DPM Dundee Precious Metals Inc

Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM)(TSX:DPM.WT)(TSX:DPM.WT.A) (the "Company"
or "DPM") is pleased to announce the signing of a Heads of Agreement with
Namibian Custom Smelters ("NCS") and its parent company, Weatherly International
plc ("WTI"), for the proposed modification of the terms of the DPM Group's
copper concentrate purchase and sales contract with NCS, including the extension
of such modified contract to 2013. The proposed modifications include the right
to sell up to 120,000 tonnes of concentrate per year to NCS for the years 2011,
2012 and 2013 and to reduce sales on 12 months' notice to allow for the start-up
of the DPM Group's metals production facility in Bulgaria. The Heads of
Agreement also provide for the provision of a US$11 million loan facility to
NCS, funded by DPM as to US$7 million for NCS working capital purposes and
improvements at NCS's Tsumeb smelter.


"The new arrangement will provide us with the assurance of a cost effective
processing alternative for our Chelopech Mine concentrate while we complete the
steps necessary to advance the development and construction of the Chelopech
Mine and plant expansion," said Jonathan Goodman, President and CEO of DPM. "It
will also give us added flexibility to advance the mine expansion before the
completion of the metals production facility. This is important in this
difficult and unpredictable financial environment."


The modified concentrate purchase and sale agreement and loan documentation
contemplated by the Heads of Agreement, which is subject to conditions including
the satisfactory completion of due diligence by DPM and DPM Board of Director
approvals, are expected to be entered into by mid-December.
