Concerned Shareholders of St. Elias Mines Ltd. Announce Overwhelming Support for Election of Dissident Nominees
January 14, 2013 (Vancouver) - Gilby Len Hastman and Darcy Kim Hastman (the Concerned Shareholders) announce that, aft
--->er a two week delay, they have now received the scrutineers' report (the Report) of St. Elias Mines Ltd. (TSX Venture:
---> SLI) (the Company) for the annual general and special meeting of shareholders of the Company held on December 27, 201
--->2 (the AGM). To date, the Company has not publically announced these results. 
Significantly, the Report discloses that management of the Company (Management) received approximately 6,671,436 votes
---> at the AGM which is in stark contrast to the 64,649,933 shares represented by the valid Green Proxies  received by th
--->e Concerned Shareholders and delivered to the Company for use at the AGM (please see the news release of the Concerned
---> Shareholders dated January 2, 2013). Therefore, the Green Proxies accounted for approximately 91% of the total votes 
--->cast at the AGM in favour of electing the Dissident Nominees as directors of the Company. This was a remarkable result
--->. 
The Report also confirms that, of the five Management nominees for directors, Lori McClenahan and Tina Whyte received,
---> respectively, the fewest and second fewest votes cast, including by shareholders who completed white proxies for use 
--->at the AGM.
The Concerned Shareholders will take steps to ensure that this important information is brought to the attention of th
--->e British Columbia Securities Commission (the BCSC) and the TSX Venture Exchange (the TSXV). As previously announced, 
--->the Concerned Shareholders believe that Ms. McClenahan, as the Chair at the AGM, had no authority or jurisdiction to r
--->eject all of the Green Proxies and that the majority of the Dissident Nominees, being Gilby Len Hastman, Darcy Kim Has
--->tman, Ted E.R. Rutherglen, James E. Rainbird and Richard Alexander Defreitas, were elected as directors of the Company
---> at the AGM.
The Report provides further evidence of the Company's attempts to entrench Management and to disenfranchise and thwart
---> the will of a significant majority of the shareholders of the Company. The Concerned Shareholders believe that the Co
--->mpany's actions undermine the fundamental rights afforded to shareholders of companies listed on the TSXV and erode in
--->vestor confidence in the Canadian capital markets.

Report) of St. Elias Mines Ltd. (TSX Venture: SLI) (the Company) for the annual general and special
meeting of shareholders of the Company held on December 27, 2012 (the AGM). To date, the Company has
not publically announced these results.

Significantly, the Report discloses that management of the Company (Management) received approximately

Green Proxies received by the Concerned Shareholders and delivered to the Company for use at the AGM
(please see the news release of the Concerned Shareholders dated January 2, 2013). Therefore, the Green
Proxies accounted for approximately 91% of the total votes cast at the AGM in favour of electing the

The Report also confirms that, of the five Management nominees for directors, Lori McClenahan and Tina
Whyte received, respectively, the fewest and second fewest votes cast, including by shareholders who
completed white proxies for use at the AGM.

The Concerned Shareholders will take steps to ensure that this important information is brought to the
attention of the British Columbia Securities Commission (the BCSC) and the TSX Venture Exchange (the

markets.
