Winner of IR Magazine's "Best investor relations by an AIM company" 2008 Award

In June 2008 the Company was delighted to have been selected as the winner of the "Best investor relations by an AIM company 2008" award, presented by comedian David Mitchell at a dinner in London hosted by IR Magazine.

The Annual IR Magazine Awards recognise companies that demonstrate outstanding performance in key areas of Investor Relations ("IR") communications, including direct meetings with investors, approach to sustainability and how it is reported on, excellence of senior management communications, use of technology and general approach to communicating with shareholders.

Commenting on the Award, Chairman Peter Hambro stated that: "We have always regarded it as vital to communicate clearly and effectively with our shareholders. This has been true ever since Peter Hambro Mining was listed on AIM in 2002. I would like to use the occasion of this award as an opportunity to thank Alya Samokhvalova, our Director of External Communications, and her team for keeping our investor communications best-in-class and for their commitment and hard work. Can I also thank all other the members of the PHM team, working throughout our business, who as well as producing gold have also helped the IR team keep our investors so well informed about our business."

The other nominees for the "Best investor relations by an AIM company 2008" award were ASOS, the online clothes retailer, Domino's Pizza UK & Ireland and Spice, a provider of utility support services.
