Limited Company Exposure to Proposed Levy on Deposits in Cyprus

EMED Mining, the Europe-based minerals development and exploration
company, notes the announcement by authorities in Cyprus of a proposed
one-off levy of 6.75% to 9.9% on bank deposits. Based on the Company's
preliminary enquiries, the yet to be published legislation would have
the effect of imposing a levy on EMED Mining of circa EUR20,000 if
applied to its bank deposits in a Cypriot bank and creates contingent
liability for an additional amount of circa EUR250,000 if it is also
applied to a UK bank deposit which the Company administers via the
bank's Cyprus branch. We understand that the levy would not apply to
the Company's other bank deposits.
