TIDMWAD RNS Number : 1694G West African Diamonds PLC 27 January 2010 27th January 2010 West African Diamonds plc ("WAD" or the "Company") Proposed Acquisition of Stellar Diamonds Limited Placing to raise GBP5.0 million Posting of Admission Document Notice of General Meeting Further to the announcement made on 26 October 2009, the Directors of WAD announce that an AIM Admission Document in relation to the proposed acquisition of Stellar Diamonds Limited ("Stellar") (the "Acquisition") is being posted to shareholders today. It is expected that WAD shares will be restored to trading from 7.00am today. The Acquisition will constitute a reverse takeover of the Company under the AIM Rules and requires the prior approval of the Company's existing shareholders. If the resolutions are passed, it is expected that readmission of the Company (as enlarged by the Acquisition) to AIM will take place and that trading in its shares will commence on 22 February 2010. RBC Capital Markets and Astaire Securities have completed a successful placing for the Company to raise gross proceeds of GBP5.0 million (the "Placing"), conditional on completion of the Acquisition and the readmission. The Placing was led by RBC Capital Markets and included Astaire Securities as joint Broker. The Company has appointed RBC Capital Markets as its Nominated Adviser and Joint Broker with effect from today and Astaire Securities shall continue to act as Joint Broker. The Placing will comprise an offer of new ordinary shares of 5p each ("the Placing Shares") to institutional and other investors. A total of 25,000,000 Placing Shares will be issued at 20p per share (taking into account a proposed 5 for 1 consolidation of the existing ordinary share capital). A circular and notice convening a general meeting of the Company to be held at midday on 19 February 2010 at 71 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4V 4DE is included in the Admission Document. Rationale for the Acquisition - Corporate and Operational Synergies: The Company will have a number of opportunities to harness corporate and operational synergies, thus allowing the operational cost base per carat to be reduced. - Accelerated Growth Strategy: Revenue streams from two producing alluvial mines will reduce financial risk, increase cashflow and will enhance growth possibilities. - Strong Project Pipeline: The Company will have four high grade kimberlite projects at various stages of development. - Strong Management Team: the Proposed Board has significant experience in the West African mining industry and a proven track record of developing mines. Use of Proceeds The proceeds from the Placing will be utilised to capitalise existing producing mines, accelerate its production ramp up, and advance key kimberlite development and exploration projects.

RNS Number : 1701G Discover Leisure PLC 27 January 2010    FOR RELEASE 7.00 AM 27 January 2010 DISCOVER LEISURE PLC ('Discover Leisure' or 'the Group') Property Disposals Discover Leisure plc is pleased to announce the following transactions involving certain of the Group's freehold properties. Trading activity at these properties had previously ceased in May 2009 following the restructuring exercise accompanying the Company Voluntary Arrangement ("CVA"), the approval of which was announced on 22 July 2009. As previously disclosed, the proceeds from these disposals will be used to reduce the outstanding balance of the "non-performing" loan of £5m due to NatWest.  Warrington (365 Warrington Road, Culcheth, Cheshire WA3 5JQ) - the sale of this property was completed on 26 January 2010. The property was sold to Paula Jefford and Christopher Hart for a cash consideration of £495,000. This compares with a carrying value in the accounts of the Group of £230,000 as at 31 August 2009 and is £95,000 greater than a professional valuation undertaken in April 2009. Herne Bay (Sweechbridge Road, Hillborough, Herne Bay, Kent CT6 6TE) - a contract for the sale was exchanged and completed on 26 January 2010 with Localstyle Limited for a cash consideration of £400,000. This compares with a professional valuation of £650,000 undertaken in April 2009 and a book value of £540,000 at 31 August 2009. Whilst the realisable value is disappointing, the Board have taken the view that this represents a fair value in the current market place and taking into account the particular circumstances of the site. Any further uplift in the value of the property would require considerable time and expenses whilst interest charges continue to accrue and always with the risk that such costs may not be covered by any additional proceeds.   The loan to Nat West will stand at £2,468,000 after applying the aggregate net proceeds of these disposals and taking into account interest accruing on this loan.  This leaves just two of the original seven surplus properties unsold. We have previously announced the exchange of contracts on the sale of the Portsmouth site for £1,650,000, subject to planning permission. It is expected that a formal application for planning will be made in the near future.  The remaining property is the closed branch at Weston-super-Mare on which interest has been expressed. It is currently expected that the carrying value of this property will be achieved from any sale. The net resul

