SHREE MINERALS LIMITED

15th May 2013

The Manager Companies Company Announcements Australian Securities Exchange Exchange Centre 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000

Dear Sir

Sub: Nelson Bay River Iron Project (NBR) - Off-take Agreement and Funding.

Shree Minerals Ltd (ASX Code: SHH) (“Shree Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Off-take Agreement for its Nelson Bay River Iron Ore DSO Project with Singapore based, Frost Global Pte Ltd (“Frost Global”) .

As a part of the agreement, Frost Global will be providing funding of US$4 million by way of an advance towards the supply of Iron Ore to be adjusted @ US$500,000 from each of the first 8 shipments of Iron Ore.

The production schedule for the first stage is to develop two relatively shallow opencut mines to produce direct shipping grade hematite ore. Direct shipping ore (DSO) only requires crushing and sizing to produce the DSO product.

The second stage involves the continuation of mining of the second opencut situated above the main magnetite orebody. The hematite oxide cap consists of the central DSO ore section mined in stage one which is surrounded by lower grade ore considered to have potential to produce a commercial beneficiated oxide product (BFO).

The third stage of the project involves opencut mining of the deep magnetite orebody beneath the oxide cap. Earlier studies have demonstrated that the magnetite ore can provide either a dense media magnetite (DMM) product suitable for coal washery applications or a blast furnace pellet (BFP) magnetite concentrate.

The mine life for the NBR project based on the current mine plan is expected to be 10 years and has potential to increase with further exploration work.
