LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 05/11/16 -- Anglo Pacific Group PLC ("Anglo Pacific" or the "Company") (LSE: APF)
(TSX: APY) is pleased to announce that Berkeley Energia Limited ("Berkeley") has entered into a US$10 million financing package
with Resource Capital Funds, a significant Berkeley shareholder. The financing comprises the issue of US$5 million of Berkeley
ordinary shares at a premium to the 10-day and 30-day VWAP, and US$5 million for a 0.375% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty over
the Salamanca project.
In December 2009, Anglo Pacific acquired a 1% NSR royalty applicable to production from Berkeley's Spanish and Portuguese assets
for A$4.1 million which continues to be its carrying value. Anglo Pacific holds 30.3 million Berkeley ordinary shares.
Julian Treger, Chief Executive Officer of Anglo Pacific, commented:
"We are encouraged by this financing event, which implies a ~US$13 million valuation of Anglo Pacific's existing 1% NSR
royalty, a multiple of our asset value, and also minimises shareholder dilution. We look forward to Berkeley undertaking initial
infrastructure development, and ultimately to first production at Salamanca."
