Sydney, Feb 22, 2018 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Further to an announcement on 8 January 2018 of a proposed entitlement share issue, Mustang Resources (googlechartASX:MUS) (googlechartGGPLF:OTCMKTS) is pleased to announce that it now proposes revised terms to raise up to $4,435,742 by a one-for-four non-renounceable entitlement issue at 2.3 cents per share.

The offer price represents a 23% discount to the 15-day VWAP and a 11.5% discount to the last closing price.

The proceeds will be used primarily to fund bulk sampling and exploration at the Company's Montepuez Ruby Project and exploration at its Caula Graphite Project (see Table 1), both of which are in northern Mozambique.

Mustang's largest shareholder (with 7.74% of issued capital) and operator of its Mozambican ruby and graphite projects, Regius Resources Group Ltd, has confirmed it will take up A$200,000 of its entitlement in the raising (representing 8,695,652 shares, being a majority of its entitlement). Non-Executive Chairman Ian C Daymond has also confirmed his intention to take up his full entitlement.

The record date for the offer is Tuesday, 27 February 2018.

Mustang Managing Director Dr. Bernard Olivier said: "This entitlement offer provides shareholders with a further opportunity to participate in Mustang's growth.

"We believe we are well on track to establishing Montepuez as a world-class ruby project.

"The ongoing ruby bulk sampling and exploration campaign in coming months will be funded predominantly by this raising as we continue to refine our ruby marketing strategy with increasing market intelligence.

"Equivalent funds will be dedicated to xploration at the high-grade Caula Graphite Project aimed at increasing the JORC Resource and fast-tracking feasibility studies as part of our strategy to supply the global lithium battery market."

As the entitlement issue is non-renounceable, the rights cannot be transferred or sold. Up to approximately 192,858,347 fully paid ordinary shares may be issued pursuant to the entitlement issue. Shares issued under the entitlement issue will rank equally with fully paid ordinary shares currently on issue.

The entitlement issue is not underwritten and Directors retain the right to place any shortfall on the same terms within 3 months after the closing date.

Full details of the offer can be found in the accompanying Offer Document to be dispatched to eligible shareholders on the record date.

The timetable of the offer is set out in Table 2 below.
