Fourth High Grade Copper Concentrate Shipment

Delivered in the Calendar Year

London, England & Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSXV: RAB, AIM: RMM) ('Rambler' or the 'Company') today announces that it has delivered approximately 5,400 wet metric tonnes ('wmt') of copper and gold concentrate from Goodyear's Cove, NL Canada.  

The Company's internal sampling estimates an average grade for the shipment of 27.8 per cent copper, 10.9 grammes per tonne gold and 83 grammes per tonne silver. This is the fourth shipment during the calendar year, the eight completed to date bringing the total concentrate delivered to approximately 52,200 wmt.

Following the shipment, the Company still has over 330 wmt of concentrate in storage at its Goodyear's Cove Facility.

Norman Williams, President and CEO, commented:

"Production continues as planned with the fourth shipment of concentrate delivered this calendar year bringing the total tonnes delivered to approximately 52,200 wmt since start-up in May 2012. Copper recoveries remain very stable allowing for continued focus on improving gold recovery which is evident in the slight increases in this shipment compared to the April and July deliveries."
