Beowulf Mining PLC01 February 2007 BEOWULF MINING plc •Winter drilling program completed at Grundtrask, N. Sweden •Further gold mineralization intersected London: 1 February, 2007: Beowulf Mining PLC (AIM:BEM), the AIM listed mineralexploration company is pleased to announce that the winter diamond drillingprogram has been completed on the Company's 100% owned Grundtrask area in theSkellefte Mining District, N. Sweden. The drill program has further tested thesouthern extension of the "Central Gold Zone" outlined from earlier drilling byBeowulf. Six inclined drill holes totalling 533.7 metres have been completed. Five of theholes have encountered sulphide mineralisation comprising relatively finegrained arsenopyrite, pyrite, molybdenite and chalcopyrite. To date Beowulf hascompleted 19 drill holes. The Central Gold Zone is now known to be over 800 m in length with widths of upto 25 m. The drilling has shown mineralisation at shallow depths, under arelatively thin cover (12 metres or less) of overburden, making the depositamenable to open pit mining. The best intersection of the first hole (06 005) drilled in this programrevealed a mineralised section of 18 m with 1.77 grams per tonne gold using a 1gram per tonne of gold cut off. Results of all other five holes are awaited. Commenting on the results Dr. Jan Ola Larsson, Beowulf technical director stated"We have the results of fourteen holes to date and we believe the resultsconfirm the potential for a significant, shallow-depth gold resource potentiallyexceeding 500,000 ounces. We look forward to reporting further news as the assayresults are received."
