Griffin Mining Ld 26 November 2007 GRIFFIN MINING LIMITED 60 St James's Street, London SW1A 1LE, United Kingdom Telephone: + 44 (0)20 7629 7772 Facsimile: + 44 (0)20 7629 7773 E mail: griffin@griffinmining.com 26th NOVEMBER 2007 TRADING STATEMENT Griffin Mining Limited ('Griffin' or 'the Company') announces that, in the light of what the Company believes to be a temporary retracement in the zinc price, it has decided to suspend all sales of zinc concentrates until the New Year. The Company believes that the relatively low zinc concentrate prices currently being offered are a function of the significantly greater exports of physical zinc from China as exporters seek to gain financial benefits which will be abolished at year end. The Company expects this situation to continue until the end of 2007 before the 5% rebate for Chinese zinc exporters ends on 1st January 2008 and a rumoured 5% export tariff is imposed. Similar changes to lead and aluminium regulations caused the lead price to move from $2500 to $3500 and the aluminium price to move from $2500 to $2650 this year. Consequently, the Company has taken the commercial decision to maximise value by stockpiling zinc concentrate at Caijiaying in China in the short term rather than continuing sales at current prices. Under the accounting policies of the Company, no sales are recorded until revenue is actually received from buyers of those concentrates. Therefore, the suspension of concentrate sales will cause a significant timing impact on the financial results of the Company, with sales previously anticipated to fall in 2007 now being reported in 2008. As a result of this management decision, sales and profitability for the year ending 31 December 2007 will be below current market expectations. The Company expects the normal resumption of concentrate sales in 2008, with accelerated sales and profitability in the first half following the sale of stockpiled concentrate.
