Serabi Gold Plc
("Serabi" or the "Company")

Dealings by a Director

Serabi Gold plc (AIM:SRB, TSX:SBI and SBI.WT), (the "Company" or "Serabi") the Brazilian focused gold exploration Company, was informed on 28 January 2012 that, on 26 January 2012, Greenwood Investments Limited ("Greenwood"), a company owned and controlled by Mr Christopher Kingsman, a director of the company, disposed of  all of its interests in shares and other securities of Serabi to Anker Holding AG, the beneficial owner of which is Anna Kingsman, his spouse.

At the time of the transaction Greenwood, of which Mr. Kingsman was the sole shareholder, held 18,851,000 Ordinary Shares of Serabi representing a 20.71 per cent. interest in the issued capital (the "Greenwood Shares") which have been sold at a price of 11 pence per Ordinary Share.

Greenwood also held 0.5 million warrants to subscribe for new Serabi Ordinary Shares on or before 2 December 2012 at an exercise price of C$0.75 per Serabi Ordinary Share (which have been sold as a price of C$0.005 per warrant) and a further 937,500 warrants to subscribe for new Serabi Ordinary Shares on or before 23 January 2014 at an exercise price of 15 pence per Serabi Ordinary Share (which have been sold at a price of 2 pence per warrant) (together the "Greenwood Warrants").

In addition, in October 2009 Greenwood entered into a convertible loan agreement with the Company ("Convertible") under which Greenwood made available a facility of £300,000 to the Company (which has been sold at a value of £300,000). On 16 December 2009, the Company had drawn down the full amount of the Convertible. The full amount of the Convertible is convertible at the election of Greenwood into new Serabi Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of 15 pence per Serabi Ordinary Share at any time on or before 31 October 2014. A maximum of 2,100,123 new Serabi Ordinary Shares may be issued on conversion of the Convertible and settlement of the accumulated interest over the life of the Convertible Loan of £15,018.42. The Convertible is unsecured and pays a coupon of one per cent. per annum and, unless otherwise converted, will be repayable on 31 October 2014.

The legal and beneficial ownership and control of the Greenwood Shares, the Greenwood Warrants and the Convertible is now held by Anker Holding AG which is owned and controlled by Anna Kingsman.  Following the transfer, Christopher Kingsman no longer has a direct interest in the Ordinary Shares of Serabi.
