Macarthur Minerals Announces TSX Is Conducting a Continued Listing Review of Its Common Shares

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Feb. 3, 2015) - Macarthur Minerals Limited (TSX:MMS) (OTCQX:MMSDF) (the "Company" or "Macarthur Minerals") announces that the Company has received notice from the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") that it is reviewing the common shares of the Company with respect to meeting the continued listing requirements of TSX. TSX has indicated that the review process is being conducted as a result of the decline in the market value of the Company's common shares pursuant to Part VII of the TSX Company Manual.

The Company is being reviewed under TSX's Remedial Review Process and has been granted 120 days to comply with all requirements for continued listing. If Macarthur Minerals cannot demonstrate that it meets all TSX requirements set out in Part VII of the TSX Company Manual on or before June 3, 2015, the Company's securities will be delisted from TSX 30 calendar days from such date.

The Company intends to enter into discussions with TSX, and to potentially apply for listing of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) (if the TSX's listing requirements are unable to be met) to ensure, to the extent possible, continued and seamless trading liquidity for shareholders.
