Metminco Completes Small Holdings Buyback

Metminco Limited ("Metminco" or the "Company") (ASX: MNC; AIM: MNC) is pleased to announce that it has completed the buyback of small holdings as announced to the market on 14 July 2017.

All of the small holding shares purchased under the small holding sale facility (Sale Facility) have been placed to clients of Martin Place Securities.

The total number of shares purchased under the Sale Facility was 3,875,424 shares, representing approximately 3% of the issued capital in Metminco. With the purchase of the small holdings the number of Metminco shareholders has reduced by more than 6,900 to 1,294 shareholders.

This buyback has allowed Metminco to significantly reduce the costs associated with maintaining these smaller shareholders and in turn allow the Company to spend these resources on developing the Miraflores Gold Project in Colombia where the Company and its independent consulting engineers are currently finalising the feasibility study which is expected to be released to the market shortly.

This announcement contains inside information as stipulated under Article 7 of the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014.
