LONDON - 28 May 2008

Nimu Copper Project 6,400m drill programme commences

The Company is pleased to confirm that the summer drilling campaign is now
underway following the completion of preparatory geological work and upgrading
of the existing road access.

The focus will be on delineation drilling at the Guqing area within the
Gangjiang Licence, which is one of seven licences within the overall Nimu
Project.

The key area to be drilled in Guqing is a 400m x 200m zone of mineralisation
where extensive surface mineralisation was identified by trenching (see
announcement 12 February 2007). This area was then tested by two scout drill
holes during the 2007 field season and copper mineralisation was found to
exceed 300 metres in depth from the surface (announced on 30 August 2007).

Drilling will be by a Longyear LF70 drill rig operated by Sichuan Huefeng
Drilling Company. The Nimu drill programme is expected to be approximately
6,400 metres of diamond drilling.

China Earthquake

The Company also wishes to announce that its workforce, joint venture partners
and their families, and none of the Company's operations have been directly
impacted by the recent earthquake in Sichuan Province.

Although the Company's operational headquarters is located in Chengdu, its main
projects are situated beyond the affected zone. The offices in Chengdu have
been in full operation since 14 May 2008.

The Company has collected approximately US$17,000 for the earthquake relief
fund and in addition the Company has donated all of its tents, bedding
equipment and blankets from the Snow Mountain Project to the authorities in
Pingwu County. The Company's directors and employees have also collected
donations which have been sent directly to some families of the victims, the
local authorities in Pingwu County and the general relief fund.

The directors and employees of the Company wish to express their deepest
sympathy for the victims of this earthquake.
