ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
13 FEBRUARY 2008
RESPONSE TO ZINIFEX ASX RELEASE
Allegiance made full and immediate disclosure of trading losses
Zinifex Australia Limited ('Zinifex') today made a release about Allegiance Mining NL's
(Allegiance's) recent share trading losses. Allegiance has for several years conducted and made full
disclosure about limited investment trading activities.
Most of the recently reported share trading losses were identified after the date of Allegiance's
Target's Statement, so could not have been disclosed in it as Zinifex suggests.
Allegiance made full disclosure of the losses on 31 January 2008, as soon as the amount of the
losses was determined, and over a week before this issue was mentioned in the press. The
disclosure comprised detailed information over nine lines of text, not one line as Zinifex said today.
Allegiance considers that the losses reported are the maximum amount claimed and may be less
but not more.
Allegiance terminated its investment activity immediately after the January losses were identified.
Allegiance considers that Zinifex is using inaccurate statements about the losses and their
disclosures as a diversionary tactic in the context of its opportunistic and inadequate $1.00 per
share takeover bid for Allegiance. Allegiance notes the lack of traction in acceptances of Zinifex's
offer which is about to enter its seventh week.
Notwithstanding this Allegiance remains prepared to discuss with Zinifex improvements to the terms
of its bid.
