ANGEL MINING PLC ("Angel Mining" or the "Company")

Result of AGM and Production Update

The Company is pleased to announce that all of the resolutions put to shareholders at today's annual general meeting have been duly approved.

Angel Mining provided shareholders with an operations update from its mines in Greenland. It stated that it poured 8.31kg (240oz) of gold doré on 26 August 2012 and another one of 8.87kg (256oz) on 13 September 2012. Production during August and September was impacted by low grade and problems with the crushing circuit. However, the crushing circuit is now fixed so that all crushing can be done underground while balls for the ball mill are due on site today and a new liner for the ball mill is in transit - due before end of month.

The Company expects total gold recovery for September to reach 793oz and forecasts gold recovery of 1,940oz in October, 1,765oz in November and 2,232oz in December. These and further details can be found in the management presentation which was given to shareholders at today's AGM and has been made available on the Company's website, www.angelmining.com.

Background to Angel Mining

Nalunaq

The Company first poured gold at Nalunaq on 27 May 2011 following final completion of the processing plant and is targeting optimal production by Q1 2012 of approximately 24,000 oz per annum thereby providing the Company with cash flow which will be dedicated to funding development at Black Angel, further exploration at Nalunaq and reducing debt. The current mining plan anticipates a mine life of two to five years, subject to further exploration work. The directors anticipate that Nalunaq may enter into toll treatment arrangements with other potential gold mining activities in the region where appropriate. Angel Mining currently operates the only operational gold mine in the region and anticipates that its operation may be suitable for processing ore from other gold mining companies in the region in the future.

Black Angel

The Black Angel project is a high grade zinc/lead project based around a previously developed mine in the north of Greenland. The table below sets out the JORC Code compliant mineral resources estimate for the Black Angel project which includes three sets of zones within the mine and three satellite deposits which have been explored.

The project consists of three phases:

Phase I: Complete the rehabilitation of infrastructure to allow access to the mine, the mine camp and related facilities.

Phase II: Complete the detailed review of the pillar extraction programme within the Angel and Cover Zones, including the construction of the process plant and related systems to allow for the shipment of concentrate from the site.

Phase III: Develop a further exploration programme for the existing JORC resources at the Ark and Glacier deposits as well as identified mineralization at Deep Ice, Nunngarut and a number of other exploration targets within the license area (see the announcements made by the Company on 6 June 2006 titled "Black Angel 2006 Resource Statement" and on 30 November 2007 titled "Black Angel 2007 Resource Statement").
