Sentry Select Capital Corp. Closes Offering for 130/30 Mining LP

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 27, 2008) - Sentry Select Capital Corp. ("Sentry Select" or the "Manager") is pleased to announce that 130/30 Mining LP (the "Partnership") has closed its initial public offering.

Gross proceeds

At the closing, the Partnership issued 1,811,114 Class A Units and 128,550 Class F Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $19,396,640. The gross proceeds consisted of $18,905,600 in cash and $491,040 in exchange eligible securities.

Investment objectives

The Partnership will invest in an actively managed portfolio consisting primarily of equity and debt securities of metals and minerals mining and exploration issuers ("Mining Issuers") that are listed on a North American stock exchange, using a 130/30 approach with the view to:

- providing Limited Partners with monthly cash distributions of 8% per annum (approximately $0.0667 per month) based on the initial price of Units; and

- enhancing the net asset value ("NAV") of the Partnership.

Investment strategy

The 130/30 strategy is designed to enable the Manager to invest 100% of the net proceeds in long positions of Mining Issuers. The Manager then has the discretion to sell short securities (in any sector) with a value of up to 30% of the NAV at the time the short sales are made. The cash proceeds from the short sales may then be used to increase the long positions by an amount equal to the short sales, up to 30% of NAV. The net result is a portfolio of up to 130% of NAV in long positions, up to 30% of NAV in short positions, creating a net long exposure of 100% of NAV. The relative value of these long/short positions will vary during the life of the Partnership.

Rollover

To provide potential for liquidity and long-term growth of capital, the General Partner intends to implement a Rollover at a date no later than July 31, 2010, pursuant to which the assets of the Partnership would be transferred to Sentry Select Corporate Class Ltd. or another mutual fund that is a reporting issuer, on a tax-deferred basis, in exchange for mutual fund shares, following which such shares will be distributed to the Limited Partners pro rata on a tax-deferred basis upon the dissolution of the Partnership. If the Partnership completes a Rollover with Sentry Select Corporate Class Ltd., the Partnership will receive shares of Sentry Select Mining Opportunities Class.
