NOTICE OF INITIAL SUBSTANTIAL HOLDER - TITAN RESOURCES LIMITED

The Company announces that it has today been granted a call option to acquire 60 million shares in ASX listed Titan Resources Limited (Titan).

The call option was granted by Consolidated Nickel Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed Consolidated Minerals Limited, and is in respect of approximately 16% of the current issued share capital of Titan. Associates of Reed Resources currently hold approximately 14 million shares in Titan. The grant of the call option accordingly results in Reed Resources holding a relevant interest in approximately 74 million shares in Titan, comprising approximately 19.8% of the current issued share capital of Titan.

On exercise of the call option, Reed Resources must issue one ordinary share in the capital of Reed Resources for every four shares acquired in the capital of Titan. The call option is exercisable in whole or in part in the event that Reed Resources makes an off-market bid to acquire all of the issued share capital of Titan. Reed is not, however, under any obligation to either make such an offer or to exercise the call option.

The Board of Reed Resources has not determined whether or not it will make a bid for Titan. It is in the early stages of evaluating its position and now intends to approach the board of Titan to discuss any opportunities and to conduct due diligence.
