FLINDERS MINES LIMITED (FMS)

Flinders Mines Limited (“Flinders”) provides shareholders with an update relating to its Scheme
Implementation Agreement (“SIA”) with Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works OJSC (“MMK”) dated
25 November 2011.

Regarding the injunction granted by the Arbitration Court of Chelyabinsk Region, Russian
Federation, in relation to the MMK and Flinders scheme of arrangement, MMK has informed
Flinders that:

1. On Friday 6 April 2012 MMK lodged a motion with the Arbitration Court of Chelyabinsk
Region (Russian Federation) seeking the discharge of the injunction. That motion will
most likely be heard no later than April 13, 2012;
2. As a consequence of the injunction MMK has postponed its decision in relation to the
execution of a loan facility agreement proposed to complete the scheme of arrangement.
Flinders will continue to keep its shareholders informed regarding these developments and
requests a lift of the trading halt in the Company’s securities.
