    ""((Disposal of Non Core Assets for $8 million

    CuDeco Limited advises that it has entered into a conditional agreement for the sale of
    the Mt Norma Copper Sulphate business and other non core mineral leases for
    consideration receivable by it amounting to $7.925 million.

    The copper sulphate business comprises copper sulphate production plant and equipment
    in Cloncurry, Queensland, all inventory including ore stockpiles and the Mt Norma
    mining leases which provide feed ore for the processing plant.

    Under the terms of the sale agreement, CuDeco will transfer ownership of its 75%
    interest in the share capital of Kryptonite Battery Company Pty Ltd (owner of the Mt
    Norma mining leases ML2506, 2550, 2551) and of its 100% interest in the capital of
    Flamingo Copper Mines Pty Ltd (owner of ML 90103 and 90104 – Flamingo leases).
    The production plant and equipment and all inventory and mining lease ML 2541
    (Belgium lease), 2518, 7498 and MC 4348, 4349 and 4350 (Winston Churchill Group
    leases) and MLAs’ 90172, 90173, 90174, 90175, 90176 and EPM application will be
    disposed by CuDeco Ltd itself.

    The total consideration receivable by CuDeco of $7.925 million comprises the following:

    $2.175 million in cash (of which $112,500 has been received, $75,000 is receivable in
    mid April and balance of $1,987,500 is receivable no later than end June 2007);

    $5.75 million in ordinary fully paid shares in Queensland Mining Corporation Pty Ltd
    (“QMC”). The number of QMC shares issued to CuDeco shall be based on the higher
    of 25 cents per share or the price used by QMC in an initial offer of its shares to the
    public (“QMC IPO”) if the QMC IPO is completed prior to settlement of the
    transaction with CuDeco.

    Kaldig Pty Ltd, the holder of the remaining 25% of the share capital of Kryptonite
    Battery Company Pty Ltd, has also agreed to sell its interest to QMC for consideration
    that is identical (on a pro rata basis) to that receivable by CuDeco. Kaldig Pty Ltd is an
    entity related to CuDeco’s director, Mr Wayne McCrae.

    QMC is an unrelated company that holds other copper and gold assets in the Cloncurry
    Mineral Fields (including the previously operated Young Australian and Chinaman
    copper mine), an EPM adjoining CuDeco’s Rocklands Group Copper Project in
    Cloncurry and a significant nickel/copper/cobalt deposit in the Northern Territory.
    Earlier this financial year, QMC purchased the share capital of Spinifex Mines Pty Ltd
    (previously operated gold and copper mining operations), an entity previously owned as
    to 66.67% by Kaldig Pty Ltd, an entity related to Mr McCrae. As a result of that
    transaction and as a result of previous direct share and loan investments made by related
    entities of Mr McCrae in QMC, those related entities of Mr McCrae presently have an
    interest of 10.79% in QMC shares.

    As indicated above, QMC plans to complete an initial offer of its shares to the public and
    seek a listing on ASX. Based on advice from QMC in relation to its capital raising plans
    both before and during the QMC IPO, CuDeco will have an interest of approximately
    13% in the capital of QMC, following completion of the QMC IPO. Whilst no firm
    arrangements have been put in place, QMC has indicated that it will consider offering its
    shares under the QMC IPO to CuDeco shareholders on a priority basis and further details
    will be announced in the near future.

    Under the terms of the agreement, QMC must lodge its prospectus for the QMC IPO by
    no later than 30 June 2007 and CuDeco expects settlement of the sale transaction to be
    completed around 30 June 2007.

    Over the last one year, the Directors have made the Rocklands Group Copper Project the
    main focus of the Company and the copper sulphate business has become a non core
    business. The Directors wish to ensure that this focus is maintained and intensified,
    without the distractions of the copper sulphate business. Apart from providing a
    significant amount of cash in the short term (which will be utilized to further advance the
    Rocklands Project), the sale will enable many key staff who are engaged in the copper
    sulphate business to be utilized at the Rocklands Project – for example, executive
    director, Mr Peter Hutchinson, a process chemist, who currently spends most of his time
    on the copper sulphate business will manage CuDeco’s in-house laboratory for the
    Rocklands Project. The disposal sends a clear signal to investors that the Company and
    its directors are totally focused on the Rocklands Project, which, in its own right, has the
    potential to be a company maker. At the same time, CuDeco will have a significant
    interest in QMC and will be able to benefit from the upside offered by QMC’s diverse
    portfolio of assets. ))""

    Now, why did we sell all that for a song and a dance if it was all as good as someone is trying hard to tell us.??

    And what happened to the QMC interests that CDU owned.??
