TW0-WEEK EXTENSION TO TRANS-SIBERIAN GOLD SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

On 23 December 2004, AngloGold Ashanti Limited (“AGA”) announced that the deadline for the
second subscription for new ordinary shares in Trans-Siberian Gold plc (“TSG”) had been extended to
15 April 2005 and that the second subscription would no longer be conditional on TSG entering a
binding agreement to implement project financing for the Asacha gold mine development in
Kamchatka, far east Russia. Instead, TSG and AGA agreed that the second subscription would be
conditional on a revised implementation plan and financing plan for the Asacha project being
unanimously agreed by the TSG Board and any regulatory filings in the Russian Federation necessary
for the revised implementation plan having been made.
Whilst good progress has been made in satisfying the conditions to the second subscription, certain
issues remain outstanding and in order to allow for their resolution the deadline for the second
subscription has been extended until 29 April 2005.
