Exploration Successes at Palito West

PRESS RELEASE 21st November 2007 SERABI MINING plc ("Serabi" or "the Company") Accelerated mine development at Palito West following high-grade drill results Serabi is pleased to announce that the latest campaign of strike and extension drilling at Palito West has now been completed and has yielded significant high-grade gold/copper mineralisation. A preliminary mine study has determined that the access to Palito West should be developed from the existing Palito Main Zone ("PMZ") underground operations rather than using a separate decline portal. Palito West lies 200m to the south-west of the Palito Main Zone. This latest round of drilling has confirmed the previously reported structural continuity within which it has now been shown exists a high-grade zone of mineralisation extending over 150 metres along strike and over 150 metres vertically. It has also confirmed the existence of a second high-grade zone 40 metres to the south-east and a third zone some 100 metres to the south-west coincidental with a large down-hole electromagnetic anomaly. The Palito West zone has been drilled on an approximate 40 metres x 40 metres grid over 200 metres strike to a vertical depth of 200 metres The longitudinal section indicates that the high-grade structure remains open at depth. A further drilling campaign to expand the extent of the mineralisation will be undertaken in the early part of 2008.

Mr Mike Hodgson, Chief Executive of Serabi, commenting on the results said that, "Palito West has been taking on a growing importance in our thinking as the results of this latest campaign have unfolded and our decision to change the conceptual mine plan is a result of the excellent results achieved. This revised plan will permit initial access to ore at a greater depth and will improve mining efficiency and flexibility. The development will intersect the mineralisation at an elevation of 1150 metres and will involve a cross-cut of some 180 metres. This work is scheduled for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2008. This development plan still provides the opportunity for rapid future access to the mineralisation of the Ruari's Ridge prospect. Our decision to push ahead with this development is further validated by the recent intersection of further veins between Palito West and the PMZ. It is the Company's intention to evaluate these structures from this underground development" Technical and geological information in this report has been read and approved by Serabi's Chief Geologist, Mr Chris Spurway. Mr Spurway BSc (Honours) is a graduate of the University of Sydney in Geology. He is a member of the AusIMM and has worked for over 16 years in mineral exploration including three years in Brazil.

It has a significant history of alluvial gold production with estimated gold production of some 30 million ounces having being recovered primarily from artisanal workings. Present in the Tapajos since 1999, Serabi has established the only 'hard rock' mine in the region to date at its Palito gold mine, which produced 39,197 ounces of gold equivalent in 2006 and achieved commercial production at Palito in October 2006 Serabi has a significant exploration programme focused on the Tapajos region, owns and operates four surface drilling rigs and has its own assay laboratory. PRESS RELEASE 20 September 2007 SERABI MINING plc ("Serabi" or "the Company) Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2007 Highlights * Completion of £12.5 million placing provides strengthened foundation for resource and production growth * Exploration success points to wider potential and basis for short-term production expansion * First half production of 18,718 ounces gold equivalent represents a 6% year-on-year improvement * Mining volumes and plant throughput are at record levels * Further improvements to mining and mill productivity are anticipated during the remainder of 2007 * Changes to mining methods introduced with noticeable benefits anticipated at the end of the year * Management changes reflect the Company's changing status to a producer with significant exploration opportunities * Operating profits being generated by the Palito mine. EBITDA for the six months of US$1.1 million (2006 - calendar year loss of US$0.8 million) Report of the Chairman and Chief Executive Having achieved commercial production at the Palito gold mine last October, the first half of 2007 has brought with it a number of important successes that highlight the company's future potential and at the same time a number of new challenges. Taken together, Serabi has established a strong platform and is now ready to move forward to the next stage, which is intended to position the company for significant growth. Exploration and Development Without doubt the exploration success we have previously reported at Jardim do Ouro over the Ruari's Ridge, Chico da Santa and Palito West prospects, is one of the highlights of the period and provides tangible evidence of the wider potential of the Jardim do Ouro district. We are confident that as we step further away from the Palito Main Zone, we will continue to discover new prospects of similar character which can serve as satellite mining operations for a central plant and a basis for resource and production growth. With this objective in mind, we successfully completed the placing of new ordinary shares in July to raise gross proceeds of US$25 million. Combined with cash flow from current operations, the funds will in part allow us to evaluate in detail the Ruari's Ridge, Palito West and Chico da Santa prospects. We would anticipate that a successful evaluation will enable Serabi to introduce production from these prospects into our planning for 2008, leading to an annualised production rate of some 60,000 ounces gold equivalent during the year. . At the same time we are significantly stepping up our exploration programme across the wider Jardim do Ouro district and Tapajos region, in order to identify and evaluate the extent of other targets that we believe exist in this area. Following from the success