CENTRAL ASIA METALS PLC

("CAML" or the "Company")

Exercise of Warrants

Central Asia Metals plc (AIM: CAML), has been notified by Mirabaud Securities LLP ('the Warrant Holder') of the partial exercise of a Warrant, which was issued for placing fees in respect of the September 2010 initial public offering and entitles the Warrant Holder to subscribe for 260,000 Ordinary Shares of US$0.01 each ('Warrant Shares') out of a total of 1,192,053 Warrant Shares, at a price of 96p raising £249,600.

The Company has now received payment of £249,600 and intends to apply for admission of the Warrant Shares to trading on AIM ('Admission'). The Warrant Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing Ordinary Shares. It is expected that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Warrant Shares will commence at or around 8.00 a.m. on 4 July 2014. The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue, following Admission of the Warrant Shares, and the total number of voting rights, will be 106,597,475 (excluding treasury shares).

The above figure of 106,597,475 Ordinary Shares 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 to their interest in, CAML under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules
