                          VANE Minerals Plc (AIM:VML)

                           ('VANE' or the 'Company')

                                NI 43-101 Report


VANE announces the publication of a NI 43-101 technical report on its Northern
Arizona Uranium Breccia Pipe Exploration Project, which was compiled by SRK
Consulting (U.S.) Inc., Tucson, Arizona; SRK reviewed the breccia pipe targets,
VANE's exploration and evaluation strategy and the company's quality control and
assurance practices.



Highlights from the report include:



•    VANE's uranium breccia pipes offer an excellent suite of exploration
     targets worthy of continued exploration drilling.

•    Several of the breccia pipes claimed by VANE were drilled in the early
     1980's, with promising results.

•    The evidence for the presence of uranium breccia pipes is apparent in
     the field and defines valid uranium exploration targets.

•    The VANE program is one of identification of prospective pipe targets,
     followed by shallow drilling to define a pipe geometry, and deep drilling to
     test favorable stratigraphy in the pipes for uranium mineralization - a well
     planned and focused exploration program.

•    Of the 38 breccia pipe properties held by VANE, five are confirmed pipes.

•    One of the breccia pipes contains a historical intercept with up to 1.78%
     equivalent U3 O8.

•    A program of drilling and gamma logging is justified to test the VANE
     exploration targets and it is possible to complete the steps suggested in
     the report in a 12 to 18 month time frame at a cost estimate of
     approximately US$2.85 million.

VANE Minerals was founded by the former international exploration team of
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., one of the world's largest producers of
copper and gold. The Company has assembled a highly qualified and experienced
management team with a proven track record in exploration and development, who
have spent their entire careers searching for and defining large scale mineral
deposits.



The Company is using the silver/gold production at the Diablito mine in Mexico
to help fund exploration work across its attractive portfolio.



Since December 2004, VANE has built up a substantial uranium portfolio of
properties in the Colorado Plateau region, initially targeting the Arizona strip
which holds the highest grade deposits in the US, contained in breccia pipes.
