Issue of Equity

28 September 2007

On 17 October 2006 Brinkley Mining Plc announced that the Company had partnered with an additional Historically Disadvantaged South African ("HDSA"), Summer Days Trading 3 (Proprietary) Limited ("Summer Days").

At the same time, and in consideration of Summer Days contribution in the process of applying for and receiving prospecting rights in South Africa, and subject, inter alia, to approval by the South African Reserve Bank, the Company agreed to issue Summer Days 6.5 million new ordinary shares in the Company. In addition, and as part of this agreement, Atomaer Holdings Pty Ltd ("Atomaer") also agreed to transfer 8 million shares in the Company to Summer Days.

Subsequent to this Summer Days has agreed with Signet Mining Services Ltd ("Signet") to cede all their rights in relation to these shares.

Therefore today Brinkley Mining has issued 6.5 million Ordinary Shares to Signet and has applied for these shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, which the Board expects will commence on 5 October 2007. These shares will be subject to a 12 month lock-in arrangement from the date of issue. Furthermore Atomaer has transferred 8 million shares to Signet, following this transfer the Board of the Company has been informed by Atomaer that it now holds 57,400,000 shares in the Company representing approximately 16.41% of the total voting rights.
