The Company also today announced that on April 3, 2012, it will commence an offer (the "Offer to Purchase") to purchase any and all of its 7.75% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes").

On March 5, 2012, 0929260 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company ("AcquireCo"), a subsidiary of leading Polish copper producer KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. ("KGHM"), acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company for cash consideration of C$2.9 billion (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was funded by KGHM from cash on hand.

In connection with the Acquisition, it is currently expected that the Company will, no later than September 5, 2012, amalgamate with AcquireCo (the "Amalgamation"). The Company resulting from the Amalgamation will succeed to all of the obligations of the Company, including obligations under the Notes and the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture"), and all of the obligations of AcquireCo, including any debt of AcquireCo then outstanding, which is expected to consist of approximately US$1.87 billion in debt owing to another subsidiary of KGHM (such debt, the "KGHM Subordinated Debt"). The KGHM Subordinated Debt will be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, will mature at least six months after the maturity of the Notes and will bear interest payable in cash or in kind at the option of KGHM International.

The Acquisition is a "Change of Control" under the Indenture, and the Indenture requires that the Company make an offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes within 30 days of the Change of Control.

The terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase are set forth in the Company's Notice of Change of Control and Offer to Purchase, dated as of April 3, 2012. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the total consideration for Notes validly tendered pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase will be a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes (or US$1,010 per US$1,000 of Notes), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but excluding, the date the Notes are purchased pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding is US$500.0 million. The Offer to Purchase will expire at 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 3, 2012, unless extended or earlier terminated. Notes that have been tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase may be withdrawn on or prior to 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 3, 2012.

None of the Company, its directors, officers, shareholders or affiliates has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising its rights under the Offer to Purchase.
