Caledon Resources PLC
28 April 2006



PRESS RELEASE


April 27, 2006



Mojiang Drill Update

Caledon Resources ('Caledon' or 'the Company') is pleased to report on further
interim results from current drilling in the Mojiang gold project, situated in
South-western Yunnan Province, PRC.


Drilling operations at Mojiang commenced in early February 2006, with a planned
programme of 2500 meters of Reverse Circulation (43 holes) drilling and 1500
metres (22 holes) of diamond drilling. To date, 43 RC holes and 6 diamond drill
holes have been completed for a total length of 2525 metres.


Highlights from the recent Mojiang drilling include:


- MJDDH009 intersected 10.12 g/t gold over 26.00 metres
- MJRC057 intersected 4.84 g/t gold over 5.00 metres
- MJRC059 intersected 2.54 g/t gold over 45.00 metres
- MJRC061 intersected 1.54 g/t gold over 24.00 metres
- MJRC071 intersected 2.29 g/t gold over 16.00 metres
- MJRC074 intersected 8.85 g/t gold over 1.00 metre
- MJRC075 intersected 15.35 g/t gold over 2.00 metres


A complete breakdown of these results has been included as an appendix to this
press release.


Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling operations have been completed at Mojiang,
while diamond drilling continues to progress. A further 16 holes for a total of
1100 metres of drilling remain to be completed.


Caledon's technical management team continues to be satisfied with the results
obtained to date from the 2006 drilling program, with excellent mineralisation
continuity established and at the same time preserving the significant upside
potential of the property.


Results to date (see releases: March 1st and March 29th, 2006) continue to prove
the existence of a flat-lying near surface zone of disseminated gold
mineralisation, averaging 20 to 40 metres in true thickness, occurring over a
strike length in excess of 2 kilometers. More narrow (2 to 10 metre wide) zones
of high grade gold mineralisation cross-cut the low grade zones, occurring as
banded epithermal veins and intense silification.


Upon completion of the drill programme in June, Caledon's field crews will begin
the task of resource modeling using geological, structural and assay data
collected from the 2005 and 2006 drill programs. Once this step has been
completed, the resource model and drill hole database will be passed to SRK
Consulting, who have been engaged by Caledon to complete a resource estimate at
Mojiang. This resource estimate should be completed in 2006.


The Mojiang goldmine is situated in Yunnan Province, South Western China and
lies 200 kms southwest of the provincial capital city of Kunming and 10 kms
northeast of Mojiang City. In 2004, an agreement was signed between Caledon
Resources PLC (Caledon) and the Mojiang Mining Company to conduct exploration at
the Mojiang goldmine. Caledon has the right to acquire 70% of the project.


Harry Mustard (MAusIMM), Caledon Resources' Senior Geologist, is the 'competent
person' as defined by London AIM's recent 'Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas
Companies, March, 2006 - AIM 16'. Mr. Mustard is overseeing the company's
exploration work at Mojiang and supervised the preparation of the information in
this release.

PRESS RELEASE


June 26, 2006

Heads of Agreement Signed with Hodges Resources Limited Regarding Option to
Acquire Caledon's Chinese Exploration Projects in Guangxi and Yunnan

Caledon Resources ('Caledon' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce the
signing of a Heads of Agreement with Hodges Resources Limited ('Hodges'), an
Australian Stock Exchange listed company trading under the symbol 'HDG'

The Heads of Agreement (HOA) with Hodges sets out the terms under which they may
exercise an option to acquire Caledon's existing interests in all of the
Company's Chinese exploration projects including, Hengxian, Gaolong, Badu and
Mojiang.

Up until recently, Hodges Resources have primarily focussed their efforts on
exploration in Australia. They currently have a treasury of $AUS 2.7 million
which Caledon regards as sufficient to maintain a valid exploration program in
China, carrying on from existing work programs and commitments that are
currently in-place.

Completion of this transaction will allow Caledon to maintain a direct interest
and management control of its Chinese assets, while providing the Company with
enhanced ability to focus its senior management and financial resources on
completing its recently announced producing coking coal asset acquisition
strategy in Australia (see June 19th press release 'Caledon Resources Signs
Heads of Agreement with Xstrata Coal Pty Limited to Acquire the Cook Coking
Coal Mine Operation in Australia').

Agreement Terms

In consideration for a complete transfer of Caledon's ownership in all of its
projects situated in Guangxi provinces (Gaolong, Badu and Hengxian),
Caledon will be issued 3,033,000 shares in Hodges within two months of
completion of their due diligence period. This share ownership will make
Caledon the largest shareholder of Hodges, with an ownership interest
of approximately 14.9%. Hodges currently has 20 million shares on issue.

Also under the terms of the HOA, Caledon will grant Hodges a 13 month option to
acquire the Company's current interest in the Mojiang gold property in Yunnan
province. The exercise of Hodges' option to acquire Caledon's Mojiang interest
will be subject to the following:

AUS $6 million in cash or shares in Hodges to be issued to Caledon upon
exercise of the option,
a further AUS $6 million to be paid to Caledon within six months of
commencement of commercial mining,
a net smelter return royalty of 2% until total royalty payment of A$10
million, thereafter at 0.5% until a total royalty payment of A$15 million,
thereafter at 0.25%.

