Melior Executes Replacement Loan Agreement

TORONTO, Aug. 10, 2018 - Melior Resources Inc. (TSXV: “MLR”) (“Melior” or the “Company”) today confirms that it has signed and closed a loan agreement with Pala Investments Limited (“Pala”) which replaces the two loan facilities currently in place with Pala (the “Existing Facilities”) with one consolidated facility (the “New Facility”). The new arrangement increases balance sheet flexibility and reduces the cost of debt for the Company as it progresses towards the start of production at the Goondicum Ilmenite Project in November 2018.

Additional details of the proposed New Facility were summarized in the announcement of 24 July 2018.

Melior plans to draw down Tranche One of the New Facility within the next few weeks and fully repay the C&M Loan. Net funds to Melior from this drawdown will be approximately US$5.0 million which will be used to complete the imminent restart and commissioning of Goondicum. The principal balance of loans outstanding to Pala will be US$12.34 million.