of ground electromagnetic surveys ("EM") in identifying mineralised areas at Chico da Santa and Palito South areas, the first stage of this programme will be to carry out in October a helicopter borne EM survey covering over 5,000 hectares of the Jardim do Ouro area. The characteristics of Palito mineralisation are such that the EM survey highlights potential 'hotspots'. Combined with information obtained from other exploration work, the results are expected rapidly to produce a number of targets for drilling. We are confident that such an approach should have a high rate of success in locating the sulphide mineralisation which is associated with the gold occurrences at Jardim do Ouro. Meanwhile, evaluation work continues apace at the Ruari's Ridge, Palito West and Chico da Santa prospects. We are very encouraged in particular by the strike extension that has recently been identified on the Palito West prospect, together with the high-grade intersections that the detailed drilling programme is producing. Additionally, we note that some of the mineralised structures of the Chico da Santa prospect are located closer to the Palito Main Zone mining operation than had been previously thought. If this is substantiated by further drilling, then it is likely that we will be able to access the Chico da Santa ore veins for production by the rapid development of a cross-cut drive from the existing Palito mine, thus avoiding the need for a more costly decline access solely for the exploitation of this area. Operations In recent months underground mining has been adapted to a 'cut-and-fill' method. Whilst production results for the first half of the year exceeded those for the same period last year, it has been disappointing that the long-hole stope mining method introduced at the end of 2006 has not yielded the productivity improvements that were anticipated. We have not abandoned this method and continue to look at solutions that will allow us to deliver the ore quantities at the desired feed grade to the plant using this technique. In the meantime, 'cut and fill' enables more selective ore extraction and reduces the unplanned dilution that occurred with long-hole mining. The economic benefit of the higher stoping grade that can be achieved by the more precise cut-and-fill technique substantially offsets this slower and slightly more costly option. In anticipation of the need for equipment for the development of Ruari's Ridge, Palito West and Chico da Santa, and the lead times involved, orders have recently been placed for key additional underground equipment. This includes the introduction of narrow scooptrams, which we expect will result in a significant improvement of the feed grade achieved from development drives by reducing the levels of dilution by waste rock still further. The plant is as a consequence of lower dilution able to produce the same level of gold whilst treating less ore and in so doing free up plant capacity and reduce plant operating costs. Current lead times for delivery indicate that this equipment should be on site towards the end of 2007 with the resultant benefits becoming evident early in 2008. In the meantime the mine plan for the last quarter of 2007 does include a higher ratio of stoping ore to development than we have seen to date and at this stage we project full year production to show a small increase on 2006 levels. The plant continues to function well with recoveries in excess of 90%. In anticipation of changes required to meet the increased level of production in 2008, we are considering the installation of additional CIP capacity. At current production levels, studies indicate that this would increase total recovery by at least 2%, generating a capital pay-back within six months. Finance In reviewing the financial statements for the period it is necessary to bear in mind that the comparative full year 2006 figures comprise Revenue, Operating Expenses and Depreciation of the Mine Asset for a 3 month (fourth quarter) period whilst the remaining expenses are for the full 12 month period. This reflects the commencement of Commercial Production at the end of September 2006 and the concurrent cessation of the policy of capitalisation of costs and revenues associated with the mining operations up to that date. This principal has been discussed in more detail in the 2006 Annual Report. The company is generating operating profits from the Palito mine, with EBITDA for the six months of US$1.1 million, against a loss for the 2006 calendar year of US$0.8 million. Higher unit costs than the preceding period are related to the already reported lower production, rather than an escalating cost base. As is expanded on below, at a head-line level we believe the financial results for the first 6 months of 2007 do not reflect the long-term outlook or the continuing efficiency drives that are being implemented. Operating cash costs for Q4 2006 before accounting for copper and silver credits was BrR$ 10.1 million compared with an average quarterly cost in the first half of 2007 of BrR$ 10.2 million. Notwithstanding the obvious effect of lower gold production resulting from reported lower feed grades, two other factors have also influenced our current unit costs of production. In line with industry standards costs per ounce are calculated after deducting by-product credits from the base operating costs. In Q4 2006 we produced 224.6 tonnes of copper and generated a by-product credit of $1.75 million. For the first half of 2007 copper credits were $1.7 million, based on production of 252.6 tonnes. Secondly, the continued appreciation of the Brazilian Real has increased our US$ denominated costs by 6.3% against Q4 2006. In the short term, plans to increase feed grades are expected to deliver direct bottom line improvements. If we are able to maintain current ore volumes at higher grades there will be minimal effect on the cost base, which is primarily linked to volumes processed and not grade. Our reported Q4 2006 cost per ounce gold equivalent was US$252. On a like-for-like basis (exchange and by-product credits) the figure