Shanxi Donghui has also announced that it has waived all remaining conditions to the Offer other than the 51% minimum acceptance condition.  The Company's 56.1 % majority shareholder, Turquoise Hill Resources Limited (Turquoise Hill), has previously advised that, unless a superior proposal emerges, it will accept into the Offer in respect of all of the shares that it controls once all conditions to the Offer other than the minimum acceptance condition have been met.

As detailed in the Target's Statement that was despatched on 27 September 2013, shareholders should note that the Recommending Directors recommend that at such time as the Offer has become unconditional and Turquoise Hill has accepted the Offer for all of its shares, then shareholders should accept the Offer, in the absence of a superior proposal.

The Offer will remain open until 7pm, Melbourne time on 14 November 2013, unless further extended by Shanxi Donghui.
