Company Statement

The principal activity of AIM-listed EMED Mining (Code:EMED) is to explore for and develop natural resources, with a focus on copper and gold.

The Company's region of interest spans from Europe to the Middle East which includes many past centres of mining and under-explored potential for many styles of mineralisation such as volcanogenic-hosted massive sulphide copper-gold, epithermal gold and porphyry copper-gold.

During 2007, EMED Mining discovered a new gold province in Slovakia and obtained an option over the Rio Tinto Mine and processing infrastructure in Spain.

EMED Mining has now established a strong position in the following selected zones:

Exploration areas in Slovakia are centred on a cluster of volcanic centres. Low-detection geochemical methods are being applied to these areas for the first time together with open-pit, bulk-mining concepts. The principal targeted mineralisation style is low-grade, bulk-mineable porphyry gold. The company has announced gold discoveries at Biely Vrch, Kralova and Slatinske Lazy in Slovakia.
The mines in Cyprus and at Rio Tinto in Spain, located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, are probably amongst the best known in the world. EMED Mining's goal is to restart copper production at its projects in both of these well-endowed, historical mining districts. Both Spain and Cyprus are progressive members of the European Union and EMED Mining has been made to feel welcome in both host countries. The styles of mineral deposits and production techniques are similar in both mining districts..

EMED Mining also owns 32% of AIM-listed KEFI Minerals Plc, which is primarily exploring for gold and copper in Turkey.

Significant recent political changes in the region provide opportunities as well as challenges. The lack of recent mine developments in many countries has caused lack of familiarity with the risks and rewards of mining. In this lack of empathy, EMED Mining sees both challenge and opportunity.

Regional Strategy
The Group's region of interest is the Mesozoic to Tertiary age tectonic belt that winds from Europe to the Middle East, extending for over 3,000 kilometres.EMED Mining's strategy is to rapidly evaluate exploration opportunities in several jurisdictions throughout this quality mineral belt with a relatively high rate of project turnover.

EMED Mining has now established exploration interests in Cyprus, Eastern Europe, Spain and the Caucasus.

The Company intends to continue to prospect specific mineralised belts across the region, largely ignoring political borders to develop a balanced portfolio of geographically diverse opportunities across a range of countries. It is intended that prospects will be prioritised for consideration on the following basis:

a history of previous production or exploration;
the opportunity for the Group to apply the most up to date exploration techniques; and
the potential to recover at least 150,000 tonnes of copper or 1 million ounces of gold.

Current Operations

Projects
EMED Mining has now established a strong position in the following areas within its area of interest:

Cyprus exploration areas are centred on the Troodos ophiolite complex. The targeted mineralisation style is volcanic-hosted massive sulphide copper deposits under shallow cover rocks, similar to the larger past Cyprus copper mines - three of which exceeded 10 million tonnes of ore running at grades between 1% and 4.5%.
KEFI Minerals Plc was admitted to AIM in December 2006 and is 32%-owned by EMED Mining. KEFI Minerals owns carefully selected licence areas in Turkey, as well as an extensive proprietary database of regional and specific exploration data providing a pipeline of further projects to evaluate. Visit www.kefi-minerals.com for further information.
Exploration in Slovakia is focussed on the recently recognised porphyry gold district where EMED Mining has discovered porphyry gold deposits at the Biely Vrch, Kralova and Slatinske Lazy Prospects. Further drilling of these prospects is planned for 2008 as well as other prospects within its large 100%-owned licence areas in the Central Slovakian Volcanic Field
Spain was added to the portfolio in May 2007 when EMED Mining was granted an option to acquire Proyecto de Rio Tinto, a copper mine and processing plant in Spain. The mine was placed on care and maintenance in 2001 due to then-prevailing low copper-metal prices of below $US1.00/lb.
