As required by DTR 6.3.5 (3), the Company confirms that copies of the Annual Report and Circular including the Notice of Annual General Meeting are available on the Company's website www.fresnilloplc.com.

The Company also announces that in addition to the changes to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") announced on 28 February 2014, Lord Cairns has advised the Board that he intends to stand down from the Board at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, which will be held on Friday 16th May 2014. Lord Cairns has served on the Board for six years.

The Nominations Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has agreed, that Mr Charles Jacobs be proposed for election as independent non-executive director at the 2014 AGM, with his appointment to take effect from the conclusion of the AGM.

Charles Jacobs is regarded as one of the UK's leading corporate lawyers, who also has extensive experience and knowledge in the mining sector. He is a senior corporate partner at the global law firm Linklaters LLP and has over 23 years of experience of advising companies, including in relation to their legal and regulatory requirements, general boardroom advice and corporate governance.

It is proposed that Mr Jacobs also be appointed to the Remuneration Committee as chairman, in place of Lord Cairns, once his appointment to the Board takes effect. It is also proposed that Mr Guy Wilson be appointed senior independent non-executive director, in place of Lord Cairns, with effect from the conclusion of the AGM on 16 May 2014.

There are no other matters to disclose in accordance with paragraph 9.6.13R of the FSA's Listing Rules.

Fresnillo plc Chairman Alberto Baillères said: "I should like to take this opportunity to thank Lord Cairns for his significant contribution to the Board over the past six years. His wisdom and support have been invaluable. As much as I will miss the advice and support of the departing directors, I am pleased to have three new high calibre independent non-executive directors joining the Company's Board, namely Ms Bárbara Garza Lagüera, Mr Jaime Serra Puche and Mr Charles Jacobs. Their different backgrounds and significant experience will greatly support the Company and the Board."
