Serabi Gold plc (AIM: SRB) (TSX: SBI) (TSX: SBI.WT),

the Brazilian focused gold exploration and development company, is pleased to announce the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (the "PEA") for its 100%-owned Palito Gold Project ("Palito" or "the Project"), located in Para State, Brazil.

The PEA indicates a project after tax internal rate of return of 68% and has been based only on the previously declared mineral resource estimates for the Palito gold mine and does not consider any additional resources that could be developed from the three discovery areas established in 2011 of Palito South, Currutela and Piaui. The directors believe that the PEA results support a small scale, high grade operation using selective mining techniques and the Board intends, subject to financing, to undertake the necessary mine development and remedial works as soon as possible with the intention of the first gold being produced in the third quarter to 2013.

Highlights of the Palito PEA are as follows:

  • After-tax Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 68% at a realised gold price of US$1,400 per ounce;
  • Project payback within two years of first gold production;
  • Net after-tax cash flow generated over project life of US$72.2 million at a realized gold price of US$1,400 per ounce;
  • After-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of US$38.2 million; based on a 10% discount rate and a realised gold price of US$1,400 per ounce;
  • Average Life of Mine ("LOM") cash operating costs of US$739 per ounce (gold equivalent) including royalties and refining costs;
  • Average annual free cash flow (after tax and sustaining capital expenditure) of US$11.0 million;
