subscription period expired Friday 14 November 2014 at 16.30 (CET). A

been substantially oversubscribed. The gross proceeds from the Rights
Issue will be NOK 16.8 million.

"Yet again the shareholders have expressed their support and ability to
move the Engebø rutile project towards realization. The strong interest
in the rights issue clearly shows the shareholders' confidence that the
government will follow up its program to strengthen the Norwegian
mineral industry. The shareholder support confirms the significant
potential related to industrial production of high quality titanium
feedstock in Naustdal."
CFO Lars K. Grøndahl comments:
"We are very pleased with the result from the Rights Issue. Generally,
investors are monitoring business plans and performance with a critical
view and the result sends a clear message that the plans and solutions
for Engebø hold high social and environmental standards."
