Miraflores Compania Minera SAS (Miraflores Compania), formerly
Minera Seafield SAS from RMB Australia Holdings Limited (RMB) on 20
June 2016.

-- has a JORC 2012 Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of 832,000 ozs Au and 817,000 ozs Ag at a 1.2g/t Au
cut-off.
-- covers 6,043Ha of granted concessions and an additional 3,792Ha of pending applications,
-- hosts a number of deposits and significant exploration targets including Miraflores, Dosquebradas, Tesorito and
Chuscal, and
-- is located in Colombia's Middle Cauca Belt, which hosts several multimillion ounce gold discoveries.
-- The Quinchia Gold Portfolio provides the Company with a near
term cash flow opportunity via the Miraflores Project where a
mineable quantity of 4.03 million tonnes at 3.51g/t Au and 2.84g/t
Ag has been scheduled containing 455,000 ozs Au and 368,000 ozs
Ag.
-- Updated Miraflores Project mining study confirms an
underground mining only operation to be technically and financially
more robust than previous studies and will now be the focus of the
planned Feasibility Study.
-- The Company will seek funding for the completion of a
Feasibility Study and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) at the
Miraflores Project with a view to having the project permitted and
the development funded by the end of the 2017 calendar year.
Los Calatos Copper-Molybdenum Project
-- Agreement with CD Capital Natural Resources Fund III LP (CD
Capital) to fund the completion of Pre-feasibility and Feasibility
Studies. CD Capital to subscribe for new shares of up to US$45
million to acquire up to 70% of Los Calatos Holding Ltd (CD Capital
Transaction).
-- Initial investment of US$16 million to fund an infill
drilling program to upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources to Measured
and Indicated Mineral Resource categories, metallurgical testwork
and permitting to meet with the requirements of a Pre-feasibility
Study.
Mollacas
-- The Company and the landowner at the Mollacas Project settled
and terminated all outstanding claims in relation to the access
dispute.
-- The Company is assessing options available to it in relation
to this project including seeking to secure land access for mining
purposes.
Corporate
-- The CD Capital Transaction is anticipated to be completed by
mid-October 2016. An interim funding arrangement with CD Capital to
fund the Los Calatos Project until completion takes place, reducing
the Company's monthly cash burn by approximately A$100,000 from
September 2016.
-- The Company's cash position as at 30 June 2016 was
approximately A$0.6 million. Evaluation of funding alternatives to
progress the Miraflores Project through to completion of a Bankable
Feasibility Study and decision to mine is underway.
Managing Director, William Howe said, "The period has seen the
completion of two very significant events for the Company, the
first of which resulted in Los Calatos becoming a genuine
development option through securing a financial partner and,
secondly, our entrance into the gold sector with the acquisition of
Miraflores Compania. The focus is now firmly on advancing our near
term and robust Miraflores Project in Colombia through to
Feasibility and construction finance.
I am pleased we have exited a period of significant headwinds
for the sector with two highly promising projects, and we look
forward to updating our shareholders as we progress both projects
towards development."
