Jupiter Mines Limited ('Jupiter') (ASX.JMS) is pleased to announce the demerger and initial public offering ('IPO') of its Central Yilgarn Iron Ore assets ('CYIP') through the newly created company, Juno Minerals Limited ('Juno').

Jupiter and Juno have today lodged a Notice of General Meeting ('Meeting') and Prospectus, respectively.

Juno intends to issue 120,000,000 shares to Jupiter, in exchange for the CYIP assets and $5 million in seed capital, provided by Jupiter. Jupiter will then distribute these shares in-specie to its shareholders. The Meeting is being convened to approve this distribution.

Further, a public offer will be made of up to 80,000,000 Juno shares to raise an amount of up to $20 million (before costs).

The priority of the Juno board and management will be to assess fast-track development of the Mount Mason DSO Hematite Project. Alongside that, the Board will consider options to increase its DSO resource base. Options to crystallise value of the long life Mount Ida Magnetite Project will also be evaluated in due course.

'Given the continued strengthening of the iron ore markets, and the continued focus by steel mills to lock higher grade ore as feed to reduce pollution, the IPO and strategy of Juno is well timed', said Priyank Thapliyal, Jupiter Chief Executive Officer and Juno Chairman. 'As Jupiter shareholders, both the Chairman and I intend to support the Juno Offer by applying for New Shares, and I would recommend that all other Jupiter Shareholders consider doing the same'.
