• Existing joint development strategy with Pybar terminated to take advantage of improved market conditions.
• Pybar to remain as preferred contractor subject to agreement on suitable mining contract terms.
• Exterra and MRG to source conventional debt funding in addition to existing capital for Second Fortune Gold Mine development.

Exterra Resources Limited ("Exterra" or "the Company") (ASX:EXC) advises that Exterra and Pybar Mining Services Pty Ltd ("PYBAR") have agreed to terminate the current joint development strategy for the Second Fortune Gold Mine in favour of pursuing a more conventional debt/equity financing arrangement given improved market conditions and the new operational arrangements with the Mitchell River Group ("MRG") as recently announced.

Given the positive relationship developed through the negotiations to date as well as the operational synergies with PYBAR's other operations in the region, Pybar remain as Preferred Contractor to establish the Underground Mining and Services Contract at Second Fortune.

Pybar currently have underground mining contracts with Saracen at the Red October and Deep South operations immediately north and south respectively from the Second Fortune project which provides logistical benefits to the project.

As announced on the 28 June 2016 Exterra and Mitchell River Group (MRG) have executed a Term Sheet which contemplates the parties entering into a Management Agreement whereby MRG brings the technical and commercial personnel, experienced in project development, to the Linden Project on a cost plus basis to ensure a smooth development pathway for the Second Fortune Mine. On this basis MRG will be working closely with Pybar to finalise financing and an Underground Mining and Services Contract going forward.

Exterra will now pursue debt funding in a very strong gold market, using the experience of MRG, to fund development of the Second Fortune mine and with all profits from gold production remaining 100% Exterra. This also reduces dilution to shareholders and preserves the upside exposure in relation to the mine.

As announced on the 28 June Exterra received commitments from professional and sophisticated investors, including the Mitchell River Group (MRG), an independent mining investment partnership and technical services consultancy in the minerals and energy sector in Australia and overseas, to raise A$1.5 million at $0.04 per share.

All funds under this capital raising have been received.

The additional capital in tandem with access to MRG's experienced technical and commercial personnel means that Exterra is well placed to ensure that the Second Fortune Gold Mine progresses smoothly towards production in the near term.
