White Cliff Minerals Limited (ASX:WCN) ("White Cliff" or "the Company") is pleased to announce a non-renounceable pro rata offer of one New Share (1) for every two (2) White Cliff Shares held at an issue price of $0.002 per New Share to raise up to approximately $1,879,477 (Rights Offer).

The Rights Offer is underwritten to the amount of $1 million by Sydney-based Gleneagle Securities Nominees Pty Ltd ("Gleneagle") and will be available to White Cliff Shareholders registered at 5.00pm WST on 9 August 2017.

In addition, the Company has entered into a "best endeavours" placement mandate for Gleneagle to raise up to a further $1 million by the placement of up to 500,000,000 additional New Shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.002 per New Share (Placement).

The funds raised by the Rights Offer and proposed Placement will be used primarily for:

- drilling of the Company's flagship Aucu gold project in the Kyrgyz Republic and associated exploration costs;

- drilling of selected gold targets within the Company's Western Australian gold project tenement package;

- general working capital; and

- pursuing a dual listing of the Company's ordinary shares on the UK AIM market.

All New Shares issued will rank equally with existing Shares on issue and the Company will apply for official quotation of the New Shares. A prospectus in relation to the Rights Offer will be lodged with ASIC shortly. Option holders are not entitled to participate in the Rights Offer without first exercising their options to be registered as a Shareholder in Australia or New Zealand, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the options.

White Cliff Managing Director Todd Hibberd said: "The recent drop in the Company's share price has been disappointing for all shareholders and has occurred despite our 2016 drill program almost doubling the Aucu project gold resource to 302,000 ounces at 5.2g/t. By undertaking a rights issue, all existing shareholders will be given the opportunity to acquire New Shares at the same price that the Company is seeking to raise additional funds from new professional investors. If the maximum funds are raised from both the rights issue and placement, the Company will be securely funded through to 2018 such that its primary focus can be on adding resource ounces at Aucu."
