Anaconda Mining raises USD $500,000 through prepayment arrangement

TORONTO, Dec. 21, 2015 /CNW/ - Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or "the Company") - (TSX:ANX) is pleased to announce that the Company entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") on December 18, 2015 with Auramet International LLC ("Auramet") through which Auramet has paid USD$500,000 (USD$980 per ounce) (the "Prepayment Amount"), less fees, to Anaconda in exchange for 510 ounces of gold. Anaconda will deliver these ounces to Auramet in 10 deliveries of 51 ounces per month from January to October 2016. The Prepayment Amount was priced based on a spot price on December 18, 2015 of USD$1,067 per ounce. Anaconda also agrees to sell 100% of its production to Auramet for a minimum of one year from the last contractual delivery date (October 2016).

President and CEO, Dustin Angelo, stated, "The Company is very adept at managing its finances and has operated strictly from cash flow for over four years, internally funding capital projects and growing from just the Pine Cove mine to the much larger Point Rousse Project. We believe the Auramet transaction is a favorable financing that will help accelerate our pace of exploration and development. The immediate cash infusion will allow Anaconda to reach the desired work pace and take another significant step towards our goal of adding ten years of production to the project."

The Prepayment Amount will be used to advance exploration on several areas of the Point Rousse Project with emphasis on adding resources to the Stog'er Tight deposit and surrounding area, building upon a recent resource estimate (See Press Release of October 22, 2015) and promising results from a trenching and channel sampling program (See Press Release of December 17, 2015).
