Non-Renounceable Rights Issue

Carbine Tungsten Limited announces a non-renounceable Rights Issue of one New Share for every five existing shares held by shareholders at an issue price of 9 cents per share. The funds will ensure the successful commissioning of the tailings re-treatment plant and continuation of the feasibility study for the second stage of development, namely the processing of approximately 12 million tonnes of previously-mined stockpiled material, and will also be used for general working capital purposes.

Construction of the tailings re-treatment plant is nearing completion, and a programme for commissioning and production ramp-up is about to be implemented. The Directors see no further obstacles that might prevent commissioning and bringing the plant into production from the end of February through March 2012. The first revenues are now budgeted for receipt towards the end of May 2012, after allowing for time to deliver product to the customer.

The details of the offer, including the timetable and the application for quotation (Appendix 3B), are attached.
