                         RAMBLER COMPLETES NEGOTIATIONS FOR THE SALE AND PURCHASE
                                  OF THE NUGGET POND PROCESSING FACILITY

London, England & Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador - Rambler Metals and Mining plc ('Rambler')  (TSXV:
RAB,  AIM:  RMM)  is pleased to announce that it has signed a sale and purchase agreement  with  Crew  Gold
Corporation  (TSX: CRU) (OSE: CRU) (FWB: KNC) (OTCBB: CRUGF) ('Crew') for the Nugget Pond  gold  processing
facility (the 'Facility').

The  gold  milling  facility  is located on the Baie Verte Peninsula in Newfoundland,  just  40  km's  from
Rambler's Ming Mine.  The gold concentrator will be adapted to process base metals sulphides from the  Ming
Mine  through the addition of a copper flotation circuit as well as process the 'free gold' that exists  in
the Rambler geological system.  The modification will diversify the existing facility and allow for a range
of processing capabilities.  Crew Gold is currently under contract to toll mill ore from the Pine Cove Gold
Mine,  which  is  owned by Anaconda Mining, until June 30, 2010.  The expansion of the  facility  will  not
impede this contract.

The  purchase  price  for the facility is $3.5 M CDN.  Crew Gold will be responsible  for  maintaining  the
existing closure bond until such time that the toll milling contract expires whereupon Rambler shall assume
this  responsibility.   The closing date for the purchase will take place within  90  days  of  the  signed
agreement and therefore should close on or around December 9, 2009.  Under the terms of the agreement  Crew
Gold will lease the processing facility from Rambler so that the toll milling contract with Anaconda Mining
can continue without interruption.  During the leasing period Rambler will have full access to the site  to
complete detailed engineering on the expansion and eventual construction.

Rambler  Metals and Mining has recently compiled an internal business plan to develop the existing NI43-101
compliant  resource  at the Ming Mine.  The section of the report concerning the underground  operation  is
already at a feasibility level while the work on surface engineering, including the concentrator, is  at  a
scoping level.  With the acquisition of the Nugget Pond facility, the detailed surface engineering can  now
be  completed allowing for a full compliant project evaluation.  Considering just the existing measured and
indicated  massive sulphide resources and an extraction rate of 850 mtpd approximately 7 years of resources
are  currently available for processing.  This has the potential to increase, as all mineralized zones  are
open  in  multiple directions.  The above plan also excludes the bulk tonnage lower footwall zone that  the
Company intends to develop once it is in production.  The internal business plan will form the basis of the
full project evaluation which will be publicly released during the first half of 2010.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented;

"The  acquisition  of the Nugget Pond Mill Facility, a fully operational, permitted Gold Hydrometallurgical
mill, moves Rambler another step closer to production and increases the attractiveness of the project.  Our
Engineering  studies  to date have shown that the add-on of a copper flotation circuit  will  be  a  simple
process and  the newly expanded facility will also give Rambler the ability to recover the 'free gold' that
exists  in  its  own  geological  system. In addition the facility provides  Rambler  with  the  option  of
processing  other ore under toll milling contracts. The acquisition greatly improves project economics  and
looking  forward  I  believe  that copper and gold represent the two metals which  are  likely  to  provide
greatest returns for our shareholders."

Further information will be released to the market at the time of closing.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada accepts
responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The  Company wishes to clarify that it has a fixed Stock Option Plan whereby a maximum of 4,465,000 options
may  be granted.  In the Company's Information Circular dated October 29th, 2008 the Stock Option Plan  was
incorrectly  referred to as a 10% rolling stock option plan with a maximum of 5,938,500 options  authorized
when, in fact, the plan is a fixed plan with a maximum of 4,465,000.

About the Company

The  principal activity of the Company is to carry out development and exploration on the Ming Property,  a
mineral  exploration property located on Newfoundland and Labrador's Baie Verte Peninsula. The  Company  is
committed to bringing the former Ming Mine back into production.

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

With  the impending acquisition of the Nugget Pond gold processing facility and its subsequent modification
Rambler  will  soon have the capability and flexibility to process multiple ore types either from  its  own
property  or  through toll milling agreements.  This diversification will create direct share holder  value
while further reducing the risk of fluctuating commodity prices.
