    OZ Minerals to dispose of Menninnie interest
    following global review
    Terramin Australia Limited (ASX: TZN) has been informed by OZ Minerals
    Limited (“OZ Minerals”) that it will seek to dispose of its 76% interest in the
    Menninnie Dam Exploration Joint Venture (“Menninnie JV”).
    Terramin CFO, Mr Martin Janes, said the parties are in discussion
    regarding near term operation of the project. The Menninnie tenement,
    situated on the northern Eyre Peninsula, South Australia has an Inferred
    Resource of 3.8 million tonnes at 3.2% Pb, 4.0% Zn and 34g/t silver at a
    3.5% Pb+Zn cut-off.
    Terramin (24% interest) holds a pre-emptive right to acquire the OZ
    Minerals share should a third party make a bid. Terramin also operates the
    larger Nonning Joint Venture, adjoining the Menninnie project, with
    Minotaur Operations Pty Ltd.
    Terramin owned 100% of, and operated, the Menninnie JV until OZ
    Minerals (formerly Zinifex) earned its 76% interest by spending $8 million.
    Mr Janes commented, “These projects are part of Terramin’s strategic plan
    to be a global low-cost zinc producer. However, our immediate focus is on
    developing the 2 million tonne per year Tala Hamza mine through 2010,
    which will then expand to 4 or 5 million tonnes per year.”
    Mr Janes added, ”Our strategy is aimed at rewarding medium and long
    term shareholders. Recent broker reports point to target prices three to four
    fold current levels for Terramin. Revenues from our Angas mine are ahead
    of plan and we will finish Tala Hamza studies early in 2009, so this will
    provide a major uplift for the Company in the short term.”
    The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources
    is based on information compiled by Mr. Robert Singer, who is a Member of The
    Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Singer is Chief Geologist and

    experience that is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under
    consideration and to the activity that he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent
    Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting
    Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves’. Mr. Singer consents to
    the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and
    context in which it appears.
