| Press Release                     |                 27 February 2009                  |

Aricom plc 
("Aricom" or the "Group") 
Intended Proposals to Aricom Warrant Holders 
 
 
The recommended merger of Aricom plc ("Aricom") and Peter Hambro Mining Plc 
("PHM") was announced on 6 February 2009 (the "Announcement"). 
 
 
In the Announcement it was noted that in due course PHM would make proposals to 
the holders of warrants in Aricom (the "Aricom Warrants"). 
 
 
Aricom has written to holders of Aricom Warrants to inform them that PHM has 
informed Aricom of its intention to seek to exchange the Aricom Warrants for 
warrants in PHM ("PHM Warrants"), the terms and conditions of those PHM Warrants 
to be, in all material respects, substantially similar to those of the Aricom 
Warrants. It is currently intended that this will, subject to the approval of 
the Court, be effected by way of a scheme of arrangement ("Warrant Scheme"). The 
notification being sent today to holders of Aricom Warrants will enable the 
prompt pursuit of the Warrant Scheme. It is proposed that the number of PHM 
Warrants to be offered in exchange for Aricom Warrants will be on the basis of 
one PHM Warrant for every 16 Aricom Warrants. 
 
 
Further details of the warrant proposals will be notified to holders of Aricom 
Warrants in due course.

This announcement is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States or 
any other jurisdiction. 
 
 
If the PHM Warrants are issued to Aricom Warrant holder pursuant to the Scheme, 
they will be issued in reliance upon an exemption from the registration 
requirements of the US Securities Act afforded by section 3(a)(10) thereof and, 
as a consequence, will not be registered thereunder or under the securities laws 
of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. No public offering of 
securities is being made in the United States. 
 
 
Dealing disclosure requirements 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes, 
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in, one per cent or more of any class of 
"relevant securities" of Aricom or Peter Hambro Mining, all "dealings" in any 
"relevant securities" of that company (including by means of an option in 
respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such "relevant securities") must 
be publicly disclosed by not later than 3.30pm (London time) on the London 
business day following the date of the relevant transaction. This requirement 
will continue until the date on which the Offer becomes, or is declared, 
unconditional as to acceptances or lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which 
the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant 
to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an 
"interest" in "relevant securities" of Aricom or Peter Hambro Mining, they will 
be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3 of the Code. 
 
 
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant 
securities" of Aricom or Peter Hambro Mining by Peter Hambro Mining or Aricom, 
or by any of their respective "associates" must also be disclosed by no later 
than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day following the date of 
the relevant transaction. A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in 
whose "relevant securities" "dealings" should be disclosed, and the number of 
such securities in issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. "Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a 
person has long economic exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes 
in the price of securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 
"interest" by virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of 
any option in respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities. Terms in 
quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the Panel's 
website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required to 
disclose a dealing under Rule 8, please consult the Panel's website at 
www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk or contact the Panel on telephone number +44(0)20 
7638 0129; fax number +44(0)20 7236 7013
