development  of  its  portfolio,  particularly in South  America  where  it  has  recently  commenced
production in Colombia.

CMR's  Managing  Director  Colin  Andrew said, "CMR has entered  a  transformational  period  in  its
development  with  the advent gold production from our Quintana mine in Colombia.   These  additional
funds will provide general working capital for CMR as we continue in our stated strategy of acquiring
additional  exploration  projects  in South America and bringing  them  to  production  in  order  to
establish CMR as a low-cost producer of precious metals."

The  Placing Shares will represent approximately 3.8% per cent of the Company's enlarged issued share
capital  following  the  Placing, and will when issued, rank pari passu  in  all  respects  with  the
existing  issued  Ordinary Shares.  The placing is conditional, inter alia,  upon  the  new  Ordinary

Shares for which application to trading on AIM has also been made.

Notes to Editor
Cambridge Mineral Resources plc is an AIM listed mining and exploration company focussed on  becoming
a  producer  of  precious metals with an output equivalent to 100,000 oz gold per  annum.   Primarily
targeting  precious  metals  in South America, its strategy is to acquire  established  resources  at
advanced stage exploration or near term production and develop them to economically mineable reserves
through  further  exploration.  The Company has a strong portfolio of  mineral  projects  at  varying
stages of commercialisation including its two key projects, the Quintana gold mine in Colombia, which
commenced production in November 2008, and the Rasuhuilca silver-gold mine in Peru.  The Company also
has  a  portfolio  of  assets in Europe, which it is currently in the process of  seeking  to  divest
through either joint-venture or sale.
