AMZ Azucar Minerals Ltd

Amazon Mining Holding Plc (TSX VENTURE: AMZ) ("Amazon" or the "Company") announced today its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 and provides the following corporate update.

During, the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 there was net income of Pounds Sterling 234,974 compared to a gain of Pounds Sterling 163,841 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008. The gain was primarily due to the currency exchange gains (Pounds Sterling 436,449), as the company holds the majority of its cash in Canadian dollars which outperformed the British pound, the reporting currency, during the period. Amazon currently has a working capital position of approximately Pounds Sterling 4.2MM (Cdn$7.4MM).

Subsequent Period Summary

--     Amazon has commenced drilling at the Cerrado Verde project to
    delineate an initial NI-43-101 resource on the property. While the
    surface dimensions of the deposit are easily estimated by outcrop, and
    grade can be estimated from grab samples, this will be the first
    confirmation of thickness and first test of potassium grade at depth.
--     Amazon has entered into an agreement with Phoster Tecnologia de
    Aglomeracoes ("Phoster"), to refine a process for the commercial
    manufacture of ThermoPotash Fertilizer. The team at Phoster was
    responsible for development work on thermo-phosphate, a widely used
    premium fertilizer made from non-soluble phosphate rocks in Brazil. In
    addition, Phoster brings a great deal of experience working with the
    potash rich rocks from Cerrado Verde.
--     Amazon has retained the services of Coffey Mining to begin a
    NI-43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment. Coffey Mining has 50 years of
    experience in supplying specialist services to the international mining
    industry. This will provide an independently verified look at the
    feasibility of Amazon's proposed ThermoPotash operations.

Commenting President & CEO, Cristiano Veloso, said, "The coming months will mark a significant acceleration in the development of our Cerrado Verde project. Amazon will seek to identify in detail the major challenges and risks involved in a project of this nature. This also marks a shift from the Company's cost saving mode of the past 18 months to a more focused use of its finances. Our past cost saving efforts have put us in an enviable position; We have funds on hand to complete much of the Cerrado Verde development work required to determine its potential economic value."