Establishment of energy desk which commenced initial trading late in 2009. Build-out of London-based trading platforms and adoption of new technical and support partners including GL Sungard and opening of new London office. Acquisition of remaining equity in AMCO Fund Management LLP. Rebranding of the Group's principal operating companies to the new name of 'Mentum Group'. As the final part of this process the Board will also be proposing a change of name from Commodtrade Inc. to Mentum Group at the Company's next Annual General Meeting. On 24 September 2009 Commoditrade announced its interim results (reported in US$ for the first time) which included a loss for the six months ended 30 June 2009 of US$12.3 million (after including non-cash items totalling US$9.3 million) and reported on the challenging trading conditions experienced in the base metals market from which the Group derives the majority of its revenues.   Although the second half results show a clear improvement on the first half, the expectation is that the Group will report a loss for the year (inclusive of amortisation, share option and goodwill write off costs). At the year end the Group remained cash positive with no borrowings.  The Company anticipates announcing the final results for the year ended 31 December 2009 in April 2010.   Commenting on outlook, David Phipps, Chief Executive, said: "Following the extensive reorganisation of the Group last year we are now in a stronger position to build our revenue streams.  We have a more favourable revenue share agreement in relation to our core base metals revenues, which now have a reduced fixed cost component. Across the Group we will continue to focus on strict cost control and the Board is confident that the Group is well positioned to capitalise on more stable trading conditions in 2010. In addition, we expect to launch new products to broaden the Groups revenue streams as we progress through the year." -ends- Enquiries: www.commoditrade.net Commoditrade Inc, David Phipps, Chief Executive

Central China Goldfields plc ("GGG" or "the Company") Commencement of field work at Cikoleang LONDON - 27 January 2010 Central China Goldfields plc (AIM-GGG) is pleased to announce the commencement of field work at the 7,981 hectare (19,721 acres) Cikoleang gold project in Indonesia. The initial work programme will concentrate on detailed geological mapping with the aim of extending the existing area of mineralisation ahead of more detailed analysis which is likely to include drilling later in the year. The detailed geological mapping will focus on both surface and underground exposures of known gold vein areas and will include grid-based soil geochemical surveys. The aim is to extend known gold rich veins as well as identify further enrichment zones and new areas of mineralisation outside of the known veins. Jeff Malaihollo, Managing Director comments: "We are looking to aggressively explore the Cikoleang gold property with the aim of developing a strategy to add to the known gold mineralised veins and this work is the first step towards moving this project forward with the eventual aim of early development. Separately we continue to actively review a number of attractive opportunities in SE Asia and Australasia which match our key core skills." Technical Details Exploration work is being supervised by Mr Iswan Kadir, GGG's Senior Geologist with over 20 years of experience working mainly on epithermal gold deposits in Indonesia for various major western companies including Barrick and Newcrest. He was instrumental in the discovery of the Cikidang gold deposit in West Java, the Gosowong gold deposit in Halmahera and the Aloe Eumpak and Aloe Rek gold deposits in Aceh. GGG's Technical Director, Jun Angeles, recently visited Jakarta and several of the exploration areas to oversee the start of the exploration programme. Geologically, Cikoleang consists of intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold mineralisation occurring as multiple quartz ± carbonate-base metal veins and vein breccias hosted in Late Eocene to Pliocene volcanic and sedimentary rocks, similar to the neighbouring Cikotok and Cirotan mines. At least ten (10) veins have been recognised with trends ranging from NE to N-S to NW. From west to east, they are Cimapag, Cikoleang, Cinyukcruk, Pasir Gudang, Sibokor-Cisaat, Cadas Gantung, Mura Cikadas-Lamping Timur, Cikeper, Ciuluran and Ciurug Beber. Their widths are up to 1.5m wide with strike lengths up to 300m long. It is possible that some of the veins are continuous. Twenty-two (22) rock samples of outcrops and material from artisanal workings were collected during the initial evaluation conducted by GGG in November 2009. Seven (7) samples returned >1 to 22.2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold while fifteen (15) samples returned >5 to 398 g/t silver. At Cadas Gantung, a 1-2m wide zinc-silver vein returned up to 35% zinc. In 2007 a Hongkong-based company drilled 7 shallow core holes totalling 759 meters at

