                        Appointment of Strategic Adviser


Trading Update

The Board of Commoditrade (AIM: CMM) is pleased to announce that it has seen a
strong operational performance from the LME trading team in its first two months
of contribution to the Company.  As a result, the Company's results for the
current year ending 31 December 2006, which will include eight months
contribution from the LME trading team, are expected to be significantly ahead
of the current broker estimate of pre-tax profit of #8.5 million which is based
on a full twelve months contribution from the LME trading team.

Changing market conditions, particularly the ongoing volatility in the trading 
of base metals has continued to be beneficial to Commoditrade.

Appointment of Strategic Adviser

The Board is also pleased to announce the appointment of Jefferies International 
Limited as strategic adviser to the Company.  Jefferies International Limited is 
wholly owned by Jefferies & Company, Inc, the global investment bank and 
institutional securities firm, headquartered in New York.

Note to Editors

In April 2006 Commoditrade acquired Tambelan Company Limited's interest in its
contract with Sucden (UK) Limited, a UK based commodities trading firm for a
total consideration of #24.4 million. As a result of the acquisition
Commoditrade's revenues are derived from the performance of the largest trading
team on the LME where attributable gross profits have grown over the last three
years to #7.1 million in the year ended 31 December 2005.  Corvus Capital Inc,
the investment company headed by Andrew Regan holds 21.1 per cent of the issued
share capital of Commoditrade.
