Morumbi Resources Provides Progress Update on Acquisition of El Mochito

TORONTO, Nov. 16, 2016 - Morumbi Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MOC) ("Morumbi" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's September 22, 2016 announcement of its agreement (the "Agreement") with certain affiliates of Nyrstar NV (collectively "Nyrstar") to purchase 100% of Nyrstar's indirect subsidiary American Pacific Honduras SA de CV ("AMPAC") and its flagship asset, the producing El Mochito zinc mine (collectively "El Mochito") in Honduras (the "Transaction"), the Company has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the Transaction and has submitted its regulatory application to the Honduran Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Competition for approval.

The Company was pleased with the productive nature of the TSXV review and anticipates being able to satisfy the standard remaining conditions concurrently with the completion of the Transaction. On the Honduran side, ongoing discussions with Nyrstar and Honduran government officials to date have been positive and Morumbi management is optimistic that approval can be obtained ahead of the statutory waiting period outlined in Honduran law and is therefore targeting an approval by the end of December 2016. Receipt of this approval is a key escrow release condition for the subscription receipt financing the Company carried out in connection with the Transaction, which closed on October 13, 2016.

Other outstanding conditions of the Transaction continue to move forward as well, with negotiations of the Transition Services Agreement and Off-take Agreement between the Company and Nyrstar nearing completion.

Commenting on the approval process, Chris Buncic President and CEO, stated, "Morumbi is on pace to complete the acquisition of the El Mochito mine within the timeline set out previously. We are keen to complete the acquisition and take over operations at the mine in order to begin executing on our strategy to bring about sustainable operational improvements. We are confident of increasing efficiency at the mine while continuing to be a meaningful contributor to the Honduran economy, its export sector and the local community."
