Ambodilafa Drilling Update

Jubilee Platinum PLC 21 February 2008 21 February 2008 AIM: JLP JSE: JBL JUBILEE PLATINUM PLC ('Jubilee' or 'the Company') Madagascar - Ambodilafa Drilling Update Borehole ALF008 Intersects Further Nickel-Copper Sulphide Mineralisation in Ambodilafa Jubilee is pleased to announce that borehole ALF008 has intersected nickel-copper sulphide mineralization on the Ambodilafa prospect at 101 metres with higher grade intersections assaying 0.45% nickel (Ni) and 0.16% copper (Cu) over an intersected width of 13.9 metres from 243 metres down-hole, which includes 8.0 metres assaying 0.57% Ni and 0.20% Cu. Further significant sulphide mineralization was intersected at 260.6 metres downhole, which included 3.8 metres assaying 0.67% Ni and 0.25% Cu. Sulphide mineralization mainly of a disseminated nature with lesser net textured and massive forms. Borehole ALF008 was collared in the western portions of the intrusion some 88 metres northwest of and drilled through the vertical borehole ALF003, which as previously announced (22 February, 2007) intersected good nickel-copper sulphide mineralization. Highlights: • Borehole ALF008 intersected disseminated sulphide mineralization at 101 metres down-hole, which is largely persistent to 303 metres down-hole and includes wide intersected widths of up to 14 metres of mineralization • The intersections (cut-off grade 0.2% Ni) include: • 13.9 metres grading 0.45% Ni and 0.16% Cu (gross metal value ('GMV') US$138/t rock at current prices*) including 8.0 metres of 0.57% Ni and 0.20% Cu (GMV: US$175/t); • 7.6 metres of 0.47% Ni and 0.19%Cu (GMV: US146$/t) including 3.8 metres of 0.67% Ni and 0.25% Cu (GMV:US$207/t); and • 10.5 metres of 0.35% Ni and 0.16% Cu (GMV: US$110/t) *Prices US$/t: Ni 28 000; Cu 7 800 Selected mineralized intersections are summarised in the table below Table 1 Borehole ALF 008 Selected results Intersection From to Interval Ni Cu 3E m m m % % g/t Total 243.4 257.3 13.9 0.45 0.16 0.08 including 243.3 251.3 8.0 0.57 0.20 0.10 Total 260.6 268.2 7.6 0.47 0.19 0.09 including 261.5 265.3 3.8 0.67 0.25 0.11 Total 275.9 279.1 3.2 0.42 0.18 0.08 Total 281.3 290.8 10.5 0.35 0.16 0.06 including 285.9 287.3 1.4 0.44 0.19 0.07 Total 298.2 303.3 5.1 0.35 0.16 0.09 3E: platinum, palladium and gold Colin Bird, CEO of Jubilee commented, 'This is another good borehole result from the base-metal sulphide mineralized area on the western margin of the prospective Ambodilafa property. Our 2008 programme, which will include a significant amount of drilling, is planning to focus aggressively on this area as well as on the platinum discovery some 2000 metres to the east of borehole ALF008 that was previously announced on 13 December 2007'. Borehole ALF008 Location: 207017.568E 77366.27.395S Total Depth 347.47 m Azimuth 135degrees, dip -60degrees The mineralization is hosted in a medium to coarse-grained pyroxenite and occurs as disseminated to net-textured Ni and Cu sulphides. Disseminated sulphides were intersected from 101 metres, and although not continuous, are generally persistent to a depth of 347.5 metres (end of hole). ALF008 represents part of a 3-hole fence some 197 metres long along a NW direction, which targets part of a Cu-Ni-Cr soil anomaly associated with the southern part of the Ambodilafa ultramafic-mafic intrusion. Assay results from ALF009 are not yet available. About Ambodilafa The Ambodilafa project lies within the extensive Vohipaha ultramafic-mafic intrusive, itself some 4 kilometres wide by 17 kilometres long. The Ambodilafa licence of property is located 160 kilometres southeast of the Madagascan capital Antananarivo. The 10-year exploration licence is held by Mineral Resources of Madagascar Sarl, 100% owned by Jubilee. Impala Platinum Holdings have an option agreement with Jubilee to earn in a 51% interest in the project. Set Point Laboratories (ISO 17025 and SANAS Accredited) in Johannesburg, South Africa, carried out the analyses of the borehole samples. Quality control and assurance currently in place comprises standards, blanks and check samples making between 10% and 20% of samples submitted.
