Company intends to convene an EGM at which appropriate resolutions will be put 
to shareholders for approval. At this EGM, Shareholders will also be asked to 
approve a change the Company's name to Athol Au Limited.

The investment of GBP500,000 announced today enables Hameldon to implement and 
accelerate its investment strategy to seek investment opportunities in the 
natural resources sector in order to maximize value for shareholders as approved 
at an EGM of the Company held on 26 October 2009. 
 
In return for the strategic investment, TIM, also the employer of the new CIO 
will receive at the end of every 3 months such number of new ordinary shares in 
the capital of the Company equivalent to 25% of any increase of the adjusted net 
asset value of the Company over each quarterly period subject to a 
high-watermark. It will not receive shares in respect of the percentage of the 
equity held by funds managed by TIM. 
 
Total Voting Rights as a result of the Placing 
 
Following the issue of the Placing Shares, there will be 164,881,194 shares in 
issue. The number of ordinary shares quoted above may be used by shareholders in 
the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine 
if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest 
in, the share capital of the Company.
