                                AURUM MINING PLC

                        Result of AGM and AGM Statement

Aurum Mining plc (AIM: AUR), the gold-mining company focussed on the Former
Soviet Union (FSU) and whose principal asset is the Andash Project in the Kyrgyz
Republic, held its Annual General Meeting this morning at which all resolutions
were duly passed.

Sean Finlay, Aurum Mining's Chairman, made the following comments:

'As I reported in our preliminary results, the current financial year is
transformational for Aurum and we remain on track to commence initial production
at Andash in the second half of calendar year 2008. Further exploration work is
progressing well at the Nakhodka and Tokhtonysay opportunities within the Andash
licence area, offering the potential to increase Aurum's reserves significantly.

'As a reflection of our close working relationship with the Kyrgyz authorities,
we have been granted an extension to the time period for the completion of the
detailed design work for the Andash mine. This extension, from the end of
November 2007 to the end of May 2008, increases our flexibility around the
finalisation of the mine design without impacting our anticipated start date for
gold production.

'The continued strength of metal prices greatly enhances the economics of the
Andash project and, given our progress to date, we look forward to the future
with considerable confidence.'

Aurum's interim results for the six months to 30 September 2007 will be
announced on 10 December 2007 and will include a detailed operational update on
progress at Andash.

Notes to editors

Aurum Mining, which joined the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in May
2004, is a mining company focussed on gold opportunities in the Former Soviet
Union. Its principal asset is an exploration licence over the Andash gold and
copper project in the Kyrgyz Republic. A mining licence for Andash Zone 1 was
awarded by the Kyrgyz authorities in 2006. The feasibility study compiled by
Wardell Armstrong International, also in 2006, confirmed a measured and
indicated resource base of 19.2 million tonnes at 1.1 grams per tonne of gold
and 0.4% copper, which equates to 1.1 million ozs of gold and gold equivalent.
Initial production at Andash Zone 1 is expected in the second half of 2008. The
Andash project also includes Zone 2 and Zone 3 along with Tokhtonysay, Nakhodka
and three other additional exploration areas.
