Amara Mining PLC: Application for Voluntary Delisting From TSX

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2013) - Amara Mining PLC (AIM: AMA) (TSX: AMZ)

21 October 2013                                     AIM: AMA / TSX: AMZ

                           Amara Mining plc
                       ("Amara" or "the Company")

                APPLICATION FOR VOLUNTARY DELISTING FROM TSX:
                  ORDINARY SHARES TO CONTINUE TRADING ON AIM

Amara Mining plc, the West African focused gold mining company, today
announces that it has applied for voluntary delisting of its ordinary
shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"). Amara's ordinary shares
are currently listed for trading on the TSX and the AIM market of the
London Stock Exchange ("AIM").

Those shareholders who currently hold Amara ordinary shares in their
ISA will be able to continue to do so as a result of the decision by
The Treasury of the UK Parliament to extend the range of qualifying ISA
investments to include company shares admitted to trading on AIM, which
came into effect on 5 August 2013.

The Directors of the Company believe that the minimal trading activity
of Amara's ordinary shares on the TSX no longer justifies the expenses
and administrative efforts associated with maintaining this dual
listing, with Amara's AIM listing providing its shareholders with
sufficient liquidity. The administrative and regulatory efficiencies
provided by focusing on a single listing are part of a wider package of
cost cutting measures adopted by Amara, details of which were set out
in the H1/Q2 2013 results announced on 10 September 2013. The delisting
is not expected to have any impact on Amara's ongoing operations, nor
on its ability to raise further funds, if required, to progress the
continued development of its projects.
