Notes to editors


Aurum Mining joined the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in May 2004 with
the strategy of seeking, evaluating and acquiring gold and other mineral
extraction projects in the Former Soviet Union (FSU). In January 2005 the
Company completed its first acquisition, giving the Company an exploration
licence over the Andash gold and copper project in the Kyrgyz Republic. In its
State Register, the State Commission of Resources of the Kyrgyz Republic has
included 21.7 million tonnes of C1 and C2 reserves from the project, amounting
to gold and gold equivalent of more than 1.5 million ozs.
