Starcore Announces Approval of Normal Course Issuer Bid

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Aug. 26, 2014) - Further to its press release of August 20, 2014, Starcore International Mines Ltd. ("Starcore" or the "Company") (TSX:SAM) is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") to commence the previously announced normal course issuer bid to purchase common shares of the Company. The Company has allocated up to $1,000,000 for purchases of its common stock to be made on the TSX at the market price at the time of acquisition. Based on current market prices, the Company may purchase up to 6,666,666 common shares of Starcore, representing approximately 4.7 % of the public float of the Company, or 4.6% of the 143,515,465 issued and outstanding shares of the Company as at August 22, 2014.

The Company's normal course issuer bid will commence on August 29, 2014 and terminate on August 28, 2015 or earlier if the number of shares sought in the issuer bid has been obtained. The Company reserves the right to terminate the bid earlier if it feels it is appropriate to do so.

The Company believes that its common shares are undervalued at current market prices based on its current earnings and future prospects and that the repurchase of common shares at current market prices is an appropriate use of corporate funds.

All shares will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and alternative Canadian trading platforms, and payment for the shares will be in accordance with TSX policies. The price paid for the shares will be the market price at the time of purchase. Purchasing may be suspended at any time. No purchases will be made other than by means of open market transactions during the term of the normal course issuer bid. The maximum number of shares that may be purchased on a daily basis is 38,125 shares, except where purchases are made in accordance with "block purchases" exemptions under applicable TSX policies. The shares purchased by the Company will be cancelled. The Company has not made any purchases of its shares in the last 12 months.
