Tiomin Notes News Release From Jaguar Financial Announcing Its Intention to Not Proceed With Its Requisition for a Special Meeting of Shareholders of Tiomin
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 27, 2009) - Tiomin Resources Inc. ("Tiomin" or the "Company") (TSX:TIO) announced today that Jaguar Financial Corporation ("Jaguar") issued a news release on Friday April 24, 2009 communicating that Jaguar will not proceed with its requisition for a special meeting of shareholders of Tiomin that was previously announced on February 13, 2009.

Jaguar states in its release that the reason for not pursuing the requisition for the Special Meeting was Tiomin's decision to withdraw from the proposed business combination with Cadiscor Resources Inc. ("Cadiscor"). Tiomin announced this decision on February 19, 2009.

Despite Tiomin's withdrawal from the proposed Business Combination with Cadiscor - which was a direct result of Jaguar's actions, including Jaguar's requisitioning a special shareholders meeting to review the transaction - the Company still strongly believes that the Cadiscor transaction would have been transformational and added tremendous value for Tiomin shareholders.

While the Cadiscor transaction is no longer available to Tiomin, the current board remains firmly focused on its strategy to enhance shareholder value. It is working diligently to realize the value in Tiomin's current assets while also seeking an accretive transaction such that Tiomin's cash can be married with producing or near-producing assets.

Jaguar has made a number of statements over the past several months which Tiomin's management and board deny. Despite this, Jaguar's news release also states that it will continue to pursue all legal remedies in respect of Tiomin, its officers and directors and other parties that it previously announced.

On April 2, 2009, the Company announced that it had received notice from Jaguar of its intention to commence a court application for leave to file a derivative legal proceeding in the Company's name under the Canada Business Corporations Act against the current directors, a former director and third parties. This matter is now before the Court and the Company and the directors will be vigorously defending themselves against the issues raised in this matter.

Tiomin is mailing its Proxy Circular shortly, and looks forward to updating shareholders on its progress at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday May 26, 2009 at 10:00 am at The Toronto Stock Exchange Tower, the Gallery Room, Toronto, Ontario.
