("Serabi" or "the Company")

 

RELEASE OF UPDATED TECHNICAL REPORT

 

The Board of Serabi Mining plc, the AIM-listed gold exploration company, is pleased to advise that NCL Brasil Ltda ("NCL") has completed and issued a new Technical Report in respect of the Palito Gold Mine and the surrounding Jardim do Ouro exploration tenements.  The report was commissioned in anticipation of the Companys previously announced intention to make a listing application to a Canadian stock exchange.

 

 

Mike Hodgson, Chief Executive, commented:

 

"This report is an update to the Technical Report issued by NCL in September 2008.  The previously declared mineral resources have not been re-estimated in light of the limited mining and additional drilling on the Palito mine itself subsequent to the last estimation and remain as Measured and Indicated Resources* of 224,272 ounces (gold equivalent) and Inferred Resources* of 443,956 ounces (gold equivalent).

The report has been prepared in compliance with the Canadian regulation NI 43-101 and its completion is a key milestone in the process for making a listing application to a Canadian stock exchange.

 


*Note:

Serabi owns 100% of the Palito Gold Mine and surrounding Jardim do Ouro exploration tenements.

Accordingly, gross and net resources are the same.

 

A copy of the new Technical Report has been posted on the Companys website at www.serabimining.com

Glossary of terms used in the Announcement:

           

"Mineral Resource" is a concentration or occurrence of material of intrinsic economic interest in or on the Earths crust in such form, quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.

The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge.

Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories.

 

An "Inferred Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a low level of confidence.

It is inferred from geological evidence and assumed but not verified geological and/or grade continuity.

It is based on information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes which may be limited or of uncertain quality and reliability.

 

An "Indicated Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a reasonable level of confidence.

It is based on exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

The locations are too widely or inappropriately spaced to confirm geological and/or grade continuity but are spaced closely enough for continuity to be assumed.

 

 A "Measured Mineral Resource" is that part of a Mineral Resource for which tonnage, densities, shape, physical characteristics, grade and mineral content can be estimated with a high level of confidence.

It is based on detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing information gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

The locations are spaced closely enough to confirm geological and grade continuity.
