                   South China Resources plc ("the Company")

                     Board Appointment - Executive Director

                               Dr David Tyrwhitt


South China Resources plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr David
Tyrwhitt to the Board as Executive Director.


Dr. Tyrwhitt has had a long and highly distinguished career in the global mining
industry spanning over 40 years.


Dr. Tyrwhitt was the founding CEO of Newmont Australia and was responsible for
the inception and expansion of production at the Telfer gold mine from 500,000
tonnes per annum to 2 million tonnes per annum. Prior to this he held several
senior positions within Newmont worldwide, including Director of Exploration
Australia, Exploration Manager Eastern USA and Exploration Manager South East
Asia.


After leaving Newmont in 1988, Dr Tyrwhitt became CEO of Ashton Mining,
Australia's largest diamond company prior to its eventual takeover by Rio Tinto.


He then headed up a joint venture of Normandy Mining Australia and Anglo
American exploring in South East Asia, with a focus on Indonesia and Laos.


Since then Dr. Tyrwhitt has been actively consulting in the Asia Pacific region
with particular emphasis on China. He has worked closely with Robert Friedland
in China, including evaluating copper porphyry deposits in Tibet, and has also
worked with several Australian groups elsewhere in the country.


Alastair Clayton, Executive Chairman commented, "We are delighted to have a
person with this depth and breadth of experience in China and particularly Tibet
joining our Board. David has spent the last 5 years in Tibet seeking out
opportunities for global scale mining projects in the province and will be a
major asset to the Company going forward. We intend to make further Board
appointments as and when they are deemed necessary."
