Natasa Mining Ltd

("Natasa" or the "Company")

Provision of short term loan

Natasa announces that it has agreed to provide a short-term secured loan of US$6,827,838.50 to Murray Morgan Investments Ltd ("Loan").

The Loan, which is repayable by not later than 27 August 2011, is non-interest bearing but will attract a drawdown fee of US$15,000. In addition, as security for the Loan, Murray Morgan Investments Ltd has pledged its shareholding in the Company and the Loan has been guaranteed by Mr C Kyriakou, a Director of the Company.

Murray Morgan Investments Ltd is a significant shareholder of the Company and accordingly, the Loan, as set out above, is considered to be a related party transaction under the AIM Rules for Companies. Mr Kyriakou has no connection with Murray Morgan Investments Ltd, however in light of the provision of the above mentioned guarantee, has taken no part in the deliberations in connection with this related party transaction.

Accordingly, the independent Directors of Natasa consider, having consulted with Strand Hanson Limited, the Company's Nominated Advisor, that the terms of the Loan are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned. In providing its advice to the Independent Directors, Strand Hanson has taken into account the commercial assessment of the Independent Directors in respect of the transaction.
