ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

ASX Code: MDX
Further to the Company‟s announcement released to the market on 14[th] April 2011, Mindax Limited (“Mindax” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the following revised terms in regard to the proposed pro-rata entitlements issue (“Rights Issue”).
Corporate Description
Mindax's Mt Forrest Iron Project progressing through development with a view to moving toward mining phase.
The company is carefully putting in place necessary approvals and aligning infrastructure partners including and port.
Coupled with its significant iron assets, Mindax is also the greenfields discoverer of a new uranium province near Mukinbudin, Western Australia.
Through technically advanced exploration and an eye for detail, Mindax has successfully built a significant portfolio of minerals projects in Western Australia‟s Yilgarn Craton of about 40 tenements covering over 4,600 square kilometres.
Mindax aims to develop strategic resources through innovative exploration. Higher yield projects will be moved to production via strategic partnerships.

After consultation with the Company‟s advisers and after considering current market conditions, the Board has resolved that the Rights Issue will be a renounceable offer of one (1) new share (“New Share”) for every five (5) shares held on the record date of 18 July 2011 at an issue price of 25 cents per New Share, together with one (1) free attaching new „piggyback‟ option (“New Option”) for every New Share issued. The Rights Issue has been partially underwritten by Patersons Securities Limited (“Underwriter”) to the extent of $4.75 million and will seek to raise gross proceeds of approximately $7,575,000 (assuming no existing options presently on issue are exercised prior to the record date).
The underwriting includes a commitment from Ms Lei You (the mother of Andrew Tsang, a non-executive director of Mindax), to sub-underwrite up to 50% of any shortfall, and Gilbert George (a non-executive director of Mindax) to sub-underwrite up to 1,000,000 securities of any shortfall under the Rights Issue. Further, Andrew Tsang intends to take up his own entitlement of 6,446,022 New Shares and New Options in full, representing 21.27% of the Rights Issue.
The funds raised will be applied principally to progress exploration and development of the Company‟s Mt Forrest Iron Project, particularly the DSO component which has the following identified highlights (refer ASX Announcement 11 May 2011):
-
Shallow mag-hematite resource of 19Mt @ 42.30% Fe (JORC Indicated and Inferred) with low phosphorous content.
-
Additional exploration target** of mag-hematite mineralisation of 15Mt to 30 Mt at an expected grade of 42% to 58% Fe.
-
Beneficiable to DSO equivalent product on preliminary metallurgical advice.
-
Early startup and cashflow targeting second half of 2013.
** The nature of the exploration target means that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
