As a result of the First Placing, the Open Offer, the Convertible and
other issues of shares completed since 10 November 2009, including
those detailed above, the Company has raised gross proceeds of £2.8
million from subscriptions other than by the Directors, which will be

the Company near to its Palito mine and to fund the general working
capital requirements of the Group.
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New
Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that
Admission will become effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary
Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 9 December 2009. The New
Ordinary Shares will, when issued and fully paid, rank pari passu in
all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares including the right to
receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid
after the date of their issue. The Enlarged Issued Share Capital
following Admission will be 327,740,595 Ordinary Shares in aggregate.
