CELAMIN HOLDINGS - INVESTMENT UPDATE

Swiss Supreme Court declares in favour of Celamin

Polo Resources Limited (AIM: POL), the multi-sector investment company with interests in oil, gold, coal, copper, phosphate, lithium, iron and vanadium, notes that its 25.03% investee company Celamin Holdings Limited (ASX:CNL) ("Celamin") has issued an update regarding the progress of the legal proceedings between its wholly owned subsidiary Celamin Limited and its joint venture partner Tunisian Mining Services ("TMS") to recover its 51 per cent shareholding in Chaketma Phosphates SA ("CPSA") that was fraudulently transferred to TMS.

Celamin has advised that the company has received confirmation from the Swiss Supreme Court that they have decided to declare inadmissible Tunisian Mining Services' ("TMS") annulment application to set aside the Final Arbitration Award delivered by the arbitrator in the ICC arbitration of its dispute with its joint venture partner TMS in relation to the fraudulent transfer to TMS of Celamin's 51% shareholding in Chaketma Phosphates SA ("CPSA"), the operating company which holds the Chaketma Phosphate Permit. The Final Award found in favour of Celamin Limited, ordering TMS to return Celamin Limited's 51% shareholding in CPSA and to pay damages and costs in excess of US$4 million.

The Swiss Supreme Court has further ordered TMS to pay the Court's cost of approximately A$21,500, plus an additional indemnity to Celamin for its legal costs in the amount of approximately A$24,000.

Celamin will provide a more detailed update in due course following review of the complete decision.
