Mindoro Advises Further Economic Information for Agata DSO Project

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Sep 24, 2013) - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MIO)(ASX:MDO)(FRANKFURT:WKN 906167) today provided additional economic information impacting Mindoro's interest in the Agata Project Direct Shipping Operation ("DSO") located in Northern Mindanao, the Philippines.

On September 10, 2013, Mindoro and its joint venture partner, TVI Pacific Inc., released an NI 43-101 compliant Feasibility Study (FS) indicating robust economics for DSO of the high-iron laterite resources at the Agata Project (NI 43-101 Technical Report is available at www.sedar.com and at www.mindoro.com). At production, it is expected that TVI will have 60% interest in the project and Mindoro will have the remaining 40%.

The following table, showing 100% of free cash flows from DSO operation, is taken from page 171 of the FS:

* Mindoro's interest is further discussed below. In addition, this Total Free Cash Flow information does not include the expenditures by Mindoro noted below.

Mindoro has the additional economic benefit of being carried to production by TVI, who is operator of the project. In the FS and the above table, capital expenditure of US$12.5M was deducted in the cash flow calculations. TVI is required to fund the total US$12.5M capital expenditure in order to earn its 60% interest; therefore, in calculating the value of Mindoro's 40% interest, this capital expenditure deduction would be excluded.

On September 23, 2013, Mindoro announced it had renegotiated an option to purchase 25% interest in the Agata Project from its Philippine partner. As partial consideration for that purchase, Mindoro is obligated to pay the Philippine partner an initial US$200,000 and a total of US$4M over four years to acquire its 25% interest in the Agata Project (including any future nickel processing operation), bringing Mindoro's interest to 40% at production; the FS study and the above table do not include these expenditures.

As described in Mindoro's March 14, 2007, press release and as part of a buyout agreement with former joint venture partner Panoro Minerals Ltd., upon shipment of an aggregate one million tonnes of DSO product, Mindoro will pay Panoro CDN$500,000 cash plus an additional CDN$500,000 cash on the first anniversary of the shipment. The FS study and the above table do not include these expenditures.

"The DSO feasibility study is a major step towards Mindoro's objective of transitioning to a revenue generating company," said Tony Climie, CEO of Mindoro. "In these challenging global economic times, we believe the Agata Project represents a unique and exciting opportunity, with potential for not only near-term revenue from the high-iron DSO, but also for a much larger nickel processing project and we look forward to the results of the Agata Nickel Processing Feasibility Study, expected in early 2014."

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Tony Climie, CEO
