Substantial interests
So far as the Board is aware, at no time during the year, has anyone who is not a Director of the Company, held an interest comprising 3% or more of the issued capital of the Company with the exception of the following stockholders:

As at 18 April 2008 % Stock units Beneficial Non-beneficial
Mr. SB & Mrs. SW Kumaramangalam 15.00 1,617,213 1,065,562 548,767
Mr. WB & Mrs. P Fraser 18.03 1,943,411 7,515 1,935,896
JM Finn Nominees Limited 17.99 1,938,904 - 1,938,904
Mr. G & Mrs. CW Zegos 11.09 1,195,571 712,032 483,539

Mr. & Mrs. Kumaramangalam, Mr. & Mrs. Fraser, JM Finn Nominees Limited and Mr. & Mrs. Zegos are trustees of several family trusts. Therefore, their declared non-beneficial interest in the Stock units of El Oro and Exploration Company plc contains a degree of duplication.

Directors’ interests
The interests of the Directors who held office during the year in the Company's stock units of 5p each were as follows:

As at 27 November 2007 % Stock units Beneficial Non-beneficial
CRW Parish 23.30 2,511,107 911,614 1,599,493
The Hon. Mrs. EC Parish 3.08 331,463 331,463 -
EW Houston 15.36 1,655,326 1,091,023 564,303

RE Wade 0.63 67,712 67,712 -
JA Wild 0.23 25,000 25,000 -

As a result of Mr. Parish being a beneficiary and trustee of several family trusts, his interest in the non-beneficial stock units of the Company contains a degree of duplication with the substantial stockholders interests detailed above.

Shares not in public hands
Further to the disclosure above, 5,805,146 stock units, representing 53.87%, are not in public hands.
