Notes to Editors

Minerva  Resources  plc  is  a  UK  based  mineral  exploration   and
development company quoted on London's Alternative Investment  Market
(AIM: MVA). The Company is intent on delivering shareholder value  by
increasing and developing  its mineral  resources in  a socially  and
environmentally responsible manner.

The main focus is resource development in Ethiopia where the  Company
has first-mover advantage on prospective ground on the Arabian-Nubian
shield. Key projects  include the  gold resources at  the Tulu  Kapi,
Gudeya-Guji, Guji and  Dina Prospects  and the  Yubdo Platinum  Mine,
located in western Ethiopia, some 560km west of Addis Ababa.

Tulu Kapi was mined in the 1930s by an Italian company. In the 1970s,
the United Nations  Development Programme (UNDP)  mapped and  drilled
Tulu Kapi.  Tan  Range  Exploration carried  out  soil  sampling  and
further mapping and drilling in the  1990s. These two phases of  work
confirmed mineralisation extending over a strike length of 1.5km. The
project is undergoing resource drilling on a 600m section at present,
after   encouraging   Minerva   Resources   ground   mapping,    data
reinterpretation and excellent scout drilling results.

Drilling programmes are  also underway at  the Gudeya-Guji, Guji  and
Dina gold prospects,  which are  located in close  proximity to  Tulu
Kapi. The drilling has shown  mineralised intersections on all  three
prospects.

The results  from  the  drilling  on  Tulu  Kapi  and  the  satellite
prospects and their close proximity point towards a new gold province
with the potential for  the establishment of  a 'one treatment  plant
- -multiple feed scenario'.

The Company  is examining  the potential  to expand  the small  scale
platinum production operations at Yubdo, some 25km from the Tulu Kapi
Project. A  pilot  gravity  recovery  plant  has  been  installed,  a
metallurgical research  programme  has  been  initiated  and  further
exploration activities have  commenced on  the 9km  by 1.5km  surface
expression of the orebody.

In Sierra  Leone,  the  Company  holds  gold,  platinum  and  diamond
exploration licences, which  will for  the most part  continue to  be
developed by existing Joint Venture partners.
