AMZ Azucar Minerals Ltd

Amazon Mining Holding Plc (TSX VENTURE: AMZ) ("Amazon" or the "Company") reported its unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and provides the following corporate update.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, Amazon incurred a net loss of $539,180 compared to a net profit of $330,505 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The increased loss in the third quarter of 2010 was primarily due to reduced exchange rate gains and increased consultancy expenses. Amazon currently has a working capital position of approximately $4.5MM. The Company maintains a strong cash position and continues to progress with Cerrado Verde.

Subsequent Events

--  Management Additions: Pedro Ladeira, Vice President Engineering and
    Eduardo Spolidorio, Marketing Manager, have joined the company to add
    plant construction and agronomic marketing skills to the management
    team, as Cerrado Verde is advancing towards feasibility study stage (see
    release dated October 13, 2010).
--  Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"): Amazon reported a summary of
    PEA, prepared by SRK Consulting and ECM Projetos Industrias. Two
    scenarios were examined, a 1.1MM tpa operation and a 2.2MM tpa, both
    showed very low capital cost as expected and robust economics boasting
    internal rates of return of 32.9% and 40.2% respectively (see release
    dated October 28, 2010).
--  Apatita Phosphate Project: Reported promising drilling results on 2 of 3
    prospects in the first round of drilling on the new project. The Company
    plans to drill 5 additional prospects and seek to establish 43-101
    compliant resource estimates on the two prospects that have already
    shown promising results (see release dated November 22, 2010).
--  University of Cambridge Technology Development: University of Cambridge,
    United Kingdom led by Professor Dr. Derek Fray continues to evaluate new
    routes capable of producing Muriate of Potash (KCl) and Sulphate of
    Potash (SOP) from Cerrado Verde's potash rock. The Company will provide
    a comprehensive update when further progress is achieved and considered
    to be material.

Cristiano Veloso, President and CEO, said: "Amazon continues to focus on its exciting Potash project. At the same time, we congratulate our team on the excellent results achieved at the Apatita Phosphate project which represents another significant potential source of shareholder value".
