Oracle Mining Corp. Files Final Prospectus

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Nov. 9, 2012) - Oracle Mining Corp. ("Oracle Mining" or the "Corporation") (TSX:OMN)(OTCQX:OMCCF)(FRANKFURT:OMC) is pleased to announce that it has filed a final short form prospectus (the "Prospectus") with the securities regulatory authorities in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, in connection with a "best efforts" agency marketed offering of up to 23,529,411 units ("Units") of the Corporation (the "Offering") for gross proceeds of up to $20 million.

Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") of the Corporation and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant") at a price of $0.85 per Unit (the "Offering Price"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire a Common Share at a price of $1.02 for a period of 24 months from the date of issue. The Units are being offered in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario pursuant to the Prospectus, as well as in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "U.S. Securities Act").

The Offering is being led by Paradigm Capital Inc. and a syndicate of agents including Clarus Securities Inc., Haywood Securities Inc., Roth Capital Partners, LLC, National Bank Financial Inc. and Toll Cross Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents"). The Agents have been granted an over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option"), exercisable in whole or in part, to acquire up to an additional 15% of the Units sold in the Offering for a period of 30 days following the closing of the Offering. As previously announced by the Corporation, pursuant to an investment agreement dated November 2, 2012 (the "Investment Agreement") among the Corporation, Oracle Ridge Mining, LLC and MF2 Investment Company 1 LP, Bermuda LP ("MF2 Investment"), an affiliate of RK Mine Finance (Master) Fund II LP, MF2 Investment has agreed to be the lead order under the Offering. Based on the Offering Price, MF2 Investment may subscribe for up to approximately 8.9 million Units under the Offering (up to approximately 9.4 million Units if Offering is fully subscribed and the Over-Allotment Option is exercised by the Agents in full) (the "Equity Investment").

Oracle Mining expects to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $20 million pursuant to the Offering assuming that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised, and up to $23 million if the Over-Allotment Option is fully exercised. Oracle Mining intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering towards activities related to the continued development of its Oracle Ridge Copper Mine located in Arizona, USA, including its drilling program, project development studies and permitting, and for working capital and general corporate purposes, as more particularly set forth in the Prospectus.

The Offering is expected to close on or about November 19, 2012, and is subject to customary closing conditions. The Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has conditionally approved the listing of the Common Shares. Pursuant to Section 604(d) of the TSX Company Manual, in connection with the Investment Agreement and because MF2 Investment may acquire in excess of twenty five (25%) per cent of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares (MF2 Investment may acquire up to 14,129,545, representing approximately thirty six (36%) per cent of the currently issued and outstanding Common Shares assuming that the Offering is fully subscribed and the Over-Allotment Option is exercised by the Agents in full), the Corporation has obtained written evidence from holders of more than 50% of the Common Shares that they are in favour of the Offering, including the Equity Investment. It is expected that MF2 Investment will be an insider of the Corporation on closing of the Offering.

A copy of the Prospectus is available under the Corporation's profile at www.sedar.com.

This media release does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to sell any securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to "U.S. Persons" unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
