(TSX VENTURE:ARA) ("Anconia" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the closing of an additional tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement offering of units ("Units") and flow-through units ("Flow-Through Units") (the "Offering") (see the Company's news release dated August 20, 2013). On closing, Anconia issued 950,000 Units at $0.10 per Unit and 285,000 Flow-Through Units at $0.12 per Flow-Through Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $129,200. To date, Anconia has raised gross proceeds of approximately $1.76 million under the Offering.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a "Unit Warrant"). Each whole Unit Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.14 per share for a period of 18 months following the date of issuance.

Each whole FT Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.16 per share for a period of 18 months following the date of issuance.

The aggregate proceeds raised under the Offering will be used, among other things, to conduct exploration on the Company's properties and for working capital purposes. Proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Units will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses on the Company's properties.

In connection with the closing of this latest tranche of the Offering, Anconia has paid to certain finders ("Finders") an aggregate cash commission of $7,152 and issued to the Finders warrants ("Finders' Warrants") to acquire up to an aggregate of 68,100 common shares of Anconia at $0.10 per share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance.
