Net asset value update at 31 December 2013

The steady decline in valuations since early 2011 has continued during the quarter, with a further fall of 13.5% in the Company's net asset value since 30 September 2013.

The long awaited recovery for the junior companies seems as far away as ever and the fundraising challenge continues; invariably, they need new funds to enable them to continue their exploration and development plans.

Against this background, the Company announces its net asset values as at 31 December 2013 as follows:

 
                          31 December   30 September 
                                 2013           2013

  to net asset value              39%            24% 
 Market capitalisation       GBP1.44m       GBP2.09m

All valuations are based on the closing market bid prices or lower directors' valuation as described in the 2013 annual report.

The Company will next update the market as soon as practicable after 31 March 2014, or in the event of a significant change in valuation during the quarter.
