Notes to Editors

Amur Minerals Corporation is a mineral resource development company focused on base metal projects located in the far east of Russia where it has three projects. Its JORC compliant resource estimate for its flagship Kun-Manie project is 341,000 tonnes of contained nickel and 95,500 tonnes of copper and this is expected to increase as further exploration is completed. This resource, which has been identified and progressed in only 20 months of field work is one of the largest nickel sulphide discoveries since Voisey's Bay.

An independently compiled pre-feasibility study of Kun-Manie conservatively indicates a Post Tax NPV (10%) of $84 million with an IRR of 15.7%. The study contemplates producing 16,000 tonnes of recoverable nickel per year in concentrate from three deposits drilled to date on the Kun-Manie license as well as noting considerable upside potential.