In consideration of both options granted to Hodges, Caledon has been given the
right to occupy two seats on Hodges' Board of Directors.

Completion of a full-form agreement with Hodges is subject to due diligence to
be conducted over the next 2 months.

Management Commentary

George Salamis, CEO of Caledon reports: 'We remain strong believers in China. In
light of our recently announced change in direction, away from pure exploration
and towards becoming a resource producer of our own right with mine production
in Australia, this transaction with Hodges is a logical next step. The deal with
Hodges will afford our shareholders an opportunity to maintain exposure to the
highly prospective Chinese mining scene, providing continuity to the work
initiated in China over 3 years ago. We look forward to working side-by-side
with Hodge's management, both corporately and on the ground in China, towards
rewarding both company's shareholders with future success in China'.


Amendment to June 19th Press Release

Caledon Resources wishes to issue an amendment to its June 19th 2006 press
release regarding the signing of a Heads of Agreement re: the Cook Coking Coal
Mine. Caledon has agreed upon and signed a Heads of Agreement with Xstrata Coal
Pty Limited, which is a subsidiary of Xstrata plc, and not with Xstrata Mining
Limited as originally stated. In addition, Caledon also wishes to amend the
original wording regarding the quotation of mineral resources on the Cook Mine
property, to read 'Xstrata Coal Pty has quoted an in situ resource base
(Measured and Indicated, JORC standard) of 126 million tonnes of coal for the
Cook Mine' and not: 'Xstrata has quoted a reserve base (Measured and Indicated,
JORC basis) of 126 million tonnes of coal for the Cook Mine'.

Robert Alford George Salamis

PRESS RELEASE


September 13, 2006

Excellent Results On Completion of Major Drill Programme at Mojiang

Caledon Resources Plc ('Caledon' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce the
completion of major drilling operations on the Mojiang gold project, situated in
South-western Yunnan Province, PRC.

The programme consisted of 2,592 metres of reverse circulation (43 holes)
drilling and 1,603 metres (24 holes) of diamond drilling and took 5 months to
complete. The aim of the drilling was threefold:

1. To further test and better define areas of near surface higher grade
mineralisation.
2. Close-up drill spacing to allow detailed geological and structural analysis
to be used in a resource/reserve estimate to be conducted by SRK Engineering
('SRK')
3. Use larger diameter drill core to allow for sufficient sample to be recovered
for further metallurgical test work.

Highlights from the recent Mojiang drilling include:

MJDDH013 intersected 2.05 g/t gold over 14metres
MJDDH018 intersected 8.31 g/t gold over 1.75 metres
MJDDH020 intersected 1.32 g/t gold over 35.80 metres
MJDDH 022 intersected 17.10 g/t gold over 2.30 metres
MJDDH 023 intersected 34.70 g/t gold over 1.30 metres
MJDDH 024 intersected 2.70 g/t gold over 18 metres
MJDDH 025 intersected 2.03 g/t gold over 14 metres
MJDDH 027 intersected 7.24 g/t gold over 10 metres
MJDDH 028 intersected 46.9 g/t gold over 2 metres
MJDDH 030 intersected 5.43 g/t gold over 6 metres
MJDDH 031 intersected 17.9 g/t gold over 2.5 metres

A complete summary of all significant results has been included as an appendix
to this press release.

Results for the reverse circulation drilling and earlier completed diamond holes
were published in the April 28th press release.

The results of the recently completed programme again confirm the continuity of
mineralisation and presence of thick (>30m) zones of mineralisation interspersed
with narrow bonanza grade epithermal vein style mineralisation.

The recently completed programme combined with earlier drilling completed by
Caledon brings the drill hole spacing down to a an average of 20 metres by 30
metres in the two areas selected for more intense drilling (45 N to 50 N and 56
N to 59 N). This pattern of drilling was planned to allow for detailed
geological and structural control on the estimation of gold resources, to be
completed by SRK in the 3rd Quarter of 2006. Once all final trace element
results have been received for the drilling, the updated database will be
forwarded to SRK to complete the independent resource estimate. A decision to
commence with a scoping study on the Mojiang Project will be made on the basis
of SRK's results.

Once all final trace element results have been received, representative core
samples will be sent to Ore Test Laboratories (SGS) in Perth, Australia for
further metallurgical test work.

Previous shallow drilling at Mojiang, conducted by the company between January
and June 2005, has successfully identified a relatively flat lying, near surface
zone of gold mineralisation occurring over a strike length in excess of two
kilometres and hosting an average zone thickness of approximately 40 metres.
Past drilling also identified selected sections of epithermal-style bonanza
grade mineralisation, in some instances in excess of 50 g/t gold over economic
widths.

