Macarthur Minerals Advises Results of TSX Listing Review

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 3, 2015) -

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Macarthur Minerals Ltd. (TSX:MMS)(OTCQX:MMSDF) (the "Company" or "Macarthur Minerals") announces that the Company will list its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") to ensure continued and seamless trading liquidity for shareholders, following advice by the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") that the Company's common shares will be delisted from the TSX at the close of business on July 3, 2015.

As previously reported on February 3, 2015, the TSX had initiated a review process into the Company's continued listing on the TSX 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 (market value of listed securities of $3.0 million for 30 previous consecutive trading days (S.711)). As Macarthur Minerals could not demonstrate that it met those requirements as 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 on July 3, 2015.
