MINING GROUP SIGNS OPTION TO ACQUIRE EL ROBLE COPPER PROJECT - CHILE

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

15 AUGUST 2013

Highlights

  • Mining Group to acquire up to 90% of El Roble copper project, Chile

  • Due diligence rock chip sampling returns up to 28.83% copper

  • Mineralising system over 6 kilometre of strike and history of high grade copper production with no modern exploration ever conducted

Mining Group Limited (ASX: MNE) is pleased to announce it has entered into an option agreement to acquire up to 90% of the El Roble copper project concessions within the Atacama region, Chile.

Commenting on the proposed acquisition, Mining Group Managing Director Mr Zeffron Reeves said: “We are very excited by the potential acquisition of the El Roble copper project in Chile. This project has the potential to deliver near term production and generate cash flows to fund further exploration activities and enable us to become self-funded within a short time frame.”

“Copper mineralisation at El Roble has been mapped over a 6 kilometre strike length with some startling copper grades being mined from small scale mining activities, with regularly shipped grades to local toll plants being in excess of 12% copper and our due diligence work has confirmed this.”

“In addition, the El Roble copper project is close to existing world class producing mines, but it is also within close proximity to transport and processing infrastructure. As a result, this project has the potential to provide near term, high grade copper production with limited capex spend.

“Mining Group’s strategy is to become self-funded through the discovery of economic widths of high grade near surface copper at the El Roble project using modern exploration techniques. If we can succeed in executing our strategy, this project will be transformational to Mining Group,” added Mr Reeves.

The El Roble Project

Located approximately 25 kilometres east of the Chilean port city of Caldera, the El Roble project (“Project”) is located within the world class Atacama IOCG province (Figure1). The Project area covers approximately 6,000 hectares of highly prospective, unexplored geology (Figure 2).

Figure 1- El Roble Project Location and the port of Caldera

High grade copper mineralisation occurs within a strike extensive vein system that has had historical production of approximately 1 million tonnes of ore grading more than 9% copper. Orebodies occur as high grade lenses within the vein system, sometimes extending over 100 metres along strike and down dip and having widths up to 12 metres.

Mining Group has conducted surface due diligence over the Project. The results of this due diligence indicate that the vein system is strike extensive, well mineralised and has the potential to host further high grade copper orebodies. The Project is unexplored with modern techniques and the interpreted strike extent of the system to the south west is covered by sand dunes and is untouched.

Due diligence

Due diligence work consisted of district scale geological mapping, rock chip sampling and systematic across strike channel sampling across exposed veins. Face sampling of development drives at the currently producing Descobridora and Veta Gruesa mines was also conducted. A table of all results is included in Appendix A. Sampling highlights include:

Deal terms

Mining Group has entered into an option agreement to acquire up to 90% of the Project through its 85% owned Chilean subsidiary Minera El Roble SpA (‘Minera El Roble”).

Minera El Roble SpA Corporate Structure

Prior to exercising the option to acquire the Project, Minera El Roble will be 85% owned by Mining Group, via its Chilean subsidiary, Mining Group Chile Ltda. The remaining 15% is held by a third party responsible for introducing the Project (refer below – Acquisition Fees).

Upon exercising of the option agreement preferred shares in Minera El Roble will be issued to the vendor so that the vendor will then hold 20% of the issued shares of Minera El Roble and the concessions will be transferred into the ownership of Minera El Roble. Mining Group will then hold a 68% interest and the introducer will hold 12% of the issued shares of Minera El Roble.

Consideration

The option agreement has a term of four years, and if, at its sole discretion, Mining Group meets all payment obligations and opts to exercise the option to acquire the Project, Mining Group will own an initial 68% share of the Project concessions. Following the completion of a feasibility study or within two years from the date of exercising the option, whichever occurs first, Mining Group can increase its ownership of the concessions to 90%. The vendor’s final 10% will be free carried until the Project has been declared bankable, at which point the vendor will be required to contribute or dilute on an industry standard pro rata formula. Mining Group will be required to finance Minera El Roble for all acquisition costs, exploration and development expenditure up to bankability.

Importantly, Mining Group may elect to walk away from the option agreement at any time (without further cost or liability).

The total purchase price for Mining Group to acquire an initial 68% of the Project is USD$8,000,000, with the payments being made according to the schedule below (Table 3).

APPENDIX 2: JORC Table 1, Section 1 Trench Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation
Sampling techniques
Rock chip samples collected are of a minimum 2kg weight.

Minimum sample interval was 0.50m and maximum of 2.00m were collected along trench
and adit walls.

Samples were sent to ALS Laboratories, Copiapo, Chile

Samples were pulverised to obtain a 30g charge for fire assay for gold

A 0.5g charge was digested by four acid near total digest and analyses using ICP-OES for
multielement analysis, including copper

Oregrade copper samples over 10,000ppm were re-assayed usingAAS
Logging
All rock chip samples are geologically logged by qualified geologists.

Geological data is recorded in the Company’sgeological database.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation

The sample collection and preparation technique is deemed suitable and industry
standard for surface sampling.

Samples are coarse crushed to 70% passing 2mm and then split produce a 30g sample for
gold assay and 0.5g sample for multielement assay. Sub samples are then pulverised to
85% passing 75 microns prior to assay.

No duplicate samples have been carried out

Sample size is deemed appropriate.
Criteria Explanation
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests

Assay techniques are deemed suitable and accurate for the elements being tested.

Standard reference materials have been submitted in each sample run every 20 samples

Blank reference materials are submitted in each sample run every50 samples
Verification of sampling
and assaying

All significant intersections have been calculated using weighted averaging to sample
length.

All data collected is done so in accordance with the Company’s written data collection
procedures and is kept within the Company’s electronic database. Original sample logs
and written data collection forms are also retained in the Company’s data library.
Locations of data points
Rock chip and trench samples are located using a hand held GPS

Co-ordinates are recorded in WGS84 co-ordinate system
Data spacing and
distribution

NA at this exploration stage
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Wherever possible trenches have been planned to intersect mineralised structures
perpendicular to the structure wherever possible.

Trench intercepts are along trench widths and do not indicate true widths of any
mineralised structure.
Sample security
All sampling is conducted under the supervision of an independent geology consultant
who conducted sample collection and the chain of custody from the drill to the sample
preparation and logging facility is continually monitored by the consultant. Samples are
shipped to the lab by qualified couriers or Company personnel under locked bags.
Audits or reviews
No audit or review has been conducted due to the early stage exploration nature of the
work.

Table 7: JORC Table, Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria Explanation
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

Mining Group does not own any of the properties sampled or mapped and sampling and
mapping completed was done so as part of a due diligence process in order to assess the
properties.
Geology
The El Roble Project consists of quartz and iron oxide veins, containing copper and gold
mineralisation. The veins are hosted within intrusive dioritic and andesitic volcanic rocks
of the Chilean Cretaceous Belt.
Trench information
Within announcement
Data aggregation
methods

Intercept widths are along trench widths, intercept calculated by weighted average for all
samples and no internal dilution was used.
Relationship between
mineralization widths
and intercept lengths

Trenches were designed to be excavated perpendicular to the interpreted strike of the
mineralised structures unless stated within the announcement

Intercept widths are along trench widths and are not true geological widths.
Diagrams
Within announcement
Further work
Further exploration work including mapping, sampling and drilling is required
