                          VANE Minerals Plc (AIM:VML)



                           ('VANE' or the 'Company')



                       Non-Executive Director Resignation





VANE announces that it has today accepted the resignation of its Non-Executive
Chairman, Michael Spriggs, who leaves the board with immediate effect. Michael
is leaving the Company for personal reasons and intends now to spend more time
with his family in France.



VANE is actively seeking a replacement who will fit well with its expansion into
the North American markets and believes this gives the Company an opportunity to
strengthen the board with this in mind.



Matthew Idiens, Director of Corporate Development, commented 'The board would
like to thank Michael for his contribution to VANE since its listing in June
2004, where he has helped to successfully guide the Company to the stage where
its strategic goals are now taking it into a number of different areas.  Michael
believes that the board has the skills to embrace these new challenges,
particularly with key developments in North America.'

About VANE Minerals:



VANE Minerals was founded by the former international exploration team of
Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., one of the world's largest producers of
copper and gold. The Company has assembled a highly qualified and experienced
management team with a proven track record in exploration and development, who
have spent their entire careers searching for and defining large scale mineral
deposits.



The Company is using the silver/gold production at the Diablito mine in Mexico
to help fund exploration work across its attractive portfolio.



Since December 2004, VANE has built up a substantial uranium portfolio of
properties in the Colorado Plateau region, initially targeting the Arizona strip
which holds the highest grade deposits in the US, contained in breccia pipes.
