Notes
Goldplat plc  is  an  AIM-listed gold  producer  with  operations  in
Africa. Its strategy is to create a mid-tier mining house focused  on
gold production  leveraged through  revenue generated  from its  gold
recovery businesses.
The Company  has two  recovery business  based in  South African  and
Ghana, which, by  safely disposing of  mining by-products, fulfil  an
important aspect of the mines' environmental management  programmes.
The South African plant is located  near the centre of the East  Rand
Goldfield and raw material feedstock's  are sourced from many of  the
major South  African mining  companies including  Anglogold  Ashanti,
Goldfields, Harmony,  DRD Gold  and  other smaller  producers,.   The
Ghana plant, located in the free port of Tema, provides access to raw
materials from  mines  in Mali,  Guinea,  Burkina Faso,  Benin,  Cote
D'Ivorie, Senegal, the DRC and Mauritania, as well as Ghana.
Additionally, Goldplat  has expanded  into  gold mining  through  the
acquisition of known deposits with targets of between 200,000 and one
million contained  ounces.   To  this  end, in  a  50/50  JV,  it  is
developing  the  potential  of  the  highly  prospective  213  sq  km
Lolgorien licence area located  in the historically producing  Migori
Archaean Greenstone  Belt in  western Kenya,  which is  scheduled  to
commence production Q4  2008.  A number  of other potential  projects
across Africa are under review.
