Cerro Resources NL (ASX:CJO)(TSX VENTURE:CJO) is pleased to advise that it has
raised A$2,319,500 through the share purchase plan (Plan), as initially
announced on July 9, 2012. 


Under the Plan, each eligible shareholder (being those holding fully paid
ordinary shares in the capital of the Company as at the Record Date and whose
address in the Company's register was in Australia or New Zealand), were invited
to subscribe for up to A$15,000 worth of fully paid ordinary shares in the
Company at a subscription price of A$0.07 per share.


Funds raised under the Plan will be used to:



--  secure the outstanding land required for development of the Cerro del
    Gallo project and attend to permitting and design requirements for the
    project's advancement; 
    
--  satisfy the Company's general working capital expenses; and 
    
--  fund ongoing exploration activities by the Company. 



The Company's Managing Director Tony McDonald said, "It is pleasing that
shareholders have responded favourably to this opportunity to participate where
market conditions are somewhat uncertain. They recognise the underlying value of
the Company's assets and hopefully a re-rating is not far off".

period in Canada under Canadian securities laws and cannot be traded on the TSX

is available from the applicable prospectus requirements in Canada. Shares
issued in Australia will be tradeable on the ASX but will not be convertible to
shares tradeable in Canada during this hold period. The Company will implement
appropriate controls with its share registries to ensure Canadian regulatory
