Afferro Shareholders Vote in Favour of Proposed Acquisition by IMIC

The Board of Afferro Mining Inc. ("Afferro" or the "Company") announces that, at a special meeting (the "Meeting") held on 16 September 2013 in Vancouver, Canada, Afferro shareholders and optionholders (collectively, "Securityholders") voted in favour of the previously announced proposed acquisition by IMIC of 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Afferro pursuant to a Canadian court approved plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement"). The Arrangement resolution was approved by 97.03% of the shareholders of Afferro present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and by 100% of the optionholders of Afferro present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

In addition to the approval of Afferro Securityholders, the Arrangement is subject inter alia to IMIC shareholder approval, final court approval and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. As previously announced, it is expected that the Arrangement will complete by 31 October 2013.

David Netherway, Chairman of Afferro, commented: "We are pleased that Afferro shareholders and optionholders have voted with the Board of Afferro at this special meeting to consider the Company's acquisition by IMIC and the opportunity to further progress Afferro's flagship Nkout project and unlock value through IMIC's ability to continue to de-risk the project and provide an infrastructure solution. We now look forward to the completion of the transaction, which we expect to take place next month."
