("KEFI Minerals" or the "Company") Result of Annual General Meeting And Chairman's Statement KEFI Minerals Plc, an AIM-quoted gold and copper exploration company withprojects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, announces that all resolutionsproposed at the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") held earlier today at10.00am were duly passed by the members. The presentation made by the Managing Director Jeff Rayner at today's investorbriefing is now available on the Company's website. At the AGM today, Chairman of KEFI Minerals, Harry Anagnostaras-Adams made thefollowing statement: "Welcome to the 2013 Annual General Meeting of KEFI Minerals. I am Harry Anagnostaras-Adams the Chairman of KEFI Minerals and accompanying meare Jeff Rayner the Managing Director and Deputy Chairman Ian Plimer. FinanceDirector John Leach tenders his apologies. Since listing in 2006 KEFI Minerals has been an early entrant in Turkey andthen in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, countries that are becoming attractive formining investment and are highly prospective. We certainly have not taken thepath of least resistance when we switched the main focus from Turkey to theKingdom in 2008. We were new to the country and the country had only justlaunched a pro-minerals development policy. However, we are proud to report that there is now mounting evidence that we didindeed take the path of maximum potential gain. The prospectivity of theKingdom is first-class and it therefore warrants first-class explorationefforts. We are proud to now be in a position to report a significant virgin discoveryin the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by our Gold & Minerals ("G&M") Joint Venturewith local industrial conglomerate Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons CompanyLimited ("ARTAR") G&M JV. We are 40% owner and operator. The Jibal Qutman discovery looks worthy of development and will potentiallytake KEFI Minerals to the next stage - that of a producer. I personally am proud to be Chairman of a Company driven by such a dynamic andsuccessful management team led by Jeff Rayner. And I know I speak for my fellowDirectors to report to you that Jeff maintains his commitment, drive andleadership despite the significant challenges of our sector in current timesand despite the challenges of working in a newly emerging minerals province. As a Company we are also proud to be in joint venture with such a majorindustrial group as ARTAR. Our relationship with ARTAR is deep and we havedeveloped the greatest respect for the professionalism of this highlysuccessful organisation. If the Jibal Qutman project keeps shaping up, the G&M JV certainly has thewherewithal to fast-track development. One has to say that our rapid progress in not much more than one year afterbeing granted our initial exploration licences is a very encouraging sign forour future. Our prospects are encouraging indeed as we work through our longterm exploration and development strategy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We are still establishing our land position, conducting early prospecting andlaunching exploration. The Company has been recognised within the industry for its technical abilitiesand the quality of its projects. Our reputation has been built on treatingsafety, environment and community relations as a priority at all times whilstof course excelling at exploration for economic mineral deposits. We live in very challenging financial markets. Challenges for our sector areinsurmountable for some and KEFI Minerals must continue to be prudent with itscapital. KEFI Minerals leverages its own human and financial resources by entering intotailored strategic alliances such as the alliance with EMED Mining (its largestshareholder) and with ARTAR (its joint venture partner), both of whom providesupport services to the Company, thus allowing the team to maximise its time inthe field. We will continue to focus on prudently managing the value-leverage for ourshareholders as we consider the development scenarios for Jibal Qutman. Our principal stockbroker and NOMAD Fox-Davies Capital remains a prudent andenthusiastic adviser along with the support we receive from WHI Stockbrokers.We thank both for their support. Lastly, on behalf of your Board of Directors,I would like to express our appreciation for the support of shareholders."
