The Directors of MacPhersons Resources Limited (ASX: MRP) are pleased to announce that they have reached a successful agreement with Reed Resources Ltd (ASX: RDR) for the extinguishment of Reed’s 1% zinc royalty over MRP’s Nimbus Project. Reed has agreed to the extinguishment of the royalty in exchange for $200,000 worth of MRP shares, based on the 5 day VWAP for MRP shares prior to the date of issue. The transaction is conditional upon the parties executing a formal Deed of Release and Extinguishment in relation to the royalty within 14 days.

This makes the Nimbus operations free of all non-regulatory royalties for gold, silver, zinc and other future base metals products , and positions MacPhersons well to deliver maximum returns to its shareholders.

With recent announcements on the JORC ore reserves and mineral resource statements (see page 2) and progress updates on the Nimbus feasibility studies, MacPhersons are well positioned to meet production plan targets in 2014 .

This is a significant milestone for the Company and still both the Nimbus and Boorara projects have more exploration upside with mineralisation open along strike and at depth.

Jeff Williams

Non-Executive Director

MacPhersons Resources Managing Director Morrie Goodz commented:

“The extinguishment of royalties provided a win-win outcome for both parties,” Mr Goodz said.

“By removing all non-regulatory royalties and overheads, the company has prioritised shareholder returns”.

“We are now very much focused on our production plan for 2014”.

About MacPhersons

MacPhersons Resources Ltd (MRP) is a Western Australian resource company with a number of advanced gold, silver and zinc exploration projects.

The Company's focus is to explore and extend the highly prospective Boorara and MacPhersons geological domains of which the Company holds 100% interest in 20km and 11km of strikelength, respectively, including the Nimbus silver-gold-zinc mine and the namesake MacPhersons open cut gold mine.

To fast track the opportunity to process MacPhersons’ ore within the MRP business, the Company has acquired mill processing and mine assets at the Nimbus silver-gold-zinc mine, located 10 km east of Kalgoorlie’s superpit. The assets come with an approved site for ore processing.

The assets have advanced exploration targets adjacent to and beneath 10 existing open cuts and with multiple polymetallic VHMS deposits carrying silver-gold- zinc-lead-copper mineralisation, and new greenfields discoveries.
