24 April 2008



AGM / Interim Management Statement

Elementis plc ('the Company') today issues its first Interim Management
Statement for the period ended March 31, 2008 in relation to the Company and
its subsidiaries ('the Group').

The Group has made a positive start to the financial year, and trading in all
three continuing businesses is ahead of the same period last year. Demand
patterns are reflective of those experienced in the latter half of 2007, and 
the Board continues to anticipate making progress in 2008 in line with its
expectations.

The Group's balance sheet remains strong with no material changes in the
financial position since the publication of the Company's preliminary results
for the year ended December 31, 2007.
