   Vast Resources plc is an AIM listed mining and resource development 
company focussed on the rapid advancement of high-quality brownfield 
projects and recommencing production at previously producing mines in 
Romania and Zimbabwe. 
 
   Vast Resources currently owns and operates the Manaila Polymetallic Mine

expansion through the development of a second open pit operation and new 
metallurgical complex at the Carlibaba Extension Area.  The Company's 
Romanian portfolio also includes interests in two brownfield development 
projects; the Baita Plai Polymetallic Mine (80% interest), which has a 
reported 1,800,000-tonne 
copper-silver-zinc-lead-gold-tungsten-molybdenum ore body at 6% copper 
equivalent (Russian Reserves and Resources Reporting System) within the 
mining licence area; and the Blueberry Project (29.41% interest), a 
7.285km(2) brownfield area of prospectivity in the Golden Quadrilateral 
of Romania located in the immediate vicinity of the now closed Baia de 
Aries mine. 
 
   The Company also has interests in a number of projects in Zimbabwe 
including a controlling 25 per cent. interest in the producing 
Pickstone-Peerless Gold Mine, a 23.75% economic interest in the Eureka 
Gold Mine, and an 86.67% interest in a SPV which has a due diligence 
access agreement and pre-agreed joint venture terms on a diamond 
concession within the Marange Diamond Fields, widely considered to be 
one of the richest sources of alluvial diamonds globally.
