Item 8.01. Other Events

On September 28, 2012, NiMin Energy Corp. (the “Company” or “NiMin”) announced that notwithstanding the Company’s press release dated September 24, 2012, the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) has now determined that its “Due Bill” trading procedures will apply to the initial distribution to shareholders of US$1.01 per common share (“Common Share”) of the Company which was previously announced on September 24, 2012. The distribution will be made as a return of capital to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 9, 2012, and the stated capital of the Company will be reduced accordingly. The distribution will be payable on October 22, 2012.

Pursuant to the TSX’s “Due Bill” trading procedures, trades of Common Shares entered into from and including October 4, 2012 until and including October 22, 2012 will have a Due Bill attached which will allow the purchaser to receive the initial distribution instead of the seller, even if such trades are settled after the October 9, 2012 record date. Thus, any trades that are executed during the Due Bill process will be automatically flagged to ensure that purchasers receive the entitlement and sellers do not.

Investors who enter into trades to purchase Common Shares on or after the ex-distribution date of October 23, 2012 will not be entitled to the distribution. The Due Bills will be redeemed on October 25, 2012 once all trades with attached Due Bills entered into up to October 22, 2012 have settled.

The Company is furnishing a copy of the press release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
