Armadale Capital Plc / Index: AIM / Epic: ACP / Sector: Investment Company 4 September 2014 Armadale Capital Plc (Armadale or the Company) Positive Assay Results Underpin Value of Mpokoto Gold Project Armadale, the AIM quoted investment company focused on natural resource projects in Africa, is pleased to announce a series of positive assay results from the recently completed 2,307m drilling campaign at its Mpokoto Gold Project in the Katanga Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Mpokoto or the Project).

The drilling program was designed and conducted with the aim of expanding the current JORC resources, both along strike and up dip, and to upgrade the classification of the JORC resources by confirming the robustness of the mineralisation model.

This updated resource should feed into an expanded and updated Scoping Study, increasing the overall value of the Project. Highlights * Results confirm mineralisation is open along strike and at depth in all areas tested * Significant assays include: o MKTO-006 returned 20m @ 2.56g/t Au from 14.0m depth o MKTO-020 returned 16m @ 1.76g/t Au from 16.0m depth o MKTO-040 returned 14m @ 2.67g/t Au from 31.0m depth o MKTO-023 returned 6m @ 4.26 g/t Au from 9.0m depth o MKTO-037 returned 4m @ 4.42g/t Au from 56.0m depth o MKTO-011 returned 8m @ 1.65g/t Au from 20m depth * A new zone of continuous mineralisation (Target Zone 2) confirmed over a strike length of approximately 750m to an average depth of 60m down dip * Program successfully tested exploration targets, extended mineralisation trends and confirmed continuity * It is anticipated that the results will supports conversion of the existing 10Mt-15Mt at 1.2g/t-1.5g/t Au exploration target to classified resource * Results demonstrate excellent potential for economic exploitation of the shallow oxide mineralisation and confirm the robustness of the applied Mineral Resource model, underpinning Mpokotos value as a solid gold development project with attractive economic fundamentals even at gold price of US$1,100/oz Justin Lewis, Director of Armadale, said, "With mineralisation at Mpokoto confirmed open along strike and at depth in all tested areas and a significant new zone of mineralisation identified over a strike length of approximately 750m, these drill results are highly encouraging.

This exploration program further underpins Mpokotos value as a low cost gold development project and validates our targeted approach as we focus on the shallower, lower cost oxide resource.

These results are expected to be incorporated into an updated and classified Mineral Resource estimate which will further expand the resource base at Mpokoto, which in turn will be incorporated into an expanded and updated Scoping Study." Further Information A detailed drilling program was planned for the Mpokoto Project following the completion of an updated Mineral Resource estimate in early 2014.

A total of 46 shallow RC (Reverse Circulation)[1] drill holes were completed between June and July 2014 for a total of 2,307m as part of a targeted drilling program that focused on demonstrating the continuity of mineralisation up-dip and along strike. CSA Global Pty Ltd ("CSA") were engaged in the capacity of independent technical advisors and Qualified Persons (QP) to undertake a review of drilling data and propose a follow-up work program.

CSA had previously estimated additional gold mineralisation potential in the project area of between 10 and 15 million tonnes at 1.2g/t - 1.5g/t Au at Mpokoto.

The drill holes completed to date are part of a more comprehensive drilling program aimed at testing the interpreted mineralisation geometry for continuity, near-surface mineralisation, refining of the geological model in selected areas and converting exploration potential to resources (Figure 1).

Figure 1.

Distribution of new drill holes (blue). Overall, drilling was conducted along strike to the northwest and up-dip of Mineralisation Zone 4 (Figure 1), up-dip of Mineralisation Zone 3 and up-dip and along strike in target Mineralisation Zone 2 (not classified resources). Drilling in Target Zone 2 (southernmost area) confirmed that continuous gold mineralisation occurs in two sub-parallel, moderately southwest dipping lenses that can be traced over a strike length of about 750m (Figure 1).

The upper lens is, in places, up to 17m wide whereas the lower lens has a maximum width of 4m.

The mineralisation is currently confirmed to a maximum vertical depth of 100m (average 60m).

The drill section spacing is now reduced to about 50m. [cid:image021.jpg@01CFC80F.168519C0]
Figure 2.

Cross section in Target Zone_2.

New drill holes (blue). The drill holes sited in the Mineralisation Zone 3 area targeted mineralisation at shallow depth in the central and northern part of the "Inferred" mineralisation.

In the central area the shallow drill holes intersected low-grade mineralisation conforming with the interpreted zones of mineralisation.

However, in the northern area the shallow holes confirmed the tenor of mineralisation and suggest that future drilling may allow the mineralisation in Mineralisation Zone 3 to be joined with that in Mineralisation Zone 4 to the north. The majority of drill holes were drilled along strike to the northwest and up-dip of Mineralisation Zone 4.

The drilling in this area was particularly successful.

Continuous mineralisation in several mineralised lenses has now been confirmed over a strike length of 1,000m and the mineralisation is open to the northwest.

This is a net increase of mineralisation strike length of 300m in Mineralisation Zone 4.

All drill holes targeted the up-dip and oxide zone of mineralisation (Figure 3). The drilling program to date, has been highly successful in confirming continuity of mineralisation, substantiating the geometry of mineralisation and concepts used and has demonstrated that good potential exists in the area for shallow economic mineralisation.

This cross section represents new mineralisation targeted and discovered. About Mpokoto Gold Project Mpokoto is located in the western part of the Katanga Province approximately 250 km west of Kolwezi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and approximately 25km from the Zambian border.

The area is highly prospective, with local operators including Ivanplats Limited and Glencore Plc. Since 1998 approximately US$20 million was spent on gold exploration at the Project.

In 2012, mining consultancy TetraTech completed a mineral resource estimation in line with JORC 2004 and NI 43-101 guidelines.

At a cut off of 0.5 g/t Au the deposit was estimated to contain 7.2 million tonnes at 1.6g/t Au for approximately 380,000 ounces of gold (Table 1).

Of this, approximately 5.3 million tonnes at 1.6g/t Au are classified in the Indicated category for 290,000 ounces. CSA Global conducted an updated Mineral Resource estimation that Mpokoto currently has a resource of 11.12 million tonnes @ 1.42g/t gold (Au) at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au classified as Indicated and Inferred. In addition, CSA Global is of the opinion that potential exists for an Exploration Target of between 10 and 15 million tonnes at 1.2g/t - 1.5g/t Au.

The potential for additional resources and reserves is therefore good.

Should this target mineralisation be converted to Inferred and Indicated resources and then to reserves, it is likely that the proposed project throughput rate can be substantially upgraded.
