    Result of AGM


    Zeehan Zinc held its Annual General Meeting today in Hobart, Tasmania, and all resolutions were duly passed.

    Shareholders, with the exception of Creat Group Limited ("Creat Group") and its associates who were excluded from voting, approved
Resolution 6 which enables the Company to issue to Creat Group up to 308.3 million ordinary shares in the capital of the Company at 1 pence
per share ("Subscription Shares") to raise �3,083,000 (approximately A$7.2 million).  

    On 10 November 2008 the Company entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Creat Group (HK) Limited to regulate the acquisition of
the Subscription Shares. The Share Subscription Agreement, as amended on 14 November 2008 includes the following provisions: 

    *     Completion will occur within 25 business days after the AGM ("Completion"). Zeehan Zinc will issue the Subscription Shares to
Creat Group on receipt of payment.

    *     Within the 12 month period after Completion, Creat Group will not sell, trade or otherwise deal in any of its shares in Zeehan
Zinc by way of an on market transaction without the prior consultation and approval of the Company's Nominated Adviser.

    *     The Company will seek to appoint at least one independent non-executive director to the Board, preferably with AIM and mining
experience, as soon as practicable following the AGM.

    *     Creat Group acknowledges that it and its agents will abstain from any and all deliberations and voting where it has a material
interest (as defined in the Australian Corporations Act 2001) in the subject matter of any transaction.
    The subscription for shares by Creat Group will represent a related party transaction as defined under Rule 13 of the AIM rules. Dr
Yuewen Zheng, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of Zeehan Zinc and Mr Xiaojian Ren, Managing Director and acting CEO of Zeehan Zinc have a
material interest of greater than 30% in the Creat Group.  The independent directors of Zeehan Zinc consider, having consulted with Libertas
Capital, the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned. 


    Use of funds
    The Company intends to utilise the funds raised in the following manner:

    *     Around A$4.0 million to fund its exploration plan and budget focussing on nickel; and 
    *     The remaining amounts to meet its ongoing overhead and administrative liabilities.
    Completion 
    On Completion, Creat Group's shareholding in the Company will increase to 317,300,000 ordinary shares with voting rights representing an
increase from 6.2% to 70.0% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.  As such, the interest of the existing shareholders will be
significantly reduced from 93.8% to 30% of the entire share capital.  

    The total issued share capital in the Company following Completion will be 453,276,674 ordinary shares with voting rights and the
Subscription Shares will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares. Application will be made to
the London Stock Exchange for the Subscription Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will become
effective and that trading in the Placing Shares will commence on or around 19 December 2008.
