On behalf of:        Target Resources plc 

Target Resources plc ('Target' or the 'Company')

NOTIFICATION OF DIRECTOR'S INTERESTS

Following recent FSA clarification related to disclosure obligations in respect of the grant of security over shares by a director, the Company received notification today that on 2 October 2007 Dr Nissim Levy pledged 13,493,233 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ('Shares'), representing approximately 11.1% of the Company's issued Shares and comprising the majority of his shareholding of 13,698,233 Shares in the Company, as security for a banking facility with Israel Discount Bank.

Following discussions with the Company, both Dr Levy and the Company believed that the security arrangement did not itself constitute a transaction for which disclosure was required under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules. However, given the FSA's recent clarification of its view of the obligations to disclose security granted over shares, Dr Levy has formally notified the Company of this grant of security and the Company hereby gives notice of the grant of the security over the shares described above.
