                           Drilling Update

                            10 July 2007

Highlights

- - 12,500 metres of drilling has now been completed at Komana West
- - Main mineralised zone confirmed at shallow depths
- - In KWRC089, the last 9 metres of the hole show a grade of 2.58
grams/tonne
- - Mineral resource estimation underway

Glencar Mining  plc ("Glencar"  or "the  Company"), the  AIM and  IEX
listed company with gold exploration interests in Africa, is  pleased
to report on additional drilling results from its Komana West project
in southern Mali.   The assay results referred  to in this  statement
relate to the final seven boreholes completed at Komana West prior to
the onset  of rains  in early  June and  the suspension  of  drilling
activities there.

12,500 metres  of drilling  has now  been completed  at Komana  West,
9,886 metres of it reverse  circulation drilling and 2,614 metres  of
diamond drilling.

The boreholes reported here were designed to cut the northern portion
of the main mineralised zone at  shallow depths where the deposit  is
being exploited by artisanal miners.  Two of the drillholes,  KWRC089
and KWRC093 encountered voids, probably representing areas where  the
artisanal miners had excavated gold bearing material.

The main mineralised  intersections and the  associated voids in  the
drill returns are given in the table below.

It is interesting to note that in  KWRC089, the last 9 metres of  the
hole show a grade  of 2.58 grams/tonne in  an intensely altered  zone
with associated porphyry intrusive material.   This hole was  drilled
to a final depth of  126 metres to test  for a possible extension  to
the mineralised  zone.    Further testing  of  this  potentially  new
mineralised zone will be carried out during the next drilling season.

Holes   KWRC094   and   KWRC058   did   not   encounter   significant
mineralization.  Due to the breakdown of the drill at the end of  the
programme, one of the planned  holes, KWRC091 could not be  completed
beyond 6 metres depth.

SRK Consultants have recently visited the site at Komana West in  the
course of their resource study  on the currently drilled  mineralised
zone.  The  results of  this study are  expected to  be available  by
September next.

Commenting on the  latest results, Glencar's  Managing Director,  Mr.
Hugh McCullough said,

"We drilled  these seven  holes  at this  time to  provide  important
geological data for resource estimation  purposes.  This area is  one
of intense artisanal  activity which inevitably  leads to  incomplete
sample return when drilling  at shallow depths.    We are  confident,
however, that the voids represent areas of relatively high grade gold
mineralization and consequently  we believe that  these latest  holes
confirm the presence, at shallow depths, of the main mineralised zone
which has been intersected in the deeper holes at these locations."

A drillplan showing  the drillholes  described above  will be  posted
shortly on the Company's website at www.glencarmining.ie
