It is intended that the funds will be provided equally by the Shareholders ( US$150,000 each).

Commenting on the financing Herencia Chairman, Mr Peter Reeve said, " Herencia is very pleased for the ongoing support of its key shareholders and their commitment to the Herencia story through all the companies recent restructuring. This commitment is testament to the strength of the core resources story within Herencia which centres around the very strong potential of its lightly explored copper tenements".

"The copper market remains resurgent and this provides Herencia and its shareholders great exposure to this market particularly with the impending drilling program", Mr Reeve said.
