      Tiomin Schedules Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders for
      May 26, 2009
=======================================================================

TORONTO - March 5, 2009: The Board of Directors of Tiomin Resources
Inc. (TSX:TIO) ("Tiomin") has called an annual and special meeting of
the shareholders of Tiomin to be held on May 26, 2009 (the "Meeting").
The Meeting has been called as Tiomin's annual and special meeting and
also in response to a requisition made pursuant to section 143 of the
Canada Business Corporations Act.

Jaguar Financial Corporation ("Jaguar") previously requisitioned a
meeting of Tiomin's shareholders for the purpose of removing the
current Board of Directors of Tiomin and electing a slate of directors
to be proposed by Jaguar. Jaguar's alternate slate of directors will be
considered by shareholders at the Meeting, along with management's
proposed slate of directors. At this time, an alternative slate of
directors has not been proposed by Jaguar.

At the Meeting, shareholders will also be asked to approve and ratify
Tiomin's shareholder rights plan agreement between Tiomin and
Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the "Rights Plan"), which Tiomin
previously announced on December 10, 2008. The Rights Plan is designed
to encourage fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any
take-over bid for Tiomin and to provide the Board of Directors with
more time to consider any unsolicited take-over bid for Tiomin and
pursue, if appropriate, other value enhancing alternatives to allow
shareholders to receive full and fair value for Tiomin's common shares.
A copy of the Rights Plan is available on Tiomin's website at
www.tiomin.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Jinchuan whereby Jinchuan would acquire 70% of Tiomin Kenya Limited
