Rambler Metals and Mining Announces Agreement With Tinma International Ltd. to Subscribe for Ordinary Shares

18.05.2012  |  Marketwired
LONDON, ENGLAND and BAIE VERTE, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR -- (Marketwire - May 18, 2012) - Rambler Metals and Mining plc (TSX VENTURE:RAB) (AIM:RMM) ('Rambler' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that it has entered into a conditional subscription agreement (the 'Subscription Agreement') with Tinma International Ltd. ('Tinma'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of a China-based strategic investor and current holder of 15,618,980 ordinary shares representing approximately 11.55% of the issued share capital of the Company, to subscribe for 7,118,012 ordinary shares (the 'Subscription Shares') by way of a non-brokered private placement at a subscription price of Can$0.58 per ordinary share (approximately £0.36 per ordinary share) (the 'Subscription') for gross proceeds to the Company of Can$4.13 million (approximately £2.56 million).

Closing is conditional upon, among other things, admission of the Subscription Shares to trading on the AIM market of London Stock Exchange plc ('AIM') and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the 'TSXV') of the listing of the Subscription Shares. Additionally, closing is conditional upon the due convening of a general meeting of shareholders on 28 June 2012 and the passing of shareholder resolutions granting authority to the directors of the Company to allot the Subscription Shares and disapply pre-emption rights in respect of such allotment. A circular containing a notice of the general meeting will be despatched to shareholders in due course.

Provided the conditions for closing are met, the placement will result in Tinma's total shareholdings in Rambler increasing to 22,736,992, representing approximately 16 per cent of Rambler's issued share capital on a post-closing basis. Proceeds from the placement will be used for general working capital purposes and to repay a portion of the Company's outstanding debt.

The Subscription Agreement amends the subscription agreement between the Company and Tinma dated 6 March 2012 in order to facilitate the holding of the general meeting. Upon closing of the Subscription, Tinma will be entitled to nominate a second member of the board of the Company for such time as Tinma controls (directly or indirectly) at least 15 per cent of the Company's issued share capital.

Pursuant to Policy 5.9 of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ('MI 61-101') adopted thereby, the Subscription is a "related party transaction" since Tinma controls more than 10 percent of Rambler's issued share capital. The Company will be exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 in connection with the Subscription in reliance on section 5.5(a) and will be exempt from obtaining minority shareholder approval in connection with the Subscription in reliance on section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, since neither the fair market value of the Subscription Shares nor the aggregate consideration to be paid by Tinma exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company as at the date hereof.

The Subscription by Tinma is also considered a Related Party Transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies.

The Company's Directors consider, having consulted with the Company's Nominated Adviser, that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

George Ogilvie, President and CEO of Rambler, commented:

"We are pleased with the support that Tinma has and will provide in these markets. They have been actively buying our stock since November 2011 and have provided great support during this transitional period from mine developer to mine producer. We appreciate their vote of confidence in the operation and management teams and look forward to furthering our relationship through a successful placement."

ABOUT RAMBLER METALS AND MINING

Rambler Metals and Mining is a Junior Mining Company that has 100% ownership of the Ming Copper-Gold Mine in Baie Verte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. As a producing gold and copper miner, our objective is to become a mid-tier mining company by continuing the development of the Ming Mine, discovering new deposits and through mergers and acquisitions.

The initial six years of the Ming Mine project is based on the underground mining of massive sulphides with a mineable reserve estimate of 1.498 million ore tonnes grading 1.62% copper, 2.40 g/t gold and 10.90 g/t silver (24,252 tonnes of copper, 115,549 ounces of gold and 525,139 ounces of silver of contained metal). All massive sulphide zones remain open both up and down plunge with the current exploration program focused on extending the known mineralization for inclusion in the resource/ reserve estimate.

In addition to the outlined reserve estimate there is a sizeable footwall deposit beneath the massive sulphide horizon that has been outlined with an indicated resource grade of 18.306k tonnes grading 1.43% copper (261,258 tonnes of contained copper at a 1.00% copper cut-off grade). This zone forms the basis of the preliminary economic assessment, compiled by independent consultants, which envisions the Ming Mine transitioning itself into a bulk tonnage mining operation. For further information on the Ming Mine project, please refer to the Company's NI 43-101 compliant technical reports, available under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

Over the coming months and years, as the Company optimizes the Ming Mine project into cash positive position, future expansion into the footwall zone will be formalized with the goal of maximizing returns for shareholders and increasing the life of mine.

Larry Pilgrim, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this release and has reviewed and approved it accordingly. Mr. Pilgrim is an independent consultant contracted by Rambler Metals and Mining plc.

All tonnes reported are dry metric tonnes unless otherwise indicated.
