Amendment to Scheme Timetable

Pan Andean Resources plc ('the Company') announces that the date of registration of the Court Order with the Registrar of Companies is now expected to be 14 April 2010.  As a result, the Effective Date of the Scheme and the cancellation date of admission to trading on AIM of the Pan Andean Shares is expected to be delayed by a day. The change will however have no impact on the expected date for suspension of dealing in the Pan Andean Shares which is still expected to occur at 7.00 am 13 April 2010.

The revised timetable for completion of the Scheme is set out in the Appendix to this announcement.
