UPDATE ON ŠTUREC PROJECT

The Board of Ortac Resources Limited, the AIM listed exploration and mine development company, notes that from local media reports, on Friday 12 September 2014, the Slovak Parliament approved an amendment to the Slovak Mining Law banning the use of cyanide leaching technology in gold processing.

As part of the Company's technical work programme, tests using alternate methods of processing have already been part of Ortac's ongoing development research. At present, 20 tonnes of material mined from the Šturec Deposit, under the recently awarded mining permit have been sent for pilot scale tests utilising a potential alternative gold recovery process that the Board believes will be economic.

Ortac remains committed to the Šturec Project and will continue to work with the community and the Slovak state, for the benefit of all stakeholders. The Board will continue to update shareholders accordingly.

Note to Editors

The Šturec Deposit is based in Slovakia and has a JORC Code compliant ore reserve of 1.32 million ounces of gold equivalent, with over 1 Moz in the Measured and Indicated categories. For additional information please visit - www.ortacresources.com
