THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT
AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES


Anconia Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARA) ("Anconia" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the closing of the first tranche of its previously announced
non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") (see the Company's news
release dated April 2, 2014) issuing 525,000 units ("Units") at $0.06 per Unit
and 3,000,000 flow-through units ("Flow-Through Units") at $0.075 per
Flow-Through Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $256,500.


Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common
share purchase warrant (a "Unit Warrant"). Each whole Unit Warrant entitles the
holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.08 per share
for a period of 18 months following the date of issuance.


Each Flow-Through Unit consists of one common share of the Company issued on a
'flow-though' basis and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "FT
Warrant"). Each whole FT Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common
share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 18 months
following the date of issuance.


The aggregate proceeds raised under the Offering will be used, among other
things, to advance the Company's projects and for general working capital
purposes. Proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Units will be used for
Canadian Exploration Expenses on the Company's properties.


All of the securities issued under the first tranche of the Offering are subject
to a statutory hold period in Canada expiring on August 17, 2014.


As part of the Offering, directors and officers of Anconia directly and
indirectly subscribed for an aggregate of 525,000 Units and 1,000,000
Flow-Through Units. In addition, Bernard Sherman, an existing shareholder of the
Company beneficially owning or controlling, directly or indirectly, greater than
10% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, subscribed for
2,000,000 Flow-Through Units. Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -
Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"),
the issuance of Units and Flow-Through Units to the directors and to the
above-noted insider of Anconia constitute "related party transactions". The
Company is exempt from obtaining both a formal valuation and minority
shareholder approval in connection with the issuance of the Units and
Flow-Through Units to the directors and insider because neither the fair market
value of the common shares and warrants issued to such directors and insider
under the Offering, nor the consideration for such securities, exceeds 25% of
the Company's market capitalization as calculated in accordance with MI 61-101.
