Kropfmühl, Germany, October 19, 2012 --- On October 17th 2012 the
commercial register of the local court Munich filed the note regarding the
resolution of the annual general meeting of Graphit Kropfmühl
Aktiengesellschaft from August 27th 2012 to transfer the shares of the
minority shareholders of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft in connection
with a merger of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft into AMG Mining AG in
return for adequate cash compensation in the amount of EUR 31,92 per share
and the merger of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft into AMG Mining AG
in the commercial register of the company.

ceased to exist. Name and trademark are retained via the wholly owned
subsidiary GK Graphit Kropfmühl GmbH. The resolution of the annual general
meeting from August 27th 2012 regarding the transfer of the shares held by
the minority shareholders to the majority shareholder in return for a cash
compensation in the amount of EUR 31,92 per share in accordance with § 62
subsection 5 of the German Transformation Act (Umwandlungsgesetz) in
connection with § 327a et seq. of the German Stock Companies Act
(Aktiengesetz) came into effect simultaneously with this registration in

to the major shareholder at the same time.

The trading in shares of Graphit Kropfmühl Aktiengesellschaft will be
suspended shortly. Stock exchange dealings taking place in the meantime are
