ASX ANNOUNCEMENT/MEDIA RELEASE

$300,000 ADDITIONAL FUNDS THROUGH CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Minbos Resources Limited (“ Minbos ” or “ Company ”) (ASX:MNB) wishes to announce that it expects to shortly complete financing arrangements with a group of sophisticated investors (“ New Noteholders ”) to provide an additional $300,000 in secured funding through the issue of convertible notes under a facility for $800,000 (“ New Facility ”). $500,000 was previously advanced to the Company as announced on 22 August 2013 and 4 October 2013. The $300,000 convertible note funding will provide the Company with working capital as it works on longer term funding solutions.

The fundraising from the New Noteholders is being managed and arranged by CPS Capital Group.

The Company has finalised the provision of general security and variations to the repayment dates and structure of the following existing convertible note facilities:

It is proposed that the New Facility, Reeves Facility, Carter Facility and Lind Facility will be secured under a general security deed granting security over all the Company’s present and after acquired property (“ General Security Deed ”).

Company in full or part satisfaction of the Company's obligations under any of the Facilities, or otherwise deal with the assets of the Company, without the Company first having complied with any applicable listing rules, including listing rule 10.1, other than as required by law or through a receiver, or receiver and manager (or any other person acting on behalf of any of the Noteholders) appointed by any of the Noteholders exercising their power of sale under the General Security Deed and selling the assets to an unrelated third party on arm's length commercial terms and conditions and distributing the cash proceeds to any or all of the Noteholders in accordance with their legal entitlements.
