Glencar Mining PLC 07 June 2005 GLENCAR MINING PLC Announcement of Annual Results Notice of AGM and EGM 7 June 2005 Glencar Mining plc ('Glencar' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has posted to shareholders today its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2004. Highlights from the Report of the Chief Executive: • 2004 was an active and successful year of gold exploration for Glencar in Mali and Ghana in particular. • On the Sankarani Project our exploration programmes have identified 15 high- priority targets over the four concession areas. • Follow up geochemical sampling and detailed structural mapping, carried out during the first quarter of 2005, has led to the definition of four first priority drill targets. • Current work at Sankarani is directed at refining drill hole orientation and geometry on these four targets which will be drilled in the fourth quarter. • Drilling was carried out on the Asheba Project in Ghana during 2004 yielding encouraging mineralised intersections but the deposit is difficult to model. • An ultra high resolution helicopter-borne aeromagnetic and radiometric (HRAM) survey has just been completed at Asheba. • Drilling is to recommence at Asheba with a programme designed to prove extensions to the ore grade mineralisation already drilled there and those targets defined by the HRAM survey. • On the Buinja Project in Uganda the exploration focus has shifted to EPL 4705 near Busia. Geophysics surveys currently underway south of the Tira mine. • Glencar plans to apply for admission to AIM shortly.

Glencar's annual general meeting will be held on 30 June, 2005 at 11.30 a.m. at Jurys Hotel, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland. Glencar has also convened an extraordinary general meeting at 11.45 a.m. on 30 June, 2005 to consider and, if thought fit, pass the following resolutions: Resolution 1 (Consolidation Resolution) is an ordinary resolution to permit the Company to effect a 1 for 10 Consolidation of the issued and unissued Ordinary Shares of the Company. The Consolidation will result in the cancellation by the Company of all current share certificates and the issuance of new share certificates to all of the Shareholders. Resolution 2 (Section 23 Resolution) is a special resolution which provides for the disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in relation to the allotment of ordinary shares for cash by the Directors up to a maximum of 30% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company for a period of up to fifteen months from the date of the EGM. The authorisation is being sought to enable the Directors to be in a position to raise sufficient funds to develop existing and proposed prospects in Ghana, Mali and Uganda if the need arises. This increased authority if granted will supersede the authority sought at the Company's AGM to be held on 30 June, 2005. Resolution 3 (Scheme Resolution) is an ordinary resolution which seeks approval for the adoption of the New Share Option Scheme as the share option scheme of the Company, which had been in place for 10 years, expired on 6 October, 2004. The proposed New Share Option Scheme is on almost identical terms to the Expired Share Option Scheme. The Company will apply to the Irish Stock Exchange to have the shares, the subject of the Consolidation Resolution, admitted to trading on the IEX on 1 July 2005, though admission to trading is subject to the passing of the Consolidation Resolution by shareholders at the EGM. Further information on the resolutions proposed for the EGM is set out in an EGM Circular sent to Shareholders today. Terms defined in the EGM Circular have the same meaning in this announcement. Copies of all of the documents posted to Shareholders today have been submitted to the Irish Stock Exchange. These documents will be available for inspection for one month from the date of this announcement at the offices of the Company at 71 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.
