ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

The Directors of A1 Minerals Limited (A1) are pleased to advise that the Gold Plant Purchase Agreement has been settled.

On 17[th] July A1 announced that it had agreed terms for the purchase a gold processing plant and that included in the purchase agreement is a refurbishment, relocation and reconstruction contract. The cost-estimation of this project is underway.

Consideration for the acquisition was $250,000 cash, 7,500,000 ordinary shares and 5,000,000 options to acquire ordinary shares in the Company.

The equipment purchased includes a gold processing plant with the crushing, milling and tankage for a 300ktpa processing capability. The gold processing plant is completely decommissioned and disassembled near Kalgoorlie, located 400km by highway from Laverton, which will reduce costs and simplify refurbishment and relocation.

Approval for the issue of shares and options was obtained from shareholders at a General Meeting of the company held on 28[th] August 2008.

Mr William Hobba has been engaged as Construction Manager for the duration of the relocation, refurbishment and construction phase.

An Appendix 3B is attached which sets out the details of the shares and options issued.

Yours sincerely,
