Avala Resources and Dunav Resources Enter into an Agreement to Merge

LONGUEUIL, Aug. 18, 2014 - Avala Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AVZ) ("Avala") and Dunav Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DNV) ("Dunav") are pleased to announce that they have entered into an arrangement agreement on August 15, 2014 (the "Agreement") in respect of the previously announced business combination of the two companies (for background to the Agreement, see joint news release issued on July 28, 2014). Under the terms of the Agreement, Avala agreed to issue to Dunav shareholders 1.0457 common shares for every one (1) outstanding common share of Dunav (the "Exchange Ratio") held, pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement"). All outstanding stock options and share purchase warrants of Dunav will be exchanged for options and warrants of Avala in an amount and at exercise prices adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio. This will result in Avala issuing 183,331,540 new common shares, 63,768,411 warrants and 8,292,401 stock options, for a combined total of 437,823,763 Avala common shares outstanding and 129,165,812 shares reserved for issuance following completion of the Arrangement.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to certain conditions including (i) the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, (ii) the approval of the Arrangement by not less than two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the votes cast by the shareholders of Dunav, as well as 'majority of the minority' approval by Dunav and Avala shareholders at their respective meetings in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"), and (iii) approval by all applicable regulatory authorities, including the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

Avala and Dunav are non arm's length parties to one another by virtue of the fact that they have four common directors and overlapping management and the same controlling shareholder, Dundee Precious Metals Inc., which owns 53.1% of Avala's outstanding common shares and 45.5% of Dunav's outstanding common shares. As a result, the transaction is a business combination with a related party under MI 61-101 and Policy 5.9 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual.

The special committees of Avala and Dunav, each composed of independent directors, have reviewed the proposed business combination with advice from independent financial advisors and legal counsel. After careful consideration, having received a fairness opinion from their respective financial advisors, legal advice and such other matters as it considered relevant, each special committee has unanimously approved the Arrangement and the Agreement.

The boards of directors of Avala and Dunav, on recommendation of their respective special committees composed of independent directors, have each approved the Agreement and will recommend to their respective shareholders to vote in favour of the Arrangement. Avala and Dunav intend to hold their annual and special meetings on September 30, 2014 and, subject to shareholder approval and final order of the British Columbia Supreme Court, expect to complete the Arrangement on or about October 2, 2014.

Avala and Dunav believe that the merger of the two companies will bring a number of benefits, including a reduction in management and administrative costs, and will bring together a robust portfolio of projects that includes Avala's Timok Gold Project and Dunav's Tulare Copper-Gold Porphyry Project along with several early stage prospects all located within Serbia, a mining friendly jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure and a skilled workforce.

As previously announced, Avala intends to consolidate, by the end of October 2014, its common shares on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for up to every ten (10) pre-consolidation common shares, to provide Avala with greater flexibility in pursuing its plans to advance its mineral exploration projects, including its ability to obtain additional financing and potentially acquire new mineral projects.

A copy of the Arrangement Agreement will be filed on SEDAR and will be available for viewing under the Avala and Dunav websites. Full details regarding the Arrangement will be provided in a special management information circular of each company to be filed with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities and mailed to shareholders in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
