Carnegie contracts Wallis Drilling for drill programme in Senegal


Carnegie Minerals (CME), the Mineral Sands resources company with production
interests in The Gambia and an exploration permit in adjoining Senegal, is
pleased to announce that it has contracted the Australian company Wallis
Drilling, to undertake a substantial drilling programme on its Senegalese
assets.


Highlights:


A minimum of 8,000 line metres of air core drilling in the Casamance
province of Senegal.


Drilling will test the numerous targets generated by the high resolution,
low level airborne geophysical survey flown over the entire Senegal licence
area in late 2006, which adjoin the Company's mineral sands production
assets in The Gambia.


Programme expected to commence in March 2007.


The airborne geophysical programme identified numerous linear and curvilinear
magnetic features interpreted by specialised data processing as well as some
correlating radiometric features. Such geophysical anomalies can be associated
with buried strandline and surface dune accumulations of heavy minerals that
include some magnetic as well as thorium/uranium containing minerals. This is
the first time such modern exploration techniques have been applied to this
area.


The drilling programme seeks extensions of the mineral sands deposit already
discovered in the northern portion of the licence area at Niafarang where infill
drilling was completed in December 2006. The Niafarang drilling samples have now
been received at independent Perth laboratories for assaying and CME expect the
Niafarang computer modelling and resource estimate to be available in April
2007.


Alan Hopkins, MD of Carnegie said:


'The results from the geophysical airborne survey were extremely encouraging and
we are very pleased to have signed up a drilling contractor on schedule.


'We are on track with the testing of these large mineral sands targets in
Senegal which lie to the south of our mining operations in The Gambia and within
a very short time we should be able to advise the market on the extent and
nature of this mineral sands province.'

First deposit explored in Southern Senegal substantially increases resource base
of the SeneGambia Mineral Sands Project



Carnegie Minerals Plc (CME), the mineral sands resource company with production
interests in The Gambia and advanced exploration in adjoining Senegal, is
pleased to announce that it has now completed its exploration programme over the
first mineral sands deposit (Niafarang) in Southern Senegal.



Highlights



Carnegie has completed exploration of the first mineral sands deposit
in Southern Senegal and obtained an independent resource statement



This resource substantially increases the entire resource base of the
company's SeneGambia mineral sand project and is classified in the Indicated
Category as defined by the JORC Code 2004



The first explored deposit features low slimes, no overburden and a
very high average grade of total heavy minerals including good zircon grades
.The overall mineral assemblage is similar to the deposits currently being mined
by Carnegie in adjoining Gambia



Carnegie has mobilised its exploration team in Africa and an air-core
drilling rig has been shipped to the port of Dakar to start test drilling of new
exploration targets in Southern Senegal later this month



The exploration programme has resulted in an additional resource totalling 4.8
million tonnes of sand at an average grade of 12.4% total heavy minerals (THM)
at a cut-off of 1% THM. As a percentage of the THM, the economic mineral content
is 13.7% zircon, 2.3% rutile, 75.2% ilmenite and 0.4% non-magnetic leucoxene.
(See attached independent resource statement for detail)



Wallis Drilling's air-core drilling rig has arrived in the port of Dakar and CME
has mobilised its exploration team in Africa to start test drilling of new
exploration targets generated by the high-resolution airborne magnetic and
radiometric survey carried out by the company in late 2006.



Alan Hopkins, Managing Director of Carnegie commented:



'We are very pleased with these results as the first deposit explored by the
Company in Southern Senegal substantially increases the resource base of the
whole SeneGambia project. Its very high grade, low slimes and zero overburden
combine with its close proximity to the southernmost deposit in The Gambia to
make it a valuable additional resource.



'With drilling scheduled later this month over the new exploration targets in
the Senegal licence area, we are rapidly moving to an understanding of the final
scale of the whole project'.

Substantial air-core drilling programme commenced on magnetic targets in
Southern Senegal

Carnegie Minerals Plc (CME), the mineral sands resource company with production
interests in The Gambia and advanced exploration in adjoining Senegal, is
pleased to announce that it has commenced a substantial air-core drilling
programme over its exploration licence in Southern Senegal.

Perth-based Wallis Drilling will drill a minimum of 8,000 line metres to test
linear geophysical targets interpreted as possible dune/strandline accumulations
of heavy minerals based on the high resolution airborne magnetic & radiometric
survey of the licence area in late 2007.

Three large priority areas have been identified for initial test drilling, which
is carried out at about 40 to 50 m drill hole spacing and 1.5 m sampling
interval predominantly along some existing roads crossing these linear
geophysical targets.

Subject to the results of this test drilling, Carnegie will plan any follow-up
exploration, which could include the delineation and in-fill drilling of
potential new mineralisation areas.

Carnegie would also like to update the market as to its Gambian operations where
it has three dredges fully operational and a fourth scheduled to come into
production next month. The project is already producing around 10,000 tonnes per
month of Heavy Mineral Concentrate for export to China under existing offtake
agreements.

