EMED Mining Public Limited: Amendment of Option Agreements

NICOSIA, CYPRUS -- (Marketwire) -- 03/25/13 -- EMED Mining Public Limited (AIM: EMED)
(TSX: EMD)

EMED Mining Public Limited (the "Company") announces that it has agreed
to vary the terms of certain option agreements dated 23 March 2009,
with the persons or entities set our below (the "Option Holders"). The
agreements grant to the Option Holder a right to subscribe for new
ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at a subscription price
of 4.13 pence per ordinary share during the option period which is due
to expire on 23 March 2013 (the "Option Period"). As previously
announced, the Company planned to release its audited annual accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2012 after the 23 March and therefore the
Option Period would expire during a close period (as defined under the
AIM Rules for Companies published by London Stock Exchange plc).

At the Company's AGM in 2011, shareholders approved the variation of
the Company's option agreements on a base-by-case basis to extend the
final exercise date of the option to a date not exceeding 10 business
days following the end of a close period. Accordingly, the Company has
now entered into a Deed of Amendment with each of the Option Holders to
extend the Option Period applicable to their options on this basis.

Details of the option agreements which have been amended are set out
below:
