SUPREME COURT OF SLOVAK REPUBLIC RULES IN FAVOUR OF ROZMIN


The Company announces that it has received notice from its Slovakian legal counsel, that the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic reinstated the title to the Germerska Poloma talc mining concession rights into the ownership of Rozmin S.R.O, a Slovakian holding company of which the Company holds a majority equity interest. The Supreme Court judgment represents a complete reversal of the decision in January 2005 where Mining office from Spiska Nova Ves had granted the Germerska Poloma talc mining concession rights held by Rozmin S.R.O. (Rozmin) to another party. The Company is currently translating the Slovakian court judgment and will provide further details as and when known.
