Amazon Mining Holding Plc (TSX VENTURE:AMZ) ("Amazon" or the "Company"), is
pleased to report the completion of resource confirmation drill holes in the
Funchal Norte target at the Cerrado Verde project. In total 1,000 metres in 19
vertical holes were drilled to evaluate potash grades. The drilling program
confirmed a zone with higher potash sample grades between 10 to 13% K2O for an
area of approximately 3,000m by 350m.


Drilling has increased the understanding of the geology at the Cerrado Verde
project, allowing the Company henceforth to focus exploration and resource
calculation on higher grade zones. The mineralization was classified into two
distinct parallel zones.




--  Massive Glauconite Zone: 10% to 13% K2O. Dark green in colour, with rare
    argillite intercalations. This zone will be the focus of resource
    calculation and economic analysis.
--  Transition Zone: 5% to 9% K2O. Light green in colour, with more abundant
    argillite intercalations.



Samples from reverse circulation drilling were analyzed using x-ray fluorescence
(XRF), measuring concentrations of 13 compounds present in the glauconite. K2O
values are reported below. See attached detailed drilling map and regional claim
map.

(i)Previously Reported



The drilling program revealed that the Massive Glauconite Zone extends 3,000m
north-south and 350m east-west. Surface mapping, sampling and chemical analysis
indicate that these rocks have a regular concentration of glauconite, varying
from 10 to 13% K2O, and that potassium is evenly distributed both in surface and
subsurface samples.

The Transition Zone extends 3,000m north-south and 600m east-west, this zone is
not of immediate interest to Amazon.


The Funchal Norte target is one verdete outcrop in a group of outcrops called
Funchal. The Funchal targets have good potential to expand mineralization over
an area of 1,100 ha of outcrop, of which Funchal Norte target represents only
170 ha.


Commenting on the results, President & CEO Cristiano Veloso said, "Amazon hopes
to use the results from the Massive Glauconite Zone to define a 43-101 inferred
resource. The resource will be the basis for our preliminary economic
assessment, both to be completed with the help of Coffey Mining. New
understanding of lithological structural controls has helped us to define this
higher grade zone, which further improves our initial expectations for average
grade."

Geological Information

Verdete is a metasedimentary, areno-pelitic rock of Neoproterozoic age (600 to
700Ma), which is part of the Bambui Group in Serra da Saudade. The basement for
the verdete is composed of dark-to light gray mudstone, sometimes with layers of
reddish argillite.


Discordantly superimposed on these rocks occur Cretaceous sandstones, known as
Areado Group. These rocks outcrop in the central part of verdete body,
sustaining a topographic height. The sandstone is less than 12m thick, soft and
friable. Its outcrop area is of about 20% of the total target area.


Structurally, this lithologic package, except for the coverage sandstone, is
folded in anticlines and synclines, with approximately north-south axial planes
and with fold axes plunging gently towards the north or towards the south.


The geological mapping has allowed us to define a litho-structural control for
the verdete and massive glauconite, which occupies a synclinal fold hinge,
trending N10E, with the fold axis dipping 10 to 20 degrees towards the
southwest. The Massive Glauconite Zone generally outcrops in the uppermost
terraced hills, with altitudes varying from 860 to 940m, and can be followed for
approximately 80km inside Amazon's property.


Sampling and Analysis Protocol

Assay results presented in this news release are from samples (chips and
fragments) collected from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling. RC samples were
taken at intervals over one metre (Holes CV-RC-01 to CV-RC-05) and over two
metres (Holes CV-RC-06 to 18) throughout the zone of potassium-rich rock
("verdete"). The samples were homogenized, mixed and quartered to give primary
samples of 1 to 3 kg. Samples were then prepared and analyzed at the independent
ISO-Certified Bureau Veritas Laboratory, located near Belo Horizonte, Brazil
using industry standard XRF (SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, TiO2, MnO, CaO, Na2O, K2O,
P2O5, Cr2O3, SrO and BaO). Additionally, 20% of the samples were submitted to
multi- element analysis (31 elements) by ICP-OES. Pulp blanks, duplicates, and
known standards were inserted on a routine basis. In total they consist of 10.5
% of submitted samples.

The potential grades detailed in this release are conceptual in nature. There
has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is
uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as
a mineral resource.
