Minmet plc ("Minmet" or the "Company")

Offer Talks Terminated

Minmet, the AIM quoted resources group was notified on 29th August 2008 that NRG
Holdings International Limited ("NRG Holdings") was interested in making an
offer for the entire issued share capital of the Company at 10 pence per share,
subject to due diligence. Minmet has now received notification from NRG Holdings
that although it has concluded its due diligence on the Company, it will not be
proceeding with a formal offer for the Company.

NRG Holdings has, however, notified the Company that it will endeavour to build
a significant minority equity position in Minmet and that it wishes to explore
ways of working with the Company's board to accrete value for all shareholders.
NRG Holdings also stated that it has been impressed with the level of progress
to date by the new board and as such is excited about working with the Company,
especially with regard to the Alaska Assets.

Mike Neville Chairman commented:

"Both John Liwosz and I would have supported a bid at 10 pence per share, and we
are disappointed that at this time NRG Holdings is not proceeding. However we
are encouraged that it wishes to help us build shareholder value in the coming
weeks by providing assistance as we seek to monetise some of our assets".

Michael Shore, Managing Director of NRG Holdings said:

"We have been most impressed with the work the new board at Minmet has done in a
relatively short time frame. We trust their judgement, and are still interested
in building a long term relationship with the Company, where value can be built
for all parties."
