Response to RAID Allegations

London - Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation PLC ('ENRC') notes that on 30 July 2013 it was reported in the media that, RAID, a non-Governmental organisation, had written to the Takeover Panel, the Serious Organised Crime Agency and the Asset Freezing Unit of Her Majesty's Treasury ('HMT') seeking to halt the de-listing and transaction to take ENRC private. The letters are stated to allege that CAMEC plc ('CAMEC') breached sanctions against Zimbabwe prior to its acquisition by ENRC in 2009. These are extremely serious and unfounded allegations. Had RAID contacted the Company they would have been told that when ENRC acquired CAMEC it sought and obtained all necessary regulatory clearances and/or consents for the transaction including engaging with HMT and OFAC. ENRC is committed to full cooperation with all relevant regulatory bodies across its operations.
