GMA Resources - New Non Executive Director Appointed.

NEW NON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR APPOINTED

The Board of GMA Resources Plc today announces the appointment of Mr Francois Gauthier as non-executive director.

Francois Jean Gauthier, aged 52, a Professional Geologist registered in Calgary, Alberta, graduated from McGill University, Montreal in 1977. Until his recent retirement he held the position of Vice President, Business Development and Resident General Manager for Anadarko Algeria Company ("Anadarko") in Algiers, Algeria. He has resided or worked in Algeria for approximately 17 years. Mr. Gauthier began his career as a geologist in Calgary, Canada with Anadarko in 1982, where the scope of his responsibility included managing contract negotiations, basin analysis, business intelligence and International Business Development.

Anadarko is a global, major oil producing company and production from Algerian discoveries - about 450,000 barrels of oil per day (gross) - makes Anadarko one of the biggest foreign oil producers in the country. The strength of the relationship forged in Algeria between Anadarko and Algeria's national oil company, Sonatrach, over the last two decades has helped create world-class facilities in a remote and challenging desert environment.

Douglas Perkins, CEO of GMA, commented; "We are very pleased to announce the addition of Mr Francois Gauthier to the Board of GMA. His wealth of experience in Algeria and his strong business development background will clearly add to the progress of the Company, both in Algeria and elsewhere."

There is no information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Schedule 2 paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules.
