Trio Resources, Inc. Signs Five-Year Off-Take Agreement to Process $30MM of Mineralized Material with United Commodity AG

TORONTO, April 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Trio Resources, Inc. ("Trio" or the "Company") (OTCBB: TRII) is pleased to announce that it has signed a five-year Off-Take Agreement (the "Agreement") with United Commodity AG ("UC"; Stuttgart: 3UI1:GR; website: http://www.united-commodity.com) to process precious metals from the Company's above-ground stockpiles of silver-containing mineralized material. The Agreement calls for a minimum 334 tons of Trio's feed concentrate to be delivered per month to UC for processing, at its eco-friendly Yukon Refinery in Cobalt, Ontario. The minimum 20,000 tons of deliverable material under the Agreement will originate from Trio's aggregate stockpiles of an estimated 1.3MM tons of mineralized material.

Trio Resources, Inc. maintains stockpiles of mineralized material containing silver, cobalt, nickel, and zinc, all of which are recoverable via UC's treatment process. Trio's aim is that by working with UC and utilizing their cutting-edge facility, the Company will be able to more efficiently and effectively recover its value minerals.

"The Agreement with UC is an important first step toward realizing the value of our above-ground mineralized material, and is essential in propelling our business plan forward with respect to generating positive cash-flows," stated Duncan Reid, CEO of Trio Resources, Inc.

"As a junior exploration and small production company, we are in a unique position insofar as we possess above-ground assets, which could potentially fund our exploration initiatives. Our aim is to continue working to monetize our existing assets, in order to further develop the Company."
