Change of name from Silvermines Media PLC to Cambrian Oil & Gas Plc

Silvermines Media PLC (AIM: SLV), to be re-named Cambrian Oil & Gas Plc (AIM:
COIL), a company admitted to trading on AIM on 15 July 2004 to seek acquisition
and investment opportunities, is pleased to announce its first day of dealings
on AIM today following its acquisition of Zhibek Resources Plc ('Zhibek').

The Company announced on 4 February 2005 that it had conditionally agreed to
acquire the entire issued share capital of Zhibek (including all outstanding
convertible securities) in consideration for the issue of 40,000,000
Consideration Shares and 13,333,333 Warrants. As of 26 January 2005 (being the
date on which Ordinary Shares were suspended from trading on AIM) the closing
mid-market price of an Ordinary Share was 7.5p, valuing Zhibek at approximately
3 million and Silvermines at approximately 1.7 million.

The Company has also raised 1.95 million, net of expenses, by way of a Placing
of 45,000,000 Placing Shares, undertaken in order to provide working capital for
the Enlarged Group.

Dealings in the Enlarged Share Capital consisting of 23,115,000 existing
Ordinary Shares, 45,000,000 Placing Shares and 40,000,000 Consideration Shares
commence on AIM today.

Commenting on the successful completion of the Acquisition and Placing, John
Byrne, the Company's Non-Executive Chairman, said:

'The formation of COIL now enables Zhibek to develop its strategy of oil and gas
exploration, development and production, both internationally and particularly
in the Kyrgyz Republic. It is a very exciting time for us as we continue the
development of the initial two projects - Beshkent Togap and Tash Kumyr - and
look forward to reporting our progress in the near future.'

Full details of the Proposals were set out in the Admission Document to
shareholders dated 4 February 2005. The definitions in the Admission Document

This is interesting, only COIL owns that amount of options, 42m in total, we also know that COIL cannot take up all their options in MEO, 10m looks suspiciously like the balance. If it is indeed COIL then who is the 3rd party that has gratefully received them, cannot be a related party, maybe a major????

COIL has now ceased to be, merged with XTR on a 9 for 10 basis, perhaps some kind technical soul can set up a thread, as there may be some interesting times ahead for this company.

Rodders, if you list all the assets and values here I will do the thread for you. To see if you like the style of my headers have a look at TOM Tomco, HAWK Nighthawk Energy. You can always have a go yourself like I did on those two. After all you were the most frequent poster on this thread lately, and have more than enough knowledge about COIL, and XTR to start the ball rolling. Good luck, and let me know what you want to do.

oilyrag - thanks will have a think over the next couple of days.
