Zanaga Iron Ore Company Limited ("Zanaga" or the "Company") (AIM: ZIOC) announces that, further to the Company's previous announcements regarding the Company's proposed acquisition of all of Glencore Projects Pty Limited's ("Glencore Projects") 50% plus one share interest in Jumelles Limited (the "Acquisition"), Completion of the Acquisition has now occurred and the Consideration Shares have been admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"), and the appointments of Peter Hill and Denis Weinstein to the board of the Company, following their nomination by Glencore Projects, have become effective.
Following Completion, the following Shareholders are interested, directly or indirectly, in 3 per cent. or more of the Company's issued share capital:
Shareholder Number of Shares % of share capital

*Clifford Elphick, the non-executive chairman of the Company, is indirectly interested in these Shares by virtue of his interest as a potential beneficiary in a discretionary trust which has an indirect interest in these Shares.
Admission of the 286,340,379 Consideration Shares has become effective today. These shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares.
