Directorate Change


African Eagle announces that, by mutual consent, Trevor Moss will step down both as Chief Executive
Officer and from the board of the Company (the “Board”) and will leave the Company, effective 28
June 2013. The Board does not intend to seek a permanent replacement Chief Executive Officer at this
time.

Trevor’s departure follows recent announcements by the Company that it has suspended all activity
on the Dutwa project, funding of its Tanzanian subsidiaries, and has taken action to minimise
operational costs going forward. The Company is currently seeking a purchaser for all or part of its
Tanzanian assets.

As a result of Trevor’s departure, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Robert
McLearon to the Board as interim Managing Director.

Robert Jonathan McLearon, aged 36, currently serves as Group Financial Controller of African Eagle
and last year served as an interim director on the Board. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. McLearon
held positions as Financial Controller and Company Secretary at E uropean Nickel plc and Corporate
Controller at Baltic Oil Terminals plc.

The Chairman of African Eagle, Dr. Christopher Pointon, commented:

“The Board wish to express their appreciation for the enormous contribution Trevor has made to the
definition of the Dutwa project, improving its potential financial and technical performance and the
leadership demonstrated in the management of the Company as it has dealt with challenging issues.
His fellow Directors share his disappointment that the Company has not been able to raise funds to
complete the Dutwa Bankable Feasibility Study, and wish him every success in his future endeavours .
The Board is also pleased to welcome Robert back to the Board in his new role as interim Managing
Director”

Save as set out above, there are no details in relation to the appointment which need to be disclosed
under paragraph (g) of Schedule 2 of the AIM Rules.