Alan Hopkins, Managing Director of Carnegie commented:

'Following our announcement on 2 May of the independent resource statement for
our Niafarang deposit, we are very happy to be able to report the commencement
of the air core exploration drilling programme on the more southern areas of our
Senegal licence area.

'This marks another step in our plan, as set out at the time of our recent IPO,
to rapidly evaluate the entire project area while simultaneously bringing into
production our mineral sands assets in The Gambia. We look forward to updating
the market on further progress as soon as practicable.'

Ore Reserve Estimation

Estimation of the Niafarang ore reserve has been based on mining methods, mining
ore loss, mining dilution, mineral recovery factors, cost assumptions and
product revenue rates currently in use for Carnegie's existing mining operations
in The Gambia. Where necessary, costs have been modified to reflect the
increased trucking distance for HMC and variations in government royalty
payments.


It has been assumed mining will be undertaken using a number of small dredging
units with the heavy mineral concentrate being trucked to a Concentrate Upgrade
Plant located in The Gambia. Processed magnetic and non-magnetic concentrates
are then shipped to China via the port of Banjul.


The Probable Ore Reserve contained within the Indicated Mineral Resource for the
Niafarang deposit is 3.4 million tonnes of sand at an average grade of 16.0%
total heavy minerals. As a percentage of the total heavy minerals, the economic
mineral content is 75.4% ilmenite, 13.6% zircon, 2.3% rutile and 0.4%
non-magnetic leucoxene.



Probable Ore Reserve
Sand Grade Mineral Assemblage % of THM
(MT) (% THM)
Ilmenite Zircon Rutile Leucoxene
3.4 16.0 75.4 13.6 2.3 0.4


Ore reserve calculations qualify as 'Probable' as defined by the 2004 Edition of
the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources
and Ore Reserves' (The JORC Code 2004).

Substantial Drilling Programme Completed in Southern Senegal


Carnegie Minerals Plc (AIM - CME), the mineral sands resource company with
production interests in The Gambia and advanced exploration in adjoining
Senegal, is pleased to announce it has now completed a significant drilling
programme in its Southern Senegal licence area and is sending all sand samples
with visually noticeable heavy mineral grades for assaying at independent
laboratories in Australia.


Drilling - Southern Senegal


Carnegie's exploration team has successfully completed a two-month, 8,000 line
metre drilling programme in Southern Senegal, using Wallis Drilling's air-core
rig. Drilling was focused on testing linear magnetic and radiometric exploration
targets, identified by the high-resolution airborne survey carried out by the
Company in late 2006.


In the northern part of the Company's licence area, near the recently explored
Niafarang deposit, 502 holes were drilled to an average depth of 8 metres.
Additionally 168 holes were drilled at a high dune area near Cap Skiring in the
south to an average depth of 23 metres.


All drill holes were sampled at 1.5 metre intervals and all sand samples with
visually noticeable heavy mineral grades are being sent for assaying at
independent laboratories in Australia, after preliminary processing in Senegal.


Based on the assaying results, Carnegie will plan follow-up exploration in both
the northern and southern parts of the licence area, as well as drill testing
the eastern part that was not able to be drilled during this programme due to
the onset of the rainy season. Carnegie has already started negotiations on the
return of an air-core drilling rig to Southern Senegal for this work during the
coming dry season.


Carnegie Minerals Managing Director, Alan Hopkins, said:


'The completion of this phase of the exploration drilling programme in Southern
Senegal is another significant milestone for the Company. We are looking forward
to getting the laboratory results, as this area holds significant potential to
expand the scale of this cross border project.


'With our capability building in our production area at Sanyang South, and the
completion of the Southern Senegalese exploration drilling, Carnegie is now
poised to build a strong value platform for shareholders.'

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Gambian joint venture entity revenue of 417,522 with Group revenue of
55,750

Gambian Joint venture entity had a maiden profit of 95,856 with CME
Group loss of 420,507 for the six months

Closing cash balance was 771,009 as at 30 June 2007



Alan Hopkins Managing Director said:

'We have made good progress bringing the wet mining and primary processing
facilities into production in The Gambia. As each unit has been brought on
stream, production and revenues have increased incrementally. This is
establishing a solid financial platform for the repayment of the partner
provided project finance utilised in developing this project. With the
secondary processing plant coming on stream in April 2008, followed by the plan
to bring into production the additional reserves over the border in Senegal in
early 2009, we are on track for steadily increasing production, revenues and
cash flow. We value the support provided during this start up phase, and with
this ongoing support, we look to the future with confidence'.



CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT

On behalf of the Board we are pleased to provide this interim report for the
Company and its subsidiaries (together the 'Group'), for the six months ended 30
June 2007.

Financial Review

During this start up period to 30 June 2007, we recorded revenue of 77,933
comprising management fees, interest income and our 50% share of The Gambian
joint venture entity's profit. Our Gambian joint venture entity had turnover of
417,435 and a stockpile of 21,410 tonnes of heavy mineral concentrate ready for
sale as at 30 June 2007. Production, while modest for this initial period, is in
line with our forecasts for this stage of the Gambian project's development.

