                             AGM RESULT

                         DIRECTORATE CHANGES

The Directors of  Hidefield Gold plc  ("Hidefield" or the  "Company")
are pleased to announce that at the Company's Annual General  Meeting
held on 25 July 2008 all resolutions were duly passed.

The Directors also announce that following the Annual General Meeting
John Prochnau,  Technical Director  of  Hidefield, announced  he  was
stepping down from the Board of Directors of the Company for personal
reasons, but would continue to assist the Company in its  exploration
efforts  in  Argentina  and  elsewhere  as  the  Company's  principal
geological consultant.

Following the retirement of Mr.  Prochnau, the Company is pleased  to
announce the appointment of Sean Christopher McGrath, Chief Financial
Officer of Hidefield,  to the  Board of Directors.   Mr. McGrath  has
served as Chief Financial Officer  to Hidefield since the  retirement
of Ken Bone in October 2007  and is also the Chief Financial  Officer
of  Columbus  Gold  Corp,  a  company  in  which  Hidefield  holds  a
substantial shareholding.   Mr. McGrath  is an  accomplished  finance
professional and holds recognised  accounting qualifications in  both
Canada and the USA.

Hidefield's Chairman Kenneth Judge, commenting on the Board  changes,
said "My colleagues on the  Board understand John's desire to  reduce
his travel commitments and enjoy more family time therefore  limiting
his involvement with the  Company to a focus  on geology rather  than
corporate matters.  We are very pleased that he will continue to  act
as the Company's principal geological consultant.

"John's contribution to  the Company  since its  founding almost  ten
years ago  can  be  seen in  the  success  we've had  with  our  gold
exploration activities in Argentina, Brazil, the USA and Canada.  His
foresight in  the  acquisitions  and  discoveries  we  have  made  is
testament to his  talent as an  experienced and successful  geologist
and mining engineer.

"Sean McGrath is a  talented finance executive  and we are  delighted
that he has stepped up from  the position of Chief Financial  Officer
to join us on  the Board.  Sean's  financial reporting and  corporate
finance experience  will  be invaluable  to  the Board  and  we  look
forward to working with him."
