29 October 2007 ASX ANNOUNCEMENT CLARIFICATION OF SPECULATION ON TERMINATION OF MERGER Subsequent to the announcement on 25 October 2007 of the decision by each of the Boards of Sundance Resources Limited (ASX: SDL) and Gindalbie Metals Limited (ASX: GBG) not to proceed with the proposed merger of the companies, there has been considerable speculation regarding the payment of a A$15 million break fee and the recommendations of the Independent Expert. Sundance would like to clarify both points as follows: 1) NO break fee is payable by Sundance as a consequence of the decision by Sundance and Gindalbie to terminate the merger; and 2) NO report was completed by, nor any recommendation received from, the Independent Expert. The Independent Expert was engaged by Sundance to report on whether the proposed merger by way of Scheme of Arrangement was in the best interests of Sundance shareholders. The Independent Expert had no role in undertaking due diligence investigations into Sundance or Gindalbie. Shareholders are referred to the September 2007 Activities Report released on 26 October 2007 for an update on exploration, including first results released from drilling at the Mbarga prospect on Exploration Permit No. 92. These drilling results outline promising +60% Fe hematite mineralization at the Mbarga prospect, consistent with previous exploration carried out at the prospect by the United Nations Development Program (“UNDP”). With a cash balance of A$76 million at the end of September 2007 and the support of a strong shareholder group, Sundance is progressing its exploration and development program on its 90%-owned Mbalam Project. The Board’s target resource exploration objectives for the project are unchanged with the Company currently preparing to ship the first of two new RC drill rigs from South Africa to expedite resource definition work at the Mbarga prospect and to extend drilling activities to adjacent prospects.