would have been $344 per ounce gold equivalent. Given that our production for the first six months was below plan and averaged 80% of the Q4 2006 levels the cash cost of $442 per ounce whilst disappointing does not reflect a long-term trend and we expect to see direct improvement with better grade and thus production. The average cash costs over the six month period were significantly influenced by low gold production in the first two months of the year and since March we have seen improvements with cash costs averaging $370 per ounce over the last four months. The short-fall in production in the early part of the year also placed short term pressure on cash flow during this six month period and required the Company to enter into some short term arrangements in Brazil with a consequent impact on interest charges in the period. These arrangements have been eliminated and we would expect a significant reduction in this cost in the second half of the year. The potential to develop new areas within Chico da Santa, Palito West and Ruari's Ridge will increase flexibility further and generate economies of scale as mined volumes increase through 2008. In the meantime we are, given current prices and our balance sheet strength, in a strong financial position to achieve our medium term objectives. Personnel Finally, shareholders were recently made aware of significant management changes that took place at the end of August. We would like to reiterate our gratitude to Bill Clough and Sergio Aquino, the co-founders of the Company, for their efforts and commitment in bringing Serabi to where it is today. As Serabi enters the next stage in its development, we are pleased that both Bill and Sergio will remain closely involved with Serabi as both shareholders and executives. This continued contribution is highly valued and we take this opportunity to express sincere thanks to them both. Mike Hodgson, our new Chief Executive, and Wanderlan Almeida, our new Managing Director of Serabi Mineracao, are two individuals with almost 50 years of operational experience between them, which bodes well for Serabi being able to meet its production growth plans.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements 1. Basis of preparation These interim accounts are for the six month period ended 30 June 2007. Comparative information has been provided for the unaudited six month period to 30 June 2006 and the audited twelve month period from 1 January to 31 December 2006. The accounts for the period have been prepared in accordance with the policies which the Group will adopt for its annual accounts, notably: (i) the Financial Statements are presented in US Dollars. They are prepared on the historical cost basis or the fair value basis where the fair valuing of relevant assets and liabilities has been applied. The financial statements whilst not statutory accounts have been prepared otherwise in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and their interpretations issued by the Accounting Standards Board and adopted for use within the European Union (IFRS); (ii) all costs related to the exploration of mineral properties are capitalised and deferred until either the properties are demonstrated to be commercially feasible or until the properties are sold, allowed to lapse or abandoned, at which time any capitalised costs are written off to the income statement. All costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal right to undertake exploration and evaluation activities on a project are written off as incurred. Exploration and evaluation costs arising following the acquisition of an exploration licence are capitalised on a project by project basis, pending determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the project. Costs incurred include appropriate technical and administrative overheads, but not general overheads. Deferred exploration costs are carried at historical cost less any impairment losses recognised. Property, plant and equipment used in the Group's exploration activities are separately reported; (iii) inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value; (iv) property, plant and equipment is depreciated over its useful life; (v) the Group commenced commercial production at the Palito mine effective 1 October 2006. Prior to this date all revenues and operating costs were capitalised as part of the development costs of the mine. Effective from 1 October 2006 the accumulated development costs of the mine were re-classified as Mining Property costs and such cost is being amortised over the anticipated life of the mine on a unit of production basis; (vi) revenues are recognised only at the time of sale. Any unsold production and in particular concentrate is held as inventory and valued at production cost until sold. 2. Taxation Taxation represents a provision for corporate taxes due on taxable profits arising in Brazil. No deferred tax asset arising from carried forward losses incurred outside of Brazil has been recognised in the financial statements because of uncertainty as to the time period over which this asset may be recovered. 3.

Transition to IFRS The Company adopted the provisions of IFRS in preparing its financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006. The effect on the Group's financial statements of the transition to IFRS was explained in the Transition Document published on 13 March 2007. For the purposes of comparison the financial statements of the group as at 30 June 2006 have been restated in accordance with IFRS as follows; Effect of transition to IFRS IFRS UK GAAP (unaudited) (unaudited) Non Current Assets 25,690,074 1,033,719 26,723,793 Current Assets 9,852,498 9,852,498 Current Liabilities (3,326,254) - (3,326,254) Non Current Liabilities (658,967) - (658,967) Net Assets 31,557,351 1,033,719 32,591,070 Equity Shareholders 31,557,351 1,033,719 32,591,070 Funds The adjustment between UK GAAP and IFRS represents the need to vary the Group's previous UK GAAP compliant policy on translation of non monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies to comply with IFRS.
