Macarthur Minerals Reminds Shareholders Rights Offer Expires Tomorrow 5:00 pm Toronto Time

Macarthur Minerals Limited ( TSXV:MMS) (the “Company” or “Macarthur Minerals”) would like to remind its rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) shareholders of record that the period to exercise the Rights expires at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 12, 2017 (the “Expiry Time”).

Six (6) Rights will entitle the holder to subscribe for 1 unit at a subscription price of C$0.06 per unit (“Unit”). Each whole Unit consists of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share for C$0.20 for a term of 12 months or as accelerated by the Company.

Cameron McCall, Executive Chairman of Macarthur Minerals commented:

“The Rights Offering was made so as to give an opportunity for all shareholders and we already have a number of the Company’s major shareholders who have indicated that they will participate. All directors who have Rights have participated and we welcome all shareholders to participate in the Rights Offering.”

It is important to note that many broker dealers may have different cut off times prior to the official subscription period deadline. As such, Macarthur Minerals recommends that all record date rights holders contact their broker or financial advisor about the Rights Offering to ensure that they can participate by the broker dealer’s cut off time for subscriptions.

Shareholders who fully exercise their rights will be entitled to subscribe for additional units, if available as a result of unexercised rights prior to the Expiry Time, subject to certain limitations set out in Macarthur Mineral’s rights offering circular. All units offered under the Rights Offering that are not otherwise purchased by the Company’s shareholders, will be subscribed for by the underwriter, Orbit Drilling Pty Ltd, up to the full amount of the Rights Offering, of approximately $1.9 million.

Further details on the Rights Offering, including eligibility requirements for shareholders to participate and the procedures to be followed by shareholders in order to subscribe for Rights, are included in a rights offering circular (the “Rights Offering Circular”) and rights offering notice (the “Rights Offering Notice”) which were filed with securities regulatory authorities in each province and territory of Canada on October 23, 2017. A copy of the Rights Offering Circular and Rights Offering Notice is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com or the Company’s website here.
