("Pathfinder" or the "Company")

Further re. enforcement of English costs orders

Pursuant to orders by the English High Court on 23 August 2016 for the sale of a total of 19,824,000 shares in the Company held by JV Consultores Internacionais Limitada and Diogo Cavaco (together the "Defendants") (the "Orders for Sale"), Pathfinder announces that it has sold all of the 8,812,000 shares formerly held by Mr Cavaco to four purchasers for a consideration of 0.8325 pence per share, generating aggregate proceeds of GBP73,360 for the Company. The proceeds will further aid Pathfinder in pursuing the recovery of its mining licences.

As a result of the sale, Mr Cavaco no longer holds any shares in the Company. The sale of these existing shares does not dilute the Company's issued share capital which will continue to consist of 142,237,061 Ordinary Shares with no Ordinary Shares held in treasury.

The Orders for Sale were granted as a result of the Defendants' failure to comply with any of the orders for costs awarded against them in respect of the English High Court proceedings brought by Pathfinder in 2012. Pathfinder reserves the right to sell all of the shares in the Company held by JV Consultores Internacionais Limitada at some point in the future.
