                   Goldplat plc ('Goldplat' or 'the Company')
           Mining Licence Received at Kilimapesa Kenyan Gold Project

Goldplat  plc, the AIM quoted  gold producer, is pleased  to announce that a 21
year  Mining Lease  for Kilimapesa  Gold Mine  ('Kilimapesa') has been issued by
Kenya's Minister for Environment and Mineral Resource and was presented today at
a  ceremony  in  Nairobi,  to  the  Chief  Executive of Kilimapesa, Mark Austin.
 Kilimapesa  will be Kenya's first gold project  to receive a Mining Lease since
independence in 1963.

Exploratory  underground development  at the  mine is  progressing well with two
auriferous quartz veins being extended on strike to the east.  The diamond drill
exploration   programme  results  to  date  remain  encouraging  and  a  further
announcement will be made once all results are received.

Goldplat  CEO Demetri Manolis said, "Goldplat would like to thank the Honourable
John  Michuki,  Minister  for  Environment  and  Mineral  Resources, and all his
colleagues  at the Ministry for their assistance in finalising the Mining Lease.
 We  look forward to intensifying the mine's development and the erection of the
elution plant which will enable us to produce gold bullion in the near future on
site.   This  production  will  complement  our existing producing operations in
South Africa and Ghana."
