Callinan Royalties to Recommence Litigation and File Amended Claim Against Hudbay Seeking Additional Damages

TSXV: CAA

VANCOUVER, Sept. 27, 2013 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corp. ("Callinan") will recommence litigation and file an amended statement of claim in the Manitoba court of Queen's Bench in its law suit against Hudson Bay Mining & Smelting Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay"). Please see Callinan's press release dated August 26, 2013 for a background summary and Callinan's website for further details.

The amended statement of claim will seek additional damages arising from the improper destruction of documents and financial records by Hudbay which effectively prohibited Callinan from conducting an independent audit of Hudbay's records as was agreed with Hudbay.

The destruction of documents by Hudbay was carried out in violation of the original net profits interest and royalty agreement and also constituted a violation of Hudbay's obligations under the rules of court to preserve and produce to Callinan all relevant documents. The destruction of documents took place not only before Callinan commenced the law suit in 2007 but also subsequent to the commencement of the law suit.

Following the filing of the amended statement of claim additional updates on the litigation process will be disclosed from time to time as required by regulation or law and/or until the Board of Directors of Callinan otherwise deems that disclosure is appropriate.

On Behalf of the Board of Directors,

Roland Butler

Roland Butler, CEO
