Sendero Mining Corp. Announces Shares for Debt Agreements

THUNDER BAY, Jul 17, 2013 - Sendero Mining Corp. ("Sendero" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SM) is pleased to announce that it entered into shares for debt agreements totalling $115,000.00 with arm's length third parties.

A total of 920,000 common shares with a deemed issuance price of $0.125 for aggregate proceeds of $115,000.00 will be issued to unrelated parties for the settlement of payments owing under the Las Leddas option agreement, and a related finder's fee agreement, as disclosed in a news release by the Company on February 17, 2012. Given the size and scope of the required investment, management of Sendero believes the project would be better advanced by a larger resource company and has therefore decided to terminate its Las Leddas option. The Company has decided to settle a portion of this payment in common shares to preserve a portion of its existing cash on hand for ongoing working capital requirements.

The issuance of the common shares will not result in the creation of a new Control Person (as such term is defined in the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual), will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of the settlement and will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

On January 24th 2013, the Company announced that it had obtained an unsecured loan from two arm's length parties in the aggregate amount of US$500,000. The Company is pleased to announce that it has repaid both parties in full.
