The Company has today applied to the Registrar of Companies in the Isle of Man to change its name to 3D Resources plc. The change of name certificate is expected to be received shortly from the Registrar of Companies in the Isle of Man. A further announcement will be made by the Company with regards to the timing for the Company's change of name and the change of the Company's ticker from "3DD" to "3DR" becoming effective. At the same time the Company intends to change its website address to www.3dresources.co.uk. The ISIN and SEDOL numbers of the Company will not change.

As a result of the Disposal the Company has become an investing company, and in accordance with Rule 15 of the AIM Rules, the Company must implement its new Investing Policy within 12 months of Completion; otherwise trading in the Company's shares on AIM will be suspended in accordance with AIM Rule 40. If, following such a suspension the shares have not been re-admitted to trading on AIM within a further six months, the admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled.

The Enlarged Share Capital of the Company following Admission will be 620,974,824 ordinary shares of 0.1 penny each in the Company. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Definitions in this announcement are consistent with those set out in the Circular issued to Shareholders of the Company and dated 5 October 2012, a copy of which is available on the investor section of the Company's current website (www.3ddiagnosticimaging.com).

The Company's newly adopted Investing Policy

The Directors intend initially to seek to acquire a direct and/or an indirect interest in projects and assets in the oil and gas sector, however they will consider opportunities in the wider natural resources sector as well as opportunities that may arise in other sectors. The Company will focus on opportunities in Europe, Africa and the Middle East but will consider possible opportunities anywhere in the world.

The Company may invest by way of purchasing quoted shares in appropriate companies, outright acquisition or by the acquisition of assets, including the intellectual property, of a relevant business, or by entering into partnerships or joint venture arrangements. Such investments may result in the Company acquiring the whole or part of a company or project (which in the case of an investment in a company may be private or listed on a stock exchange, and which may be pre-revenue), and such investments may constitute a minority stake in the company or project in question. The Company will not have a separate investment manager.

The Company may be both an active and a passive investor depending on the nature of the individual investments. Although the Company intends to be a medium to long-term investor, the Directors will place no minimum or maximum limit on the length of time that any investment may be held and therefore shorter term disposal of any investments cannot be ruled out.

There will be no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, and the Company's financial resources may be invested in a number of propositions or in just one investment, which may be deemed to be a reverse takeover pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. The Company will carry out an appropriate due diligence exercise on all potential investments and, where appropriate, with professional advisers assisting as required. The Board's principal focus will be on achieving capital growth for Shareholders.

Investments may be in all types of assets and there will be no investment restrictions.

The Company will require additional funding as investments are made and new opportunities arise. The Directors may offer new Ordinary Shares by way of consideration as well as cash, thereby helping to preserve the Company's cash resources for working capital. The Company may in appropriate circumstances, issue debt securities or otherwise borrow money to complete an investment. The Directors do not intend to acquire any cross-holdings in other corporate entities that have an interest in the Ordinary Shares.
