AGM Statement

Stratex International Plc, the AIM quoted gold exploration and development company focussed in Turkey and Ethiopia, held its AGM on the 29 April 2010 and all resolutions were duly passed.

In summarising the meeting, Chairman David Hall said, "We believe that we have positioned ourselves with a portfolio of highly prospective gold projects in Turkey and Ethiopia that has evolved through a combination of good science, hard work on the ground, and carefully considered risk management at all stages of the exploration and development process. Our strategy is to use leading edge science and the extensive experience of our senior management to generate projects and manage risk by allowing joint venture partners to fund advanced exploration with a view to taking projects through to production.

"Finding the right partner in NTF Insaat Ticaret Ltd Sti has allowed us to manage the financial risk of fast-tracking the Inlice and Altıntepe gold projects in Turkey through to production. Similarly, by bringing in joint-venture partners of the calibre of Teck Resources and Centerra Exploration, we have been able to retain a healthy cash position, enabling us to continue identifying and pursuing exciting new exploration opportunities whilst retaining a strong share in any upside emerging from the drill-funded Öksüt (Centerra) and Hasançelebi (Teck Resources) gold projects in Turkey.

"Our development strategy also includes fast-tracking our Ethiopian gold projects, Shehagne and Megenta, to define their economic potential, as well as identifying additional exploration and development opportunities in Ethiopia. To achieve this we successfully completed a £1.3 million fundraising in January 2010, which further strengthened our cash position and ability to fund the next stage of our expansion.

"Stratex has come a long way since the onset of the recession, building value into the Company from the ground up. We are now well positioned with exciting times ahead of us as we move towards gold production in Turkey and aggressively explore our highly prospective ground in the under explored territories of Ethiopia. With these developments in mind, I believe that we have the foundations in place for measurable success in the coming year."
