APPEAL TO THE INDONESIAN SUPREME COURT

15 September 2011 AIM: CHL

CHURCHILL MINING PLC

("Churchill" or "the Company")

APPEAL TO THE INDONESIAN SUPREME COURT

Further to the announcement of 9 September 2011 Churchill Mining Plc ("Churchill" or "the Company") wishes to advise that the Company has today filed a notice of appeal to the Supreme Court of Indonesia following the negative decision received from its appeal to the Administrative High Court of Jakarta.

The original appeal to the Administrative High Court in Jakarta was launched to seek to overturn the decision by the Administrative Tribunal in Samarinda, East Kalimantan in relation to the revocation of the four mining licenses that comprise the East Kutai Coal Project (in which Churchill has a 75% interest).

The Company's solicitors have commenced preparing the Memorandum of appeal to the Supreme Court of Indonesia which will be lodged within the required timeframe of 14 days.

As advised previously the Company strongly objects to the original ruling of the Administrative tribunal in Samarinda and remains committed to protecting its interest in the East Kutai Coal Project and seeking an appropriate remedy for its shareholders.

The Company will provide further updates when available.
