                                  AMINEX PLC
                          ("Aminex" or "the Company")

                                 AGM Statement


The following statement was issued by Aminex PLC at the Company's Annual General
Meeting held today:

"Aminex is focused on its drilling programme over the Nyuni licence offshore
Tanzania and on the expansion of its natural gas business in the USA, where high
prevailing gas prices being achieved are currently almost double the average
price achieved in the year 2002

The company's major drilling project offshore Tanzania is on course and the
first well, Nyuni#1, is due be spudded in August.  The Dafora F200 rig, to be
transported from Romania to Tanzania, has now passed inspection and shipping
details are being finalised.  Contracts for supplies, equipment and personnel
are being negotiated.  The Nyuni#1 location, close to the Songo Songo gas field
and the major Songas pipeline system, is planned to be drilled to a total depth
of 3,050 metres subsea to test the Neocomian formation.

In the United States, the Sabine Lake State Tract #8-1 well, originally drilled
as a discovery in late 2001, came on production on 10 June following completion
of complex production facilities and is currently producing 6 million cubic feet
of gas per day and 608 barrels of oil per day on a restricted choke.  Aminex has
a 10.667% interest in this lease where further drilling is anticipated.
Production is restricted at present due to existing pipeline capacity but will
be materially increased over the next few weeks.

The prospectively of Tanzania as a hydrocarbon province is gaining increasing
attention as large international oil companies begin to negotiate licences in
the region.  Nyuni #1 will be the first offshore exploration well in Tanzania
for twelve years and is a focus of attention in the industry and with the
government of Tanzania..  Aminex plans to position itself as a leading oil and
gas company in the region.  Meanwhile, surging demand for gas in the US finds
Aminex with a number of gas prospects under lease and an active drilling
schedule."

All resolutions at the AGM were passed.
