Medoro Resources Announces Proposal to De-list from AIM

    TORONTO, May 2 /CNW/ - Medoro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRS/AIM: MRL)
announced today that it proposes to request that the London Stock Exchange plc
cancel the admission of its common shares from AIM. Cancellation is subject to
passing of a special resolution at an Annual and Special Meeting of
Shareholders to be held at 10:00 am (Toronto time) on May 27, 2008 at the
offices of Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP, 199 Bay Street, Suite 2800, Commerce
Court West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In order to be passed, 75% of the votes
cast at the meeting in person or by proxy must be voted in favour of the
resolution. Should such resolution be passed, it is anticipated that the
cancellation of trading on AIM will be effected on or around June 5, 2008. A
circular convening the meeting will be sent to Medoro shareholders shortly and
can now be accessed through www.sedar.com.

    Rationale for Cancellation

    When the company was first established, much of the liquidity in its
shares arose from activity on AIM; however, over the past four years, that has
shifted dramatically so that the vast majority of the trading and liquidity
arises from the company's listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.
    Due to the relatively low number of the Company's shareholders holding
shares on the Jersey shareholder register (Jersey being where the AIM
shareholder register is maintained), and the low volume of trading in shares
on AIM, as compared to the regulatory and financial commitment required to
maintain an AIM listing, the board of Medoro considers it in the best interest
of the Company to seek a cancellation of its shares from trading on AIM. The
relatively low profile of the Company and inactive trading on AIM do not, in
the Board's view, justify the costs and inconvenience of maintaining a second
listing on AIM.
    As an alternative market will continue to exist for the trading in the
shares, given the Company's continued listing on the TSXV, shareholders
currently trading or holding AIM listed shares on the Jersey shareholder
register, will continue to be able to trade their shares on the TSXV and
should therefore not be materially prejudiced by the proposed cancellation
from AIM. Shareholders who have traded on AIM or hold their shares on the
Jersey shareholder register are advised to consult their stockbroker, bank
manager, solicitor, accountant or other independent professional adviser for
the procedure to follow to transmit their shares to the Canadian shareholder
register, or to contact the company's UK transfer agents at Capita Registrars,
The Registry, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent BR3 4TU or by phone on 0871
664 0300 (Calls cost 10 pence per minute plus network extras), +44 (0)20 8639
3399 (from outside the UK), +44 (0) 8639 2220 or ssd(at)capitaregistrars.com
for the procedure to follow. For those not familiar with the Canadian
securities system, public information on the Company can be accessed through
www.sedar.com, an independent website on which all regulatory filings must be
made.
