ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 19 October 2016

ASX: MBK

RIGHTS ISSUE CLOSES OVERSUBSCRIBED

Metal Bank Limited (ASX: MBK) (Metal Bank) is pleased to announce that its Rights Issue closed oversubscribed raising $1,878,609.90, with eligible shareholders applying for New Shares significantly in excess of the total New Shares offered.

The Company's Chair, Ms Inés Scotland said "the Rights Issue and the Placement that preceded it were both heavily oversubscribed, reflecting confidence in the Company's strategy and the exploration potential of its projects, as well as strong support from a wide range of domestic and international sophisticated investors and continued support from the Company's shareholders."

The $5.378 million raised (before costs) from the Rights Issue and the Placement to institutional and sophisticated investors which completed on 30 September 2016 (Placement), will be used to:

  • Accelerate exploration on the Triumph gold project in SE Queensland where two recent high grade gold-silver discoveries have been made through shallow drilling;

  • Fund ongoing exploration on the Eidsvold gold project in SE Queensland and Business Development looking at other advanced gold opportunities; and

  • Provide general working capital.

The pro-rata non-renounceable one for ten rights issue of fully paid ordinary shares in Metal Bank (New Shares) to existing eligible shareholders at the Offer Price of $0.03 per New Share (Entitlement Offer) sought to raise a total of $1,878,609.90 by the issue of up to 62,620,330 New Shares. The Entitlement Offer closed on Friday, 14 October 2016.

The Company has received applications under the Entitlement Offer for approximately $2.2 million with over-subscriptions to be scaled back in accordance with the allocation policy set out in the Offer Booklet (ASX Release: 4 Oct 2016). Eligible Shareholders who applied for Additional Shares may be allocated a lesser number of Additional Shares than applied for and excess application money will be refunded without interest. Payment of any refund will be made by cheque mailed to the relevant shareholder's address as last recorded in the Company's register of members.

It is the responsibility of applicants under the Entitlement Offer to confirm the number of New Shares allocated to them prior to trading in New Shares. Applicants who sell New Shares before they receive notice of the number of New Shares allocated to them, do so at their own risk.

Subject to finalisation, the New Shares will be issued and allotted on Friday 21 October 2016, with holding statements to be dispatched on that date.
