Noranda Income Fund Notice and Access Notification to Unitholders

SALABERRY-DE-VALLEYFIELD, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 04/15/13 -- Noranda Income Fund (the "Fund") (TSX:NIF.UN) has elected to utilize the notice and access provisions adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators ("Notice and Access") for the delivery of proxy-related materials - annual financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the circular (the "AGM Materials"). Management believes that the use of Notice and Access has the potential to reduce paper use and the number of packages mailed thus reducing the Fund's impact on the environment, while at the same time reducing the cost of printing and mailing the AGM Materials. The Annual General Meeting will be held on May 16, 2013.

The AGM Materials are now available on the Fund's website http://www.norandaincomefund.com/investor/agm_materials.html and on www.sedar.com.
