Metminco Limited (“Metminco” or the “Company”) (ASX: MNC; AIM: MNC ) is pleased to announce that after the Closing Date (8 May 2015) of the well supported pro rata rights issue dated 1 April 2015 (“ Rights Issue” ) the Company has received further Shortfall applications to take up 40,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“ New Shares ”).

As advised in the Rights Issue Prospectus dated 1 April 2015 and in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and ASX Listing Rules, the Board has elected to accept these applications to raise an additional A$200,000.

The New Shares will be issued on the same terms and conditions as the Right Issue (being at an issue price of A$0.005 (£0.0026) with a free attached option exercisable at $0.005 (£0.0026) per share on or before 15 May 2016).

Following issue of these New Shares approximately 63% of entitlements available under the Rights Issue will have been taken up with a total of approximately A$ 1,785,985 having been raised before costs.

The Company will apply for quotation of the New Shares to be traded on the ASX and AIM. It is expected that quotation will take place and trading will commence on the ASX on or around 4 June 2015 and on AIM on or about 8 June 2015.
