NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
THE UNITED STATES


Perseus Mining Limited ("Perseus" or the "Company") (TSX:PRU)(ASX:PRU) is
pleased to advise that ore processing operations resumed at its Edikan Gold Mine
in Ghana at approximately 5.00pm GMT on Wednesday April 16, 2014, seven days
after a fire occurred in the cyclone nest of the plant while undergoing routine
maintenance. 


Perseus's Managing Director Jeff Quartermaine said that, following a thorough
investigation into the cause of the fire and the Company's response, work
commenced on repairing fire damage. 


"The effort put in by our on-site team to assess and carry out the repair work
was impressive and the fact that we were able to resume operations, as forecast,
within seven days is a real credit to all of those involved," Mr Quartermaine
said. 


"We have learned a lot of very valuable lessons and the cost of repairs has been
relatively modest."
