AMENDED TERMS OF RESTRUCTURE AND RECAPITALISATION

Swan Gold Mining Limited (“Swan” or “Company”) (ASX: SWA) advises that it has agreed to revised terms to the Restructure Deed, signed in May 2012, between Investmet Limited (“Investmet”), Swan Gold Mining Ltd (“Swan”) and DCM DECOmetal GmbH (“DCM”) (see ASX Announcement of 3 May 3012 for detail).

Amended and Restated Swan Gold Restructure Deed

The terms of the Transaction as previously announced have been varied such that:

  1. Stirling no longer forms part of the inter‐conditional transaction.

  2. The capital raising to be undertaken by Swan will be up to $15 million, this amount may increase to $17.5 million with prior consent of Stirling. The capital raising is currently expected to be via a Placement of new shares at $0.02 per share. Investmet agrees to underwrite $7.5 million of the Placement.

  3. On Completion $10,664,240 of the $20,664,240 debt (“Investmet Debt”) will be converted into ordinary Swan shares at a deemed issue price of $0.02 per share. The Investmet Debt converted comprises of $8,054,240 of the trust debts and $2,590,000 debt acquired from Stirling.

  4. Under the Loan Syndicate Arrangements Investmet may elect to convert a further $5million of the balance of the $10 million Investmet Debt owing. If Investmet elects to convert the additional debt to shares then Stirling will be entitled to convert a proportionate amount of the $5 million debt owed to Stirling. Stirling may only convert a maximum amount of $2.5 million of debt.

  5. Investmet has agreed to provide the Company with interim funding through to completion of the transaction.. To date $1,000,000 has been advanced to Swan. The final amount of the debt owed under the interim funding arrangements will be converted to equity on completion. The final amount will depend upon the level of interim funding provided by Investmet through to completion of the Transaction.

  6. The proceeds of the capital raising will be used partially to repay debts of $4,200,000 to DCM.

  7. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith that the debt remaining after completion will be governed by the Loan Syndicate Arrangements (described in further detail below).

This funding is to continue is accordance with an agreed budget approved by Swan and Investmet and annexed to the executed Amended Loan Agreement.

Loan Syndicate Arrangements
