ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
To Be Held On June 1, 2012

This Supplement to Proxy Statement is being furnished to the holders of the common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of CD International Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) for use in voting at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on Monday, June 1, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time at the Company’s principal executive offices located at 431 Fairway Drive, Suite 200, Deerfield Beach, Florida 33441.

This Supplement to Proxy Statement and the Amended Notice of the Fiscal 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders supplement the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement, each dated April 18, 2012, previously made available to our shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting.

This Supplement is being furnished to provide information related to the change of the location of the meeting to the Company’s principal executive offices. This Supplement does not provide all of the information that is important to your decisions in voting at the Annual Meeting. Additional information is contained in the Proxy Statement for our Annual Meeting that was previously made available to our shareholders. If you previously received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which we mailed on or about April 19, 2012, you may view the Proxy Statement, the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011, this Supplement, the amended Proxy Card, and the Amended Notice of the Fiscal 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders which are available at www.envisionreports.com/CDII. See “Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 1, 2012” filed with the SEC.

The amended proxy card or voting instruction card enclosed with this Supplement differs from the proxy card or voting instruction card previously furnished to you with the Proxy Statement dated April 18, 2012, in that the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card reflects the new location of the Annual Meeting. You may vote on all four proposals by submitting the amended proxy card or voting instruction card enclosed with this Supplement or submitting a proxy via the Internet or by telephone by following the procedures on your amended proxy card or voting instruction card. Properly executed proxies that do not contain voting instructions for any item will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.
