Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (TSX:DPM)(TSX:DPM.WT)(TSX:DPM.WT.A) ("DPM" or "the
Company") is pleased to announce it has completed the sale of its Timok and
Potoj Cuka gold projects located in Serbia (the "Projects"). Pursuant to a
business combination agreement dated April 28, 2010 among DPM, PJV Resources
Inc. ("PJV") and Rodeo Capital Corp. (now Avala Resources Ltd. ("Avala")), PJV
has acquired DPM's interest in the Projects through the acquisition of DPM's
Serbian subsidiary, Dundee Plemeniti Metali d.o.o., in exchange for
consideration consisting of PJV units and US$1.6 million in cash, and a business
combination has been effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby
PJV has amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avala. Upon the completion
of the amalgamation, all of the securities of PJV (including the securities
issued to DPM as part of the sale of its Projects, and the common shares and
warrants of PJV issuable upon the exchange of the subscription receipts issued
in the PJV financing transaction that closed on April 28, 2010), were exchanged
for (or became exercisable for) securities of Avala on a one-for-one basis. 


As a result of the business combination and exchange of the PJV subscription
receipts, DPM holds 73,437,357 common shares and 36,718,679 warrants of Avala, a
company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. DPM was also issued special rights
(the "Special Rights") to acquire up to an aggregate of 50,000,000 additional
Avala common shares for no additional consideration, of which 25,000,000 are
issuable upon a positive decision to proceed to a feasibility study on the
Projects and an additional 25,000,000 are issuable upon a positive decision to
bring all or part of the Projects into production. Upon completion of the
business combination (and assuming no exercise of convertible securities) DPM
holds approximately 50.3% of the outstanding Avala common shares or
approximately 60.3% assuming the exercise of DPM's warrants (but assuming that
no other convertible securities have been exercised and without factoring in the
50,000,000 Special Rights issued to DPM). Additional information with respect to
the forgoing transaction, including the terms of securities acquired by DPM, is
available in the Filing Statement of Avala filed on its SEDAR Profile at
www.sedar.com.
