Special Interim Dividend

Trans-Siberian Gold plc (TSG.LN) is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of the Company has declared a special interim dividend of US$0.052 per share equating to approximately US$5.7 million in aggregate.

The Board's approach to dividend payments is to maintain a balance between sustainable and attractive shareholder returns, investment in growth opportunities and balance sheet strength.

The Board will consider its proposal for the final dividend for 2018 ahead of the full year results to be announced by early June 2019.

Alexander Dorogov, Chief Executive Officer of TSG, commented:

"2018 has been a successful year in which we achieved record gold production at the Asacha Gold Mine. Supplementing the interim dividend paid earlier in the financial year, we are pleased to announce an additional special interim dividend and to continue to provide attractive returns to shareholders. TSG will have paid out US$18.5m in dividends in a little over 2 years and is well positioned for higher levels of gold production and value creation in 2019".

Key dates:

Ex-Dividend date: 31 January 2019

Record date: 01 February 2019

Payment date: 28 February 2019
