Sydney, Mar 27, 2018 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Mustang Resources Limited (googlechartASX:MUS) (googlechartGGPLF:OTCMKTS) ('Mustang' or the 'Company') announces that its non-renounceable pro rata rights issue ("Entitlement Offer") of one (1) new share ("New Share") offered for every four (4) fully paid ordinary shares ("Shares") held by eligible shareholders at an issue price of $0.023 per New Share closed on Thursday, 22 March 2018 at 5.00pm WST.

Results of the Offer

The Company received 849 applications under the Entitlement Offer from eligible shareholders for a total of 106,811,504 New Shares. The total subscription amount received by the Company from the Entitlement Offer (before associated costs) was $2,456,666 made up of $1,696,675 of entitlements plus $759,991 of shortfall taken up by eligible shareholders.

Managing Director, Dr. Bernard Olivier said: "The Company and its management team is highly encouraged by the strong support shown by our shareholders in the entitlement offer and we are confident in placing the shortfall quickly. Exploration and development work is currently underway on both our projects with multiple catalysts and milestones in the coming months. In the near term, we will continue exploration and market development work on our Montepuez Ruby Project with test sales through our Thailand office in step with fieldwork and bulk sampling. We are encouraged by the continued growth of the ruby market and Mustang's enviable position as the only publicly listed revenue-generating ruby supplier and believe that there is substantial value to be realised for our shareholders.

Furthermore, recent drill results on the Caula Graphite & Vanadium project have prompted the Board to approve its fast-tracked development with first revenues from Stage 1 trial mining of high grade graphite and vanadium targeted for H1-2019. This will place Mustang in a unique position amongst its peers in both the graphite and vanadium sectors as the Company leverages off its in-house technical and operational abilities to become a leader in the fast growing battery commodity markets."
