Precious Metals and Mining Trust announces a change to its distribution (TSX:MMP.UN)

Sentry Investments Inc. ("Sentry"), the manager of Precious Metals and Mining
Trust (the "Trust") announces that the Trust's monthly distribution rate will be
changed from the current $0.10 per unit to $0.07 per unit. This change will be
effective at the next monthly distribution, payable on April 15, 2013 to
unitholders of record on March 28, 2013.


Sentry believes this distribution decrease is prudent and beneficial for
unitholders in the current environment for gold mining equities. In Sentry's
view, gold mining equities are at their lowest valuations relative to the gold
price in twenty-five years and represent an exceptional investment opportunity.
It is Sentry's opinion that this distribution decrease will improve unitholders'
potential total return by maintaining the capital invested in the Trust while
still respecting the Trust's cash distribution objective.


It is Sentry's intention, as manager of the Trust, to reevaluate from time to
time the Trust's distribution in the context of portfolio return expectations
and to make changes to the distribution when it believes such changes represent
a net benefit to unitholders.


PRECIOUS METALS AND MINING TRUST 

Precious Metals and Mining Trust is designed to provide unitholders with
long-term capital appreciation and monthly cash distributions by investing in a
portfolio consisting primarily of equity securities of mining issuers listed on
a North American stock exchange. The Manager actively manages the Trust's
investments, which includes a rotation of weightings within the metals and
minerals sectors.
