ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

SHARE PURCHASE PLAN OFFER RAISES APPROXIMATELY A$1.0 MILLION

Metminco Limited (Metminco or the Company) (ASX: MNC; AIM: MNC ) announces that the share purchase plan offer ( SPP Offer ) acceptances (as previously announced) and subsequent placement of shortfall shares has raised approximately A$1.0 million before costs by issue of 234,535,724 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company ( Share ) at an issue price of A$0.004 (£0.0021) per Share.

As announced on 6 May 2016 the SPP closed on 29 April 2016 with 151,785,724 Shares being issued. Subsequently a number of investors applied for Shares under the shortfall provisions of the SPP Offer and the Board has now placed a further 82,750,000 Shares ( Shortfall Shares ) on the same terms and conditions as the SPP Offer.

The Company also received notices of exercise of 6,582,125 Rights Issue Options ( Option Shares ) granted in 2015 at an issue price of A$0.005 (£0.0026) per Share, prior to expiry, raising a total of A$32,910. Of the Rights Issue Options granted in 2015, 54,654,492 have been exercised raising $273,272 with the remaining 510,977,194 Rights Issue Options lapsing.

Funds raised from the SPP Offer and exercise of the Rights Issue Options will be applied to the acquisition of Minera Seafield SAS ( Minera Seafield ) from RMB Australia Holdings Limited and the development of Minera Seafield’s wholly owned Quinchia Gold Project, and working capital.

The Company is on track to assume ownership of the Quinchia Gold Project which includes:

  • the potential near term cash flow at Miraflores which contains an estimated NI 43-101 mineral resource of 2.8 million ounces of gold; and,

  • the highly prospective Tesorito gold exploration target.

The Company has scheduled on site meetings with independent experts engaged to complete the Miraflores feasibility study and is also currently planning a drilling program to test the Tesorito target.

Mr William Howe, Managing Director, commented: “A review of independent expert work completed to date indicates that there is significant potential opportunity to optimise the Miraflores project economics and to facilitate its development into a gold producing asset in the short term. A successful drilling program at Tesorito, adjacent to the Miraflores deposit, would further enhance the economics of a potential development.

Negotiations on equity funding for the Company’s Los Calatos copper-molybdenum project are well advanced. Securing funding for the Los Calatos Project would progress the project through to completion of a feasibility study and thereafter potential development of Los Calatos into a relatively low cost mine producing 50,0000 tonnes of copper in concentrate per annum for some 22 years.
