Bisichi Mining PLC                               

    Adoption of Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 101 - Reduced Disclosure    
                                   Framework                                   

                                                                                                                       
                                                                3 December 2015

Following the publishing of a suite of new financial reporting standards by
Financial Reporting Council (FRC), Bisichi Mining PLC is required to change its
accounting framework for its entity financial statements, which is currently UK
GAAP, for periods commencing on or after 1 January 2015.

Under this new framework, the group will continue to prepare consolidated
financial statements under EU-adopted International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).

However, the directors have elected to present the financial statements of the
parent company under FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework (FRS 101) - the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland with
Reduced Disclosures for the year ending 31 December 2015 and thereafter until
further noitce.

FRS 101 permits the financial statements of an entity to be prepared under a
reduced disclosure framework if the company meets the definition of a
qualifying entity. A qualifying entity is defined as 'a member of a group where
the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial
statements which are intended to give a true and fair view (of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit or loss) and that member is included
in the consolidation'.

The directors have considered the criteria required to apply the reduced
disclosure framework and have satisfied themselves that the parent company is
eligible to adopt the reduced disclosure framework, providing shareholders with
5% or more of the shares in issue do not object.

It should be noted that the reduced disclosures apply only to the individual
accounts of the parent company, Bisichi Mining PLC. The consolidated accounts
for the Group will continue to be prepared under full IFRS. If reduced
disclosures are applied, this would reduce the burden and cost of Bisichi
Mining PLC's statutory reporting obligations without adversely impacting on the
presentation of the Group financial statements, and the directors consider this
to be in the best interests of the company.

A shareholder in Bisichi Mining PLC may serve objections to the use of the
disclosure exemptions on Bisichi Mining PLC, in writing, to Garrett Casey, the
Company's Finance Director at its registered office (24 Bruton Place, London,
W1J 6NE) not later than 3 January 2015.

Garrett Casey,                                                020 7415 5030
Finance Director
