COMPOSITION OF ST BARBARA BOARD POST COMBINATION WITH ALLIED GOLD AND
RELEASE OF PRESENTATION ON FY12 FULL YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

As announced on 29 June 2012, as part of the combination proposal for
Allied Gold Mining Plc ("Allied Gold"), St Barbara expected to appoint
up to two Directors of Allied Gold to the positions of either
Non-Executive Director or consultant (to be mutually agreed between St
Barbara and Allied Gold).

Allied Gold has advised the Company that no Non-Executive Director or
consultancy positions will be taken by any of the Directors of Allied
Gold.

Therefore, the St Barbara Limited Board as presently constituted will
remain unchanged.

The anticipated date for change of control of Allied Gold, subject to
the Allied Gold Scheme being sanctioned by the UK Court, is 7 September
2012.

St Barbara Limited also announces that it has released a presentation
on its FY12 full year financial report, this morning, 24 August 2012.
