Connemara Mining Company plc

("Connemara" or the "Company")

Proposed Change of Name

Connemara Mining Company plc (LON: CON), the Irish gold and zinc exploration and development company, announces that it is proposing to change the name of the Company to "Arkle Resources Plc". The Board believes that the change of name, while reflecting the Company's heritage as an Irish-based company established to focus on zinc assets, will better reflect the Company's diversified position in both gold and zinc exploration and resource development.

A resolution to change the name of the Company will be proposed at an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held at 162 Clontarf Road, Clontarf, Dublin 3 at 10.30 a.m. on 12 March 2019.

A circular setting out full details of the name change will be posted to Shareholders and will shortly be available from the Company's website: www.connemaramc.com