Overall, the Group recorded a loss after tax for the period of 420,507 through
this period of project start up. The Gambian joint venture entity had a profit
of 95,856 for the six month period. Cash at bank as at 30 June 2007 was
771,009.

The scale of the business has increased during the period as a result of the
positive exploration outcome from the Niafarang area of our license adjacent in
Senegal. This established additional resources enabling higher production
targets to be set for 2009 and onwards. The Group has invested heavily during
this start up year in both its support of its production capability in The
Gambia, and also the establishment of further resources in adjoining Senegal.

Operational Review

The period since 1 January 2007 has seen the development of the mining
activities in The Gambia in parallel with the undertaking of exploration
activities in adjoining Senegal.

Mine Development and Mining Activity in The Gambia

During the period, we have constructed and brought into production three
additional wet mining and primary processing units, established water bores for
three separate mining areas, upgraded roads to all sites, and recruited and
trained an additional 105 workers, bringing the total workforce to 150 in The
Gambia. A mine site office complex, including workshops, laboratories and stores
facilities was officially opened by the Gambian Vice President, Her Excellency
Isatou Njie Sadie, on 24 July 2007 and the ongoing excellent relationship with
The Gambian authorities is of great assistance to the project.

While production is on schedule, the processing of the primary combined
concentrates into magnetically separated product is now scheduled for completion
by April 2008. Prior to this fully processed product being available for sale,
we have entered into an interim arrangement with our off take partner to buy the
combined primary concentrate. This generates earlier revenues but the pricing
achieved during this interim stage will be necessarily lower than will apply to
final product. Overall, the Group's target for the year ended 31 December 2007
is to produce 15,000 tonnes of secondary non magnetic (i.e. zircon / rutile)
concentrate. This equates to 77,000 tonnes of primary combined concentrate which
we are on target to achieve.

Exploration

During the period, the Group completed the evaluation of the earlier drilling at
the Niafarang deposit in Senegal (just south of the Gambian border) and obtained
JORC-compliant independent estimates for a resource and mining reserve statement
for this deposit. It is planned for an environmental impact study to be
commissioned and to convert this exploration area to a mining title so that
mining can commence early in 2009.

In addition to the evaluation of the Niafarang deposit, the Group completed 8000
meters of exploration drilling over some priority targets identified by the
airborne geophysical survey undertaken in October 2006. The results of this
drilling will be released to the market as soon as they are available. Any
positive intersections are planned to be followed up by drilling early in 2008
when the rig is remobilised to complete the drilling of additional priority
exploration targets that have yet to be tested.

Outlook

We have made very good progress with the construction and bringing into
production the wet mining and primary processing facilities in The Gambia. As
each unit has been brought on stream, production and revenues have increased
incrementally. This is establishing a solid financial platform for the timely
repayment of partner provided project finance utilised in the development of The
Gambian project. With the secondary processing plant coming on stream early next
year, followed by the plan to bring into production the additional reserves over
the border in Senegal in early 2009, we are on track for steadily increasing
production, revenues and cash flow. We have also been offered other
opportunities for further expansion, which are currently being evaluated. We
value the support provided during this start up phase, and with this ongoing
support, we look to the future with confidence.

Carnegie Minerals Plc (AIM - CME), the mineral sands resource company with
production interests in The Gambia and advanced exploration in adjoining
Senegal, is pleased to announce that it has received results from heavy mineral
(HM) drilling analysis of 718 drill samples from 3 drilling lines (1, 2 and 8).
These lines represent 1,311 line metres of drilling or 34% of the southern area
of the licence and 16% of the total 8,000 line metres of drilling undertaken
over both the southern and northern areas.



Highlights



* Exploration drilling intersects mineralised zone in previously untested
area


* Mineralised intersections thicker than previously encountered in the
project area


* 84% of drilling results still to be processed


The results received to date revealed a mineralised zone that was intersected
over a distance of 330 m by Line 1 across one of the high dune areas that
stretches parallel to the coast for about 2.3 km. The mineralised zone was
intersected by 10 holes from the surface to an average depth of 12.5 m and the
individual air-core drill holes sampled at 1.5 metre intervals showed a weighted
average grade from 2.1% to 4.7% total heavy minerals (average 3.4% HM) with the
average slime content varying from 5 to 20 % (average 14%).


In the central part of this zone its thickness was 18 m at a weighted average
grade of 3.5% HM (including surface 4.5 m interval at 8% HM). The intersected
mineralised zone coincides with an airborne radiometric anomaly as well as an
extensive linear magnetic feature extending parallel to the coast. The edge of
this zone was also intersected from the surface to the depth of 12 m by two
drill holes at Line 2 where the weighted average HM grade was about 2.5%. Some
surface HM accumulations have also been intersected by Line 8 in a low dune area
(up to 3 m thick at 5.1% HM).


Alan Hopkins, Managing Director of Carnegie Minerals plc, said:

'The heavy mineral intersections in this previously untested southern part of
the tenement are encouraging and we look forward to receiving the results for
the remaining drilling samples.

'This latest set of test results provide further evidence of the prospectivity
of the southern Senegal region, following the successful exploration of the
Niafarang area, at which production is planned for early 2009.'
