notified the remaining conditions for Administrative Standing (or
"Titularidad Administrativa"), (the administrative approval of the
Company's mineral rights) namely:
.a preliminary report from technical agency CEDEX on the viability of
the project after taking into account restrictions imposed on the
tailings management system, and

Explanatory Comments as Regards Regulatory Permitting in Spain
* Approval of the environmental plan by Andalucia's Department of
Environment and of Administrative Standing by Andalucia's Department of
Industry are the two principal permits required for construction works
to commence
* The two departments are currently focused on ensuring that the
conditions formally set for Administrative Standing are duly taken into
account in the approvals process for the environmental plans
* The current focus of the Company's permitting team is to serve
the Andalucian Government's desire to resolve these matters mid-year
and, to that end, to assemble the due diligence required by CEDEX as
regards the tailings management system. The financial impacts were
considered within the estimates reported in the Updated NI 43-101
Independent Technical Report in February, the physical works required
for CEDEX due diligence were completed in March and satisfactory
preliminary conclusions by the various specialist consultants were
tabled in April.
Harry Anagnostaras Adams, Managing Director of EMED Mining, commented:
"We target starting works next quarter. Obviously this relies on
receiving the requisite permits, the progress of which remains
encouraging and steady, albeit slow due to the caution and care being
exercised."
