Ascot Mining, the PLUS-quoted and Xetra® listed Costa Rican Gold miner, is pleased to announce the appointment of Libertas Capital Corporate Finance Limited in preparation for the Company’s Introduction to the Alternative Investment Market (‘AIM’) in the first Quarter of 2011.

David Jackson, CEO of Ascot commented:

"Over the next few months, Ascot will be implementing its plans to further expand its gold production in Costa Rica.
