The Offer remains as a "1 for 4" entitlement for all Shareholders as per the Company's announcement of 31 August 2012.

The Company notes that, in substance, this does
not affect the entitlement offered to Shareholders.

Eligible Shareholders may subscribe for Shares in either Australian dollars or Canadian dollars.
All other terms of the Offer as announced on 31 August 2012 remain the same. The revised terms of the Offer will be set out in a rights offer document to be mailed by TriAusMin to its shareholders shortly.
