Notes to Editors:

Horizonte Minerals Plc is an AIM listed mineral resources exploration group
focused on the discovery, appraisal and development of gold and base metal
deposits in Brazil and Peru.  The Group has two gold exploration projects in
Brazil, and one silver-zinc-lead project in Peru. The two Brazilian gold
projects, Tangara and Falcao, are located to the south of the highly prospective
Carajas Mineral Province. Both projects cover an area of approximately 300 sq km
and are centred over greenstone belts, with known gold mineralisation. The scale
of these project areas, the overall aerial extent of the mineralised system and
the high density and magnitude of related gold anomalies (identified in river
sediments, surface soils and rocks), indicate the potential for multiple deposit
discoveries. The silver-zinc-lead project is located in the historic mining
district of Cerro de Pasco in Central Peru. Sampling and limited historic
drilling on this project has demonstrated the high grade potential of this
project. The Group has a joint venture with Australian gold producer Troy
Resources NL's 70% owned local subsidiary Sertao Mineracao Ltda to advance its
Goias Velho gold exploration project in Brazil.
