Update on Management Change and Warrant Issue

Cradle Arc (AIM: CRA), the African focused base and precious metals exploration and production company, announces that Mark Jones is assuming the role of Director of Business Development with immediate effect, having previously served as Chief Operations Officer. This change of role reflects the fact that Mark is now focussing on seeking further growth opportunities that are similar to Mowana, involving the identification and evaluation of prospective assets in Africa, which complement the Company's existing portfolio and proven skillset.

In light of his experience in country, and background of implementing Dense Media Separation ("DMS") projects, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Kevin van Wouw, has now taken on the operational responsibilities at Mowana, as it enters into a phase of significant growth, via implementation of the DMS project, subject to securing the requisite financing.

Commenting, CEO, Kevin van Wouw said:

"As a Company, we continue to evaluate new opportunities, and Mark's adoption of this new role represents an important step in our organic growth strategy. We are very grateful for Mark's input into the Mining Planning and Management of the maiden mining reserve estimate at Mowana, facilitating our accelerated development plan."
