10 Assayed Borehole Results, Rukwa Coal Project, Tanzania

Highlights:

·; Rukwa Coalfield - previously producing near-surface coalfield

·; Mkomolo and Namwele basins - primary targets for coal resource delineation

·; Initial Mkomolo diamond drilling underway:

o 19 boreholes completed to date, coal bearing strata identified over 6,500m lateral strike distance, depth in excess of 230m

o 11 boreholes assayed to date, 10 boreholes returned coal results

·; 10 assayed borehole results reported today:

o Calorific Values up to 26.40 MJ/kg range

o Coal appears to be thickening to the north of the basin

o Testwork underway to determine the washability parameters, including the % yield of coal at a specific quality

·; Drilling operations to mobilise to Namwele at completion of Mkomolo area

·; Objective: Rapidly define a JORC compliant coal resource and assess Rukwa suitability for near term, open pit coal production

Edenville Energy plc (AIM:EDL), the coal focused African energy exploration and development company, today announces new assay results from the resource delineation drill programme at the Rukwa Coalfield project in South Western Tanzania. Management believe the assayed results to be highly encouraging and will continue exploration drilling in order to build a JORC complaint resource at Rukwa.

Drilling operations commenced in late July 2011 at the Mkomolo Basin of the Rukwa Coalfield. To date 19 boreholes for 2,266.10m have been completed with coal bearing strata identified over a lateral strike distance of 6,500m and to a depth in excess of 230m. The coal bearing strata or Coal Measures remains open ended both along strike to the north and at depth down dip to the west. Once the Mkomolo Basin drilling is completed in October the drilling rig will move south to the Namwele Basin.

Assay Results (results tabled in appendix)

As the drilling has stepped northwards through the Mkomolo basin the coal, and Coal Measure sequences, are thickening. The latest hole, MK11-019, has intersected Coal Measures of 39m in thickness, within which 10 metres of coal rich horizons are present. The drilling programme and associated core handling procedures is being overseen by Dr. R. Lowman of Wardell-Armstrong International, a leading international consultant in the Coal Industry with a view of estimating the Coal Resources to international reporting standards before the end of the year.

The Raw Coal results from the additional 9 boreholes, all drilled vertically, with coal have calorific values of the coal rich horizons varying from some 20.24 to 26.40 MJ/kg (41 samples). The remaining samples of interbedded carbonaceous mudstones and sandstone between the coal rich horizons are of lower quality. Float and Sink Analysis test work is now being conducted on several of these intersections in order to determine the washability parameters, including the % yield of coal at specific quality.

The coal bearing strata, defined here as the Karoo Coal Measures, intersected by the boreholes comprises an interlaminated/interbedded sequence of coals and mudstones, which include coal rich horizons comprising a high proportion of coal. Borehole MK11-05 drilled in the extreme southern portion of the Mkomolo Basin, intersected a very thin coal unit of

Edenville will continue with testwork and following conclusion of drilling at Mkomolo will mobilise the drilling team to the Namwele Basin of the Rukwa coalfield. The Company strategy is to rapidly establish a defined JORC resource at the primary Rukwa areas. Current indications are that the coal, with appropriate processing, is suitable for use for power generation. The predicted demand for electricity in the southern African region, particularly Tanzania, bodes well for the development of the project.

In accordance with the AIM Rules, the information in this announcement has been reviewed by Mark Pryor, Managing Director of Edenville Energy PLC, a qualified geologist with over 25 years' experience and Dr. R. Lowman of Wardell-Armstrong International, a leading consultant in the Coal Industry with over 30 years' experience.

Commenting today Simon Rollason, Chairman of Edenville, said; "These latest results are very encouraging and significantly the drilling has shown that the Coal Measures increases in thickness as we head northwards away from the previously known coal outcrops at Mkomolo. The Coal Measures in this newly discovered extension remain open-ended to the north and will be investigated further once the current drilling is completed. I look forward to updating shareholders on progress as drilling continues and further results are received."
