Cluff Mining PLC ("Cluff Mining" or "the Company") announces that with effect
from 23 October 2003, a number of changes have been made to the Board to take
the Company through the next stage of its development into a platinum group

Mr Terence Wilkinson has been appointed Chief Executive of the Company in

Mr J.G. Cluff has become non-executive Chairman of the Company.

Sir Thomas Pilkington (69), the non-executive Deputy Chairman has retired from

the Board.

Two new appointments to the Board have been made. Mr Francis Johnstone (38) has
been appointed Commercial Director and Mr Greg Hunter (39) a non-executive
director.

Mr Johnstone has been a corporate finance and commercial consultant to the
Company since 1996 and prior to that was Group Projects and Operations Manager
for Cluff Resources plc from 1989 to 1996 until the acquisition of Cluff
Resources plc by Ashanti Goldfields. Mr Johnstone is currently a non executive
director of Toronto Stock Exchange listed Brazilian Diamonds Ltd.

The appointment of Mr Johnstone will add considerable commercial expertise to
the executive team, also comprising the Technical Director, Dr Martin Sharpe and
the Finance Director, Mr Donald McAlister.

Mr Hunter is Chief Operating Officer of Metallon Resources Pty Limited, a
company controlled by Mr Mzi Khumalo (a director and shareholder of Cluff
Mining). Mr Hunter has a BSc Mining Engineering and Mine Manager's Certificate.
He has extensive experience in precious metals, having previously worked for

of this announcement.

Mr J.G. Cluff, Chairman, said:

"I personally, and on behalf of the Board, thank Sir Patrick and Sir Thomas for
their support during the formative years of the Company. I believe that in
Terence and the rest of the executive management, we have an excellent team to
take the Company forward from a successful exploration phase into its
development as a significant producer."
