Amended Notice of General Meeting

The Board of Celamin Holdings NL (ASX Code:CNL) advises that a previous version of the Notice of General Meeting and Proxy Form, released today, contained an error on page 2 under the heading "Voting Instructions".

The Board would like to reiterate that they UNANIMOUSLY OPPOSE all three resolutions in the Notice of Meeting and encourages shareholders to vote AGAINST all three resolutions.

The attached Notice of General Meeting and Proxy Form supersedes that lodged previously.

About Celamin Holdings NL

Celamin Holdings NL (ASX Code CNL) is an ASX-listed company focused on the exploration and development of resource projects in North Africa, initially in Tunisia and Algeria.

Celamin holds the Chaketma Phosphate exploration permit in Tunisia with Tunisian Mining Services (TMS). This project is Celamin's current focus as it has better target potential than Celamin's other Phosphate project, Bir El Afou. The first results from channel sampling, drilling program and historic data at Chaketma have been announced. The Chaketma project would use the same rail and port infrastructure as identified in the Bir El Afou pre-feasibility studies.

Celamin continues to step up work to carry out a due diligence drilling program for its farm-in to an Exploitation Permit at the Oued El Kebir precious and base metal project in Algeria.

Celamin has also acquired rights to several base metal tailings Projects in Tunisia with TMS and is the holder of three Exploration Permits with base metal (Pb/Zn) targets on a 50/50 basis with TMS.

ASX LIMITED ("ASX") LISTING RULE REQUIREMENTS

There are no special ASX Listing Rule requirements relating to the Resolutions and no voting exclusions apply.

CORPORATION ACT REQUIREMENTS

Section 249D of the Corporations Act relevantly provides that the directors of a company must call and arrange to hold a general meeting on the request of members with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast at the general meeting.

Section 249P of the Act provides that the member that has requisitioned the meeting under section 249D may have a statement included in the Explanatory Memorandum providing information or expressing opinion on the Resolutions proposed in the 249D Notice. No such statement was provided.

In the absence of a statement from RNAJ providing (1) background on its nominated candidate or (2) its plans for the Company that could be included in this Notice for your consideration, your Board is unable to make any comments or recommendations on either of these two key issues that would appear central to your decision on the Resolutions before the Company.
