RAMBLER NOTICE OF EGM CIRCULAR
London, England & Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador - Rambler Metals and Mining plc ('Rambler') (TSXV:
RAB, AIM: RMM) is pleased to announce that following the announcement on 9 September it has posted a
circular to shareholders today convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company on 11.00 a.m. on
20 October 2009.
The Company announced on 9 September 2009 that it had signed an acquisition agreement with Crew Gold
Corporation for the acquisition of the Nugget Pond gold processing facility, located on the Baie Verte
Peninsula in Newfoundland approximately 40km from Rambler's Ming Mine, for a total consideration of C$3.5
million (the "Acquisition Agreement"). This acquisition will accelerate the Company towards its goal of
producing gold and copper from the Rambler deposit using the Nugget Pond Mill which is fully permitted and
will be retro-fitted to process Rambler ore starting June 2010. The purchase price needs to be paid to
Crew Gold Corporation by 9 December 2009.
The Company is currently considering various options to raise the funds to satisfy the consideration
payable under the Acquisition Agreement, including the issue of equity through a placing of ordinary
shares. While it is expected that "insiders" of the Company may participate in any such placing, no new
"control person" (as defined in applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules) is expected to result.
The Board is seeking shareholders' approval to allow the Company, inter alia, to undertake such a placing
on a non-pre-emptive basis.
The Board is also seeking to amend its Articles of Association in order to take advantage and account of
the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 (the "2006 Act").
Reasons for calling the Extraordinary General Meeting
Section 80 of the Companies Act 1985 (the "1985 Act") prohibits directors from allotting any shares in the
Company without prior authority from shareholders. Section 89 of the 1985 Act gives holders of equity
securities certain rights of pre-emption on the issue for cash of new equity securities.
The section 80 authority granted to the directors by shareholders at the annual general meeting of the
Company held on 3 December 2008 permits the directors to allot equity securities in the Company up to an
aggregate nominal amount of £197,950.00, being 19,795,000 ordinary shares. The section 89 authority granted
at the same meeting permits the directors to allot shares in respect of issues by way of rights (except
where difficulties arise in offering shares to certain overseas shareholders and in relation to fractional
entitlements) and allotments (other than in respect of rights issues) of equity securities having an
aggregate nominal amount not exceeding £59,385.00 (being 5,938,500 ordinary shares and representing
approximately 10 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the annual general
meeting).
In order to allow the directors flexibility in seeking finance, the Directors wish to seek an additional
section 551 authority under the 2006 Act (which replaces section 80 authority under the 1985 Act from 1
October 2009) in respect of £593,850.00, representing 59,385,000 ordinary shares, i.e. 100% of the current
issued ordinary share capital and a section 561 authority under the 2006 Act (which replaces section 89
authority under the 1985 Act from 1 October 2009) for the same amount. Full use of such authorities by the
Company would lead to 100% dilution of all shareholders not taking further ordinary shares. Ordinary
shares may be issued (subject to applicable stock exchange rules) at a significant discount to the market
price of such ordinary shares at the time of issue. The authorities sought will expire at the end of the
Company's annual general meeting to be held in 2009.
In addition, the directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company to take advantage of the
provisions of the 2006 Act, particularly in relation to electronic communications, retirement of directors
and directors' duties in relation to conflicts of interests, and therefore recommend the adoption of new
Articles of Association, full details of which are contained in the Notice to shareholders.
The circular to shareholders has been posted today and is available on the Company's website at
www.ramblermines.com.
