| Minco Mining & Metals Corporation (TSX: MMM) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed a non-brokered Private Placement of up to 2,500,000 Units (the "Units") at a price of $1.15 per Unit. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Corporation (the "Share") and one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrant"). The Warrant is exercisable for a period of two years from the date the financing is closed. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a purchase price of $1.50 per Share during the first year and $2.00 during the second year from the Closing Date. If at any time after the expiry of the four month hold period, the published closing trade price of the Company's common shares on the Exchange exceeds an average price of $2.15 for 20 days in year-one (1), then the exercise period of the Warrants will be reduced to a period of 30 days from the date the Company provides written notice (the "Accelerated Expiry Notice") to the holder of the Warrants of such early expiry. In year-two the Accelerated Expiry Price shall be an average price of $2.50 for 20 days. The Company has agreed to pay a finders fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds, or Cdn.$172,500.
