Company Statement

Caledon Resources plc is a dual listed public Company listed on AIM of The London Stock Exchange and the Australian Stock Exchange (trading symbol: "AIM:CDN & ASX: CCD").

Caledon is a coking coal producer and explorer in the Bowen Basin of Queensland, Australia. It acquired the mothballed Cook Mine in late 2006 and has since recommissioned the operation and introduced an innovative new underground mining methodology.

The Company also purchased the nearby Minyango exploration concessions in 2006 and has conducted a number of drilling programs in preparation for a feasibility study.

Target production from these assets is 1 million ('Mt') per annum from 2009 rising to 4Mt per annum by 2015.

Current Operations

Caledon has two primary assets - the Cook Coal Mine and the adjacent Minyango Coal deposit.

Cook Coal Mine (Queensland, Australia)
Caledon acquired the Cook mine from Xstrata Coal Ltd in Q$ 2006 for AUS$45.6m. The Cook mine comprises an underground coal mine (coking and thermal), with a JORC measured and indicated resource of 126 million tonnes of coal and more than 17 million tonnes of mineable reserve.

Production commenced Q1 2007 at the rate of 50,000 tonnes per month which will rise to a target level of 100,000 tonnes over the course of the year as Caledon begins to introduce the highly efficient continuous mining technique. This will be the first time continuous mining has been employed in Australia and production is expected to increase at Cook to an annualised rate of 1.5 million tonnes per annum in 2008.

An independent competent persons report indicates strong economics: Pre-tax Net Present Value of $US256 million using a 10% discount rate and expected cash flows of $US30 - 67 million.

Xstrata Coal Pty are the exclusive agent to market and sell Cook coal produced by Caledon until December 2008.

Minyango Coal deposit (Queensland, Australia)
Caledon acquired the adjacent undeveloped Minyango deposit for AUS$42 million in Q4 2007 from Watami Trading Ltd. Located 15km north from the Cook Mine, the Minyango deposit contains a JORC resource of 240 million tonnes.

Caledon is undertaking an exploration programme at Minyango with the goal of converting resources to reserves and an ultimate aim of increasing Caledon's production in the near-term.
