('Mila' or the 'Company')

 

£696,000 Raised to Support Resource Expansion Programme at Kathleen Valley
Gold Project

 

Mila Resources Plc (LSE:MILA), the post-discovery gold exploration
accelerator, announces that it has raised approximately £696,000 (before
expenses) through a Placing of 23,199,984 New Ordinary Shares of GBP0.01 each
("Placing Shares") at a price of 3 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing").
 Investors in the Placing will also receive one warrant per Placing Share to
subscribe for one new ordinary share at a cost of 4.8p per share ("Investor
Warrants").  The Company has also issued 524,000 broker warrants that are
exercisable at 3p for a period of 3 years ("Broker Warrants").

 

The Investor Warrants and Broker Warrants are conditional on the publication
of a Prospectus by the Company, which it anticipates filing as soon as
practicable, and shareholder approval to increase the Company's share
authorities.

 

Use of Funds

The proceeds of the Placing will be used to continue exploration activity at
the Kathleen Valley Gold Project in Western Australia, following a highly
successful Stage 1 drilling campaign, and further encouraging preliminary
results from Stage 2 drilling.  Drilling to date has focussed on the Coffey
Deposit, which has returned highly promising intersections including 6.6m @
14.86 g/t Au & 21.79 g/t Ag from 209.40m, including 1m @ 27.60 g/t Au
& 47.50 g/t Ag from 211m.

 

In particular, the funds raised will be used to complete a further 2,400m of
drilling (comprising 2,000m reverse circulation and 400m of diamond drilling)
in addition to Environmental and Heritage works, and for general working
capital.  These activities are expected to support the Company's resource
expansion objectives, drilling along strike at depth and also infill drilling,
with the intention of publishing an updated and enlarged JORC Resource
statement following completion of Stage 3 drilling.

 

Mark Stephenson, Executive Chairman of Mila commented: "Following a highly
successful Stage 1 campaign, followed swiftly by a second phase of drilling
which looks set to be equally positive, the Mila team are keen to keep
exploration momentum up at our Kathleen Valley Gold Project.  We are
confident that the Coffey Deposit, where activity is currently focussed, has
all of the geological signatures of a robust gold resource.  As a result, we
are delighted that investors have supported us in this capital raise to keep
up this work programme as we look to reveal the full potential of this
project.

 

"Our exploration team are extremely enthusiastic about our prospects at
Coffey, and indeed, about the wider potential of the Kathleen Valley Gold
Project, and we look forward to providing further results from our Stage 2
campaign and our plans for Stage 3."
