Anthem United Inc. Increases Private Placement Financing

VANCOUVER, Jan 8, 2016 - Anthem United Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AFY) ("Anthem" or the "Company") announces that, further to its news release dated December 10, 2015, the Company has increased its non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") financing to CDN$1.0 million from the previously announced CDN$500,000.

The Private Placement consists of the issuance of units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of CDN$0.24 per Unit with each Unit consisting of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole warrant being a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of CDN$0.35 per Common Share for a period of five years following the date of the closing of the Private Placement.

As previously reported on December 16, 2015, the Company has closed a first tranche of the Private Placement for aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$466,000.

The Company expects to close two additional tranches of the Private Placement by the end of January 2016 to satisfy strong investor demand. Anthem reserves the right to further increase the size of the Private Placement, subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.


About Anthem United Inc.

Anthem (www.anthemu.com) is focused on building a precious metals producing company through the acquisition and development of silver and gold mineral assets. The Company is currently advancing the operation of the 350 tonne per day Koricancha Mill in Peru, in which it owns a 75% interest. The Company's joint venture partner, EMC Green Group S.A., owns the remaining 25%, subject to an 8% cost of sales royalty payable to Anthem, and is the operator of the Koricancha Mill. The Koricancha Mill produces gold for its own account by processing gold-bearing material purchased from small scale and artisanal miners in Peru.

In May 2015, Anthem and EMC announced the acquisition of a second 350 tonne per day gold mill and associated mineral claims, collectively the "Chaparra Assets" (see news release dated May 28, 2015). The acquisition of the Chaparra Assets is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016, subject to financing.
