Notes to Editors:

ATH Resources is an AIM-listed operator of opencast coal mines in the UK with
its current two operational mines, Skares Road and Garleffan, located near New
Cumnock, East Ayrshire in Scotland.  The Company is currently the third largest
producer of coal in the UK producing approximately 1.6 million tonnes per annum.
  Coal was used to generate 34.7 per cent of the UK's electricity in 2003 and
the Company holds coal supply contracts with four of the UK's main electricity
generating companies.

The management team has been in place since 1998. It acquired the rights to
operate (and subsequently acquire) the Skares Road mine with support from The
Alchemy Plan and Bank of Scotland.  Following ATH Resource's incorporation in
October 2003, and backed by a follow on investment from The Alchemy Plan, the
Company acquired the Garleffan mine in November 2003.

In addition to the Skares Road and Garleffan mines, the Company also has a
number of other coal mining projects in Scotland and two through its French
subsidiary, SRMMC including a series of six existing coal concessions in
south-central France, covering an area of 36km2 with an estimated resource of
approximately 4.5 million tonnes of recoverable coal.

ATH Resources listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in June 2004
under the symbol ATH.L
