LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - April 18, 2011) - African Copper plc ("African Copper" or "the Company") (AIM:ACU)(BOTSWANA:AFRICAN COPPER) corrects a statement made in its announcement of 9 February 2011 (under the heading "Additional ZCI Loan, Debt for Equity Swap") following an error in the calculation in respect of the numbers of shares issued to ZCI Limited ("ZCI") following the debt for equity swap to exchange USD9.5 million in outstanding debt for new ordinary shares of the Company.

The correct number of shares issued to ZCI is 105,369,488 and not 169,318,230. ZCI's resulting aggregate holding of ordinary shares in ACU following the debt conversion to shares is 781,939,988 representing approximately 84.19% of the total number of shares in issue and not 85.21% as stated in the 9 February 2011 announcement.

Following this correction the number of African Copper ordinary shares in issue is 928,798,988.

Notes to Editors:

African Copper Plc is an AIM-listed copper producer and exploration company, currently focused on Botswana. The Company's flagship project is the copper producing open pit Mowana Mine.

Both deposits are situated on the highly prospective Matsitama belt, located close to Botswana's second largest city, Francistown, in the north-eastern part of the country.
