                                 Result of EGM


Pan African Resources plc announces that all resolutions proposed today at the
EGM were duly passed. This clears the final hurdles to completion of the
acquisition of Barberton Mines Limited ('Barberton') and the proposed admission
of the Company as enlarged by Barberton to trading on the AIM market and the
Altx* market in South Africa, which is expected to occur on 31 July.

Jan Nelson, CEO made the following comments on the Barberton transaction: ' The
succcessful acquisition of Barberton and admission to trading on the AIM and
Altx markets places Pan African in a gold arena where there is a shortage of
producers. In addition to the Barberton acquisition adding an attributable
resource of 1.36moz, it also provides senior operational and technical skills
which will greatly assist the Company in our production and growth mission.'

He continued: 'In conjuction, we are also pursuing organic growth with Manica
where the bankable feasbility study will be initiated toward the end of this
year. This is later than previously planned as we have extended the drilling
programme on this project given encouraging results so far. I would like to take
this opportunity to thank the Board for its contribution in concluding this deal
and our shareholders for their continued support throughout this process. We
would also like to welcome Simon Malone and Charles Needham as Non-Executive
Directors of the Company along with the entire team at Barberton.'

* Altx - The Alternative Exchange is a division of the JSE Limited.