26th January 2010 RAMBLER METALS & MINING PLC INVESTIGATES THE RESOURCE POTENTIAL AT THE NUGGET POND GOLD MINE LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND and LABRADOR: Rambler Metals & Mining PLC (TSX VENTURE:RAB) (AIM:RMM) is pleased to announce that, following the recent purchase of the Nugget Pond gold facility, it will be investigating the resource potential within the 140L mining lease. HIGHLIGHTS * Exploration target of 13,000 to 15,000 ounces of gold contained within 50,000 to 66,000 tonnes grading at 7 to 9 g/t gold. * Low capital development and operating costs. * Permitted mill and tailings impound. * Crown pillar amenable to open pit mining methods. George Ogilvie, President and CEO commented, "The possible uncovering of gold resources at Nugget Pond represents an exciting opportunity for Rambler. Over the coming months the Company will evaluate mining the crown pillar which will have minimal capital requirements and quick start-up. With an operating mill onsite and the present market price of gold Rambler considers Nugget Pond to be an asset of significant value that could provide some self funding opportunities towards our Project Financing." The recent purchase of the Nugget Pond gold facility on the Baie Verte Peninsula, Northeastern Newfoundland (see Company press release October 27, 2009) has prompted the Company to evaluate the potential of any remaining resources within the 140L mining lease. Both the mine and the mill are located within the 100% owned Nugget Pond Property. The mill itself is currently under care and maintenance while the Company finalizes engineering design for the expansion of a copper floatation circuit. The Nugget Pond Gold Mine began commercial production in April 1997 at a milling rate of 350 mtpd and was later optimized to 500 mtpd. After four years of profitable operations, production ceased in August 2001 due to depleting reserves and depressed gold prices. During operations the deposit produced a total of 168,748 ounces of gold from 487,765 tonnes of ore grading approximately 10.76 g/t. The facility surpassed all expectations by running continuously at 98% availability with an average recovery of 95%. Since its initial startup in 1997 the mill has seen ore from three other gold deposits with almost 1.5 million tonnes of ore processed over its life to date. RESOURCE POTENTIAL Upon review of the digital database compiled during the mines closure, Rambler has estimated an exploration target of 13,000 to 15,000 ounces of gold contained within 50,000 to 66,000 tonnes grading at 7 to 9 g/t gold. Rambler cautions that the estimated tonnes and grade are conceptual in nature and are based on previous diamond drilling results that defined the length, thickness, depth and grade of the original resource and reserve estimate. Since the initial closure of the mine limited exploration has been completed on the property and Rambler cautions that there is a risk that further exploration will not

RNS Number : 1023G Titanium Resources Group Ltd 26 January 2010   Titanium Resources Group Operational Update 26 January 2010: Titanium Resources Group (“TRG” or “the Company”) today issues an update prior to the publication of its Preliminary Results on Tuesday 23 March 2010. The Board is encouraged by the positive developments on a number of fronts: production, marketing and operations. The last quarter of the year ended 31 December 2009 was particularly strong with rutile production up 96.8% compared to Q3, contributing 21,514 tonnes to an annual figure of 63,864 tonnes which was broadly in line with the Company’s estimates. The Company also produced 15,161 tonnes of ilmenite and 8,501 tonnes of zircon concentrate in the year to 31 December 2009. Price increases of between 4-6% have been achieved with customers for the majority of our confirmed shipments for 2010 production and we are pleased to confirm the appointment of Neil Gawthorpe as our new Marketing Director. In the last quarter, the Company took advantage of depressed prices for mining equipment to purchase a new IMS Versi-Dredge (“the Versi-Dredge”) for US$1.1 million which was financed entirely from existing cash flows. Once commissioned in spring 2010, it will reduce the negative impact of mineral slime problems at the Lanti South Pond which have affected production volumes during the last year. Later in the current year, it is anticipated that the Versi-Dredge will be deployed to increase overall production at the Mogbwemotailings area which contains a mineral resource of approximately 18 million tonnes at an average rutile grade of 0.94%. The developments associated with the Placing which raised approximately US$25 million in November (Dredge D3, upgrades to the wet plant and land plant) are continuing and we look forward to providing further detail on progress with the publication of our full year results.   ENDS   For further information:    Titanium Resources Limited John Sisay, Chief Executive  Walter Kansteiner, Non-executive Chairman  Tel: +44 (0) 207 321 0000    Arbuthnot Securities  Nominated Adviser & Broker John Prior / Ed Burbidge Tel: +44 (0) 20 7012 2000   Aura Financial Michael Oke / Andy Mills Tel: +44 (0) 207 321 0000    Titanium Resources Group  Titanium Resources Group operates the Sierra Rutile mine in the Republic of Sierra Leone, through its subsidiary Sierra Rutile Limited.

I had to track you down today... Sitting in a pub at the moment in London waiting for Mrs. G to finish up @ the US Embassy for her extended visa... How are you my friend..? Just to let you know, the ham is rather small at the moment! Gosh, these pints taste GREAT!

Still throwing cash into this silly share this will probably be of some use not too far off in the near future... http://www.clearstart.org/debt-solutions/bankruptcy/bankruptcy-process.html

A few are still putting £££ into this donkey...

Can not believe people are still buying..? It really goes to show on how few are so un-informed.
