FOR: RAMBLER METALS & MINING PLC TSX VENTURE SYMBOL: RAB AIM SYMBOL: RMM August 3, 2010 Rambler Signs Definitive Agreement with Tenacity Gold Mining for Custom Ore Milling LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR--(Marketwire - Aug. 3, 2010) - Rambler Metals and Mining PLC (TSX VENTURE:RAB)(AIM:RMM) ("Rambler" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into a Toll Processing Agreement with Tenacity Gold Mining Co. Ltd ("Tenacity"). Tenacity will deliver ore for processing from its Deer Cove and Stog'er Tight Gold Mines to Rambler's Nugget Pond mill which is located within 50km of these deposits. The cost plus toll processing arrangement will commence no later than August 30th, 2010 and continue for a period of 6 months or until a minimum of 63,000 tonnes has been processed. Tenacity is a private mining company based out of St. John's, Newfoundland that has mineral rights to the Deer Cove and Stog'er Tight Gold Deposits. The Deer Cove deposit is an underground gold-quartz vein deposit consisting of approximately 11,875 tonnes with an average grade of 7.3 g/t. The Stog'er Tight is an open-pit gold deposit with approximately 101,700 tonnes with an average grade of 4.6 g/t. Both deposits were formerly explored and briefly mined but have non-compliant NI43-101 resources. George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented; "The commencement of this toll processing agreement will provide Rambler with cash revenue before the end of the calendar year which can be used towards further development of the Ming Mine project. This agreement supports our decision that the acquisition of the Nugget Pond Mill would present such opportunities due to its strategic geographic location. Importantly, the toll processing can take place without obstructing the construction schedule for the new copper flotation circuit, which will be housed in a new, separate building adjacent to the existing mill building." Tenacity will shortly commence drilling and blasting operations to facilitate the stockpiling of ore ahead of the custom processing agreement. Ore delivery to the Nugget Pond mill site is set to begin in August once sufficient ore is stockpiled at Stog'er Tight. Toll Milling Opportunities Over the past year Rambler has been actively pursuing other toll milling opportunities that could provide the company with short term cash flow during the ten month construction period of the Ming Copper-Gold Mine Project. These opportunities include properties similar to Tenacity whereby an historic resource is readily available to more grass roots properties that now require bulk sampling with metallurgical testing. Rambler believes that the Baie Verte Peninsula and surrounding area holds great potential for future gold exploration and development through the use of our gold hydrometallurgical facility. In addition to tolling milling Rambler's in-house engineering department is also evaluating the mining potential of all remaining resources at the former producing Nugget Pond Gold Mine (see press release dated January 26, 2010). These high grade resources are being reviewed under an open pit scenario and could provide additional feed to the mill in the event of toll milling gaps. Rambler is a 100% owner of the Nugget Pond 140L mining lease where no underlying NSR royalties exists. Website: www.ramblermines.com 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 only 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 new mineralized lenses and the extension of pre- existing mineralized lenses. Today all mineralization remains 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 it is capable of handling massive sulphides from the Ming Mine to produce a copper concentrate with gold and silver as by-products. Rambler is about to embark on the construction phase of the project with the intention of bringing the Ming Mine into production in 2011.
