Resource Update

Condor Resources PLC 20 December 2006 Condor Resources plc ('Condor' or 'the Company') Maiden Resource reported for the La Calera Project, El Salvador Condor Global Gold Resources up 32% Further to the exploration update announced on 13th December 2006, Condor Resources plc (AIM: CNR) reports a maiden resource calculation to JORC standards for the La Calera Project in El Salvador that increases the Company's global gold resources by 32%. The La Calera resource at a 0.5g/t Au bottom cut is stated as: Summary of Mineral Resources - La Calera Prospect Mineral Gross Gold Gross Silver Resources Grade Contained Grade Contained Tonnes (g/t) Metal (oz) Tonnes (g/t) Metal (oz) Total 1,692,000 2.07 112,604 1,692,000 1.79 97,373 Inferred Condor's independent geological consultants, Ravensgate Pty Ltd ('Ravensgate'), have completed modelling of the La Calera data to provide the resource statement to current JORC standards. The Company's global resources now stand at some 467,104 ounces of gold and 18.4 million ounces of silver. Details of these resources are tabulated below: Global Mineral Resources - Condor Resources plc Gross Gold Gross Silver Prospect JORC Tonnes Grade Contained Tonnes Grade Contained (g/t) Metal (oz) (g/t) Metal (oz) Category Loma del Caballo Inferred 2,517,300 1.44 116,500 2,517,300 39.00 3,200,000 Divisidero Inferred 2,748,200 2.70 238,000 2,748,200 171.00 15,100,000 La Calera Inferred 1,692,000 2.07 112,604 1,692,000 1.79 97,373 TOTAL 6,957,500 2.09 467,104 6,957,500 82 18,397,373 Ravensgate's modelling of the deposit also indicates that using similar parameters for resource calculation, a further 193,000 ounces of gold and 155,000 of silver are contained within the prospect, but do not meet the strict criteria for JORC reporting and compliance. Condor is planning to drill the project in the first quarter of 2007 to test the ore model, confirm the existence of the further resource ounces present and bring those resource ounces into JORC compliance. Given the excellent results reported at La Calera the Company is further encouraged that its resource objectives will be achieved during 2007 with continued drilling of its project areas in El Salvador. Qualified Person's Declaration The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by and reviewed by Nigel Ferguson, CEO, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a geologist with over 20 years of experience in the exploration and definition of precious and base metal Mineral Resources and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the type of activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Qualified Person as defined in the March 2006 Edition of the AIM Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas Companies. He consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which they appear and confirms that this information is accurate and not false or misleading.

Condor is a mineral exploration company focused on El Salvador and Nicaragua. The Company has 100% ownership of four licences and is earning 100% interest in a fifth licence contained in three project areas in El Salvador. Condor also has the option to earn an 80% interest in four licences contained within three project areas in Nicaragua. The resources estimates reported in the independent competent person's report prepared by Ravensgate and included in the Company's Admission Document have been updated by the results in this announcement and the Company's Inferred Mineral Resources, as defined by the JORC standard, now stand at some 467,104oz gold and 18.4Moz silver within three licences in El Salvador. The Company's objective is to prove up significant gold and silver resources of between 1 to 2 million ounces of gold and 30 to 50 million ounces of silver to JORC reportable standards by the 31st May 2008. The Company intends to continue to drill test targets within its Project areas. The drilling programme is planned to be between 20,000m and 40,000m of combined reverse circulation and diamond drilling. Resource Calculation Notes Resource estimates completed by Ravensgate were completed using data provided and verified by Condor. The reported tonnages and grades are in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations of the JORC Code (December 2004). Drill data used at La Calera is predominantly from Diamond Drilling and to a lesser degree Reverse Circulation Drilling. Assay determinations were carried out by BSI Inspectorate Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada, using a Fire Assay 30gm with an atomic absorption finish for gold and XRF for silver. Drill hole samples were composited to uniform 1m 'down-hole' lengths. Variograms were developed and interpreted by Ravensgate to define the observable spatial relationship of the Au and Ag assay grades. Density has been estimated to be 2.50 tonnes/cubic metre. A comprehensive rock mass and structural model 3-D was constructed from available logging and mapping data and then used as basis for 3-D mineralization shell model development. Block grades were interpolated into the 3-D block models using the Ordinary Kriging algorithm and were 'constrained' according to the local mineralization shell geometry, and also the understood structural regime. Chain of Custody Condor enforces a strict chain of custody, with all field samples being collected under the supervision of a qualified senior geologist. Samples are sealed in larger bags and kept under lock and key until being delivered to BSI Inspectorate Laboratories, Guatemala, for completion of the sample preparation phase. Prepared samples are then forwarded by courier to BSI Laboratories in Sparks, Nevada, USA for final assay determinations.
