment malfunction but are expected to resume in November.

Zambia - Nkombwa Hill, Rare Earths, Phosphate

Environmental  permits and claim beaconing is complete, historical data has been
comprehensively  compiled into  a GIS  database, and  reconnaissance visits have
been  carried out by ACR and REI.  Both commodities (Phosphate and REE) can have
complex  extractive metallurgy so initial sampling  and research is focussing on
the metallurgy and mineralogy of the deposit.

In June ACR announced that it had signed a joint venture heads of agreement with
Australian-based  private  exploration  company,  Rare  Earth  International Ltd
('REI'),  to explore  the Project  specifically for  Rare Earth elements (REEs).
 REEs  reported  from  the  carbonatite  include  Cerium,  Lanthanum, Neodymium,
Praseodymium and Gadolinium.

This  project complements  ACR's Chishanya  Hill phosphate  project in Zimbabwe,
where  considerable  expertise  has  already  been  developed  investigating the
geology  and  metallurgy  of  a  similar  carbonatite  intrusion.   ACR  will be
exploring the phosphate potential of Nkombwa Hill as a 100% owned project.

Zambia - Kasempa Cu-Au

The Kasempa project lies in central Zambia in Proterozoic sediments and granites
at  the root zone of  the Zambian copperbelt. In  recent years the potential for
large  Iron oxide copper-gold  (IOCG) deposits have  been recognised, similar to
Olympic Dam in Australia.

Geoquest  consultants, Zambia, have  compiled all historical  data on copper and
gold  exploration over the lease  area into a GIS  database, and have identified
several  copper-gold  targets  where  soil  geochemistry coincides with magnetic
highs possibly linked to mineralised intrusive granites.

Claims beaconing and environmental permitting is underway, prior to field visits
and planning of geophysics/drilling.

This  announcement  has  been  reviewed  by  Mike  Kellow  BSc,  a member of the
Australian  Institute of  Geologists and  Technical Director  of ACR.  Mr Kellow
