cnw




TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Miocene Metals Limited (TSX-V: MII) (the "Company" or "Miocene Metals") today announced it has closed on the
first tranche of its previously announced hard unit offering (the
"Offering") raising gross proceeds of $140,000 (see press release dated
January 18, 2013 for terms of this private placement). Proceeds raised
from this financing will be used towards funding the general working
capital needs of the Company. Miocene Metals intends on effecting
another closing in early March of this year.


Commenting on the closing today, Alar Soever, the Company's executive
Chairman and CEO stated: "The closing of this type of financing in
today's market is an appreciable event and demonstrates the continued
support of investors in Miocene Metals' on a go forward basis."


The Company also finalized definitive documentation for the extension of
the line of credit provided by its major shareholder, Wallbridge Mining
Company Limited (the terms of which extension were previously disclosed
in the Company's January 18, 2013 press release). This documentation
has been filed on the Company's SEDAR corporate profile page.


The Offering is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.


The Company continues in its efforts to secure major partner funding for
its exploration efforts on its British Columbia properties. Large
mineralized porphyry copper-gold alteration systems have been
identified on both the Mackenzie and Rogers Creek properties, and these
properties will be the focus of future exploration programs.


About Miocene Metals Limited


Miocene Metals is focused on the exploration of three porphyry
copper-gold-molybdenum properties in south-western British Columbia
that occur within the Tertiary-aged Cascade Magmatic Arc. The Cascade
Arc shares many geological characteristics with Tertiary-age porphyry
belts that stretch the length of Chile and Peru in South America and
hosts some of the world's largest porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum
deposits. The Cascade Magmatic Arc hosts a number of significant
porphyry Cu-Au and Mo deposits in Washington State, and Alaska (Glacier
Peak and Margaret, and Quartz Hill respectively) but remains largely
unexplored in British Columbia.


Neither the TSXV nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is
defined in the policies of the TSXV) accepts responsibility for the