Drilling conducted last year has highlighted deeper (150-200 metres below
surface) high grade depth potential at Mojiang with intercepts reporting up to
18 metres wide assaying 15.38 g/t gold. This potential remains to be properly
tested.

Harry Mustard (AIG), Caledon Resources' Senior Geologist, is the 'competent
person' as defined by London AIM's recent 'Guidance Note for Mining, Oil and Gas
Companies, March, 2006 - AIM 16'. Mr. Mustard is overseeing the company's
exploration work at Mojiang and supervised the preparation of the information in
this release.

Caledon Resources secures option to buy Australia's Minyango coal mine
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - Caledon Resources PLC said it secured the option to acquire the Minyango coal deposit in Australia.

The group signed the option agreement with Red Flint International Ltd. It will buy the asset in stages, with the final payment due late next year. The deal is estimated to cost around 42 mln aud, part of which may be paid in Caledon shares.

Minyango has an inferred coal resource of 500 mln tonnes. It is located 15 kilometres from the 126-mln tonne Cook coal mine, which Caledon bought from Xstrata PLC last month.

'Caledon has commenced the shift of focus from solely being an explorer to a producing coal mining company,' said chief executive George Salamis. It is ready to make progress on the projects once the deals have been finalised, he added.

Caledon hopes to resume trading on London's Alternative Investment Market in December, he said.

Salamis gave the comment after the group swung to a profit before tax of 1.15 mln stg in the first half to June from a loss of 1.2 mln last time following the sale of its remaining stake in the El Dorado gold project.

Net profit reached 832,000 stg as against a loss of 1.2 mln previously. Caledon has yet to generate revenues.

I bought in about an hour before they got suspended. Hopefully it will prove a good investment as I have been hearing good things about the cook mine!! On t1ps they have a re-list price of around 10-15p and that 15p would not be over generous!!

georgetrio - 29 Sep 2006 10:28 - 19 of 59

Admission of the Ordinary Shares of the Company to AIM is expected to take place
at 8.00am on 14 December 2006, at which point the proposed Cook Acquisition,
Minyango Acquisition and MTP Acquisition will have completed subject to final
payment of funds. It is expected that CREST accounts will be credited, and the
Ordinary Shares of 0.5p each will be admitted to trading on AIM, on 14 December
2006.


As highlighted in the admission document published on 20 November 2006, the
Company has now agreed terms with Xstrata in relation to the Xstrata Loan Note.
The principal terms of the Xstrata Loan Note provide for a coupon of 9 per cent.
per annum and a right to convert the principal amount of the loan note of A$15
million into Ordinary Shares at a premium of 3 per cent. to the Placing Price.
The Xstrata Loan Note will become repayable on the first business day following
366 days from completion of the Cook Acquisition, to the extent it has not by
that time been converted by Xstrata. Each of Caledon Coal Pty Ltd and CC Pty Ltd
has provided security over its business and assets in favour of Xstrata in
respect of the Xstrata Loan Note pursuant to a second amendment deed to the Cook
Acquisition Agreement. Accordingly, the Company will pay A$25,600,000 to CRM in
cash and issue the Xstrata Loan Note in satisfaction of the consideration due
under the Cook Acquisition Agreement. In addition, Xstrata has been granted the
right to appoint a director to the board of directors of the Company until the
second anniversary of Admission. Caledon has also agreed that it will, one day
after the first anniversary of Admission, provide Xstrata with an unconditional
bank guarantee or documentary letter of credit for a maximum liability of A$10
million as security for the 'take or pay' rail and port commitments entered into
by Xstrata in connection with Cook Coal for the following year.


Terms and expressions used in this announcement shall, unless the context
otherwise requires, have the same meanings given to them in the Company's
admission document published on 20 November 2006.


Robert Alford, Caledon's Chairman, said: 'This is a milestone event for Caledon
and its shareholders, marking the passage of the Company from resource explorer
to resource producer, laying the foundation for the formation of a significant
mining company. The resoundingly positive voting turn-out, firmly in support of
the EGM resolutions, marks the culmination of 11 months of hard work conducted
on three continents. I would like to especially thank our executive management
for the long hours spent on these transactions and our shareholders for their
patience and support in this transformational event'.

About Caledon: Caledon is a London AIM listed (AIM:CDN) Company. The acquisition
of the Cook Mine and the Minyango coal project, both situated in the Bowen
Basin, Queensland Australia, transforms the business of the Caledon Group from
gold exploration to a coal producer. Caledon's Cook Mine is host to a minable
reserve of 17 Mt of coking and thermal coal. A 10 year mine plan has been
established by the Company with a projected coking and thermal coal production
rate of 900,000 tonnes of coal projected for 2007, increasing to 1.5 Mt per
annum in 2008 and closer to 2 Mt per annum in 2009. The neighbouring Minyango
project is host to over 200Mt of in-situ extractable coal. Caledon is conducting
exploration at Minyango with the goal of converting resources to reserves on the
project, with a view to potentially increasing Caledon's production in the
near-term.
