Avocet Mining PLC ("Avocet" or "the Company") notes 
recent press speculation regarding the interest of 
Managem SA, a Moroccan mining group listed on the 
Casablanca Stock Exchange (ticker: MNG), in its Tri-K 
asset in Guinea.

The Company confirms that it has held discussions with 
several interested parties, including Managem SA, but 
that negotiations remain ongoing and no transaction 
has been concluded. 

Avocet has been considering all options to fund the 
development of the Tri-K project since the submission 
of its feasibility study in September 2013. 

Further announcements will be made in this matter as 
soon as appropriate.
