Rambler Metals & Mining PLC: Placing Raises Pounds Sterling 2.7 Million

LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND and LABRADOR--(Marketwire - March 31, 2010) - Further to
the announcement of 26 March 2010, Rambler Metals & Mining PLC (TSX VENTURE:RAB)(AIM:RMM) (the
"Company") announces today it has conditionally placed 8.6 million Ordinary Shares at 32 pence each
(approximately Cdn. $0.49 per share) to raise approximately Pounds Sterling 2.7 million before
expenses. The placing was oversubscribed.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds realized from the private placement to provide additional
working capital as the Company embarks on the construction phase required to bring its Ming copper-
gold mine into production and to mitigate any risk should there be delays in environmental permitting.

Ocean Equities Limited and Seymour Pierce Limited have been retained as joint-brokers for the placing
on a reasonable endeavours basis and will be paid a 5% commission on funds they raise. The placing
will be subject to a placing agreement to be entered into between the Company, Ocean Equities Limited
and Seymour Pierce Limited, and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM is expected to take place on 6 April 2010.
Following the placing there will be (95,485,000) Ordinary Shares in issue.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented:

"The strengthening of the Company's treasury at this time is a prudent measure as we near the
Environmental Application for the project. Under our current timelines we envisage the project being
released in 2010. At this time the third tranche of funding of US$13M from Sandstorm Resources becomes
available for draw down and allows Rambler to commence its construction campaign. Although we are
confident such a timeline is realistic the raising of additional working capital at this time
mitigates any risk to the Company should delays occur."

About Rambler

Rambler was founded in 2004 when Altius Minerals Corporation ("Altius"), a Newfoundland and Labrador
resource company, contributed to Rambler's asset base with an option to acquire and develop the Ming
Mine. Following the acquisition of the Ming Mine, Rambler, listed on London AIM in 2005 and Toronto
TSX-V in 2007.

The Ming property had been a former underground copper and gold producing mine that ceased production
when the deposit reached a then third party property boundary. This neighbouring property was
subsequently consolidated before being brought into Rambler's portfolio. Rambler now owns a 100%
interest in the property.

The area where the mine is located is a former mining centre and subsequently good existing
infrastructure including roads, fresh water, hydro, access to a working port while the town of Baie
Verte, population 1,300 is located 17km away.

Over the last several years Rambler has been exploring on the property leading to the publication of
two NI43-101 resource statements, the discovery of mineralized lenses and the extension of pre-
existing mineralized lenses. Today all mineralized lenses remain open in multiple directions while,
importantly, the deposit has not been cut-off at depth. The underground workings have been dewatered
and services including air, water and electrical re-installed.

In October 2009, Rambler purchased an operational gold hydrometallurgical mill, Nugget Pond, which is
situated approximately 40km from the Ming Mine. Rambler intends to expand the mill so that is capable
of handling massive sulphides from the mine to produce a copper concentrate with gold and silver as by-
products as well as recover any free gold.

Rambler is about to embark on the construction phase of the project with the intention of bringing the
Ming Mine into production in 2011 following the environmental release of the project.
