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

The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Sentry Investments Inc. ("Sentry"), the
manager of Precious Metals and Mining Trust (the "Trust") (TSX:MMP.UN),
announces that the Trust's monthly cash distribution will be changed from its
current rate of $0.07 per unit to $0.035 per unit. This change will be effective
beginning with the monthly cash distribution payable on August 15, 2013, to
unitholders of record on July 31, 2013, and will remain at this level until
further guidance is provided by Sentry. 


The Board believes that this distribution decrease is prudent and in the best
interests of the Trust and its unitholders given the current environment for
gold mining equities. It is the view of Sentry that gold mining equities
continue to trade at their lowest valuations relative to the gold price in 25
years and, as a result, present an excellent investment opportunity. It is the
opinion of the Board that this distribution decrease should improve unitholders'
potential total return by maintaining capital in the Trust while continuing to
provide a reasonable level of monthly cash payout. 


It is the intention of the Board to reevaluate from time to time the Trust's
monthly distribution in the context of portfolio return expectations and to make
further changes to the Trust's monthly distribution amount when it is believed
that such changes represent a net benefit to unitholders.
