VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - January 15, 2015) - Oracle Mining Corp.

The Special Meeting is to be held in Vancouver on February 6, 2015.

As detailed in the Circular, the Corporation closed a secured convertible loan facility for an aggregate minimum principal amount of US$6.7 million (the "Loan") with Vincere Resource Holdings LLC ("Vincere") on December 17, 2014. 

In connection with the Loan, the Corporation's Arizona subsidiary, Oracle Ridge Mining LLC ("Subco"), issued Vincere a warrant to acquire up to 66.7% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Subco for up to CAD$20,000,000 (the "Warrant"). Only up to CAD$5,000,000 of the Warrant for up to 49% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Subco (the "Partial Warrant") will initially be exercisable. The Partial Warrant will become exercisable upon the earlier of February 15, 2015 and the date of the Special Meeting, while the Warrant will be exercisable upon receipt of shareholder approval, by way of a special resolution, at the Special Meeting. For additional clarity, once shareholder approval is obtained for the Warrant, the Partial Warrant will expire and no longer be exercisable. The Partial Warrant and the Warrant, as applicable, may be exercised in whole or in part, and in one or more closings and will expire on the later of December 17, 2015 and the date all amounts under the Loan have been either repaid or converted in accordance with the terms of the Loan.

Oracle Mining intends to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant or Partial Warrant to fund further development of the Oracle Ridge copper project, located 24 km northeast of Tucson, AZ (the "Oracle Ridge Project"), and potentially construction, should a production decision be made at such time.
