Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2016) - American CuMo Mining Corporation (TSXV: MLY) (OTCQX:
MLYCF) ("CuMoCo" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its non-brokered private placement of up to
10,000,000 units ("CuMoCo Units") at a price of Cdn$0.10 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the "CuMoCo
Offering"), announced on May 12, 2016 has been closed and oversubscribed. The Board of Directors approved an increase to the size
of the CuMoCo Offering, and the Company has sold a total of 10,241,500 CuMoCo Units for total gross proceeds of $1,024,150. A
portion of the proceeds of the CuMoCo Offering will be applied to reduce the Company's working capital deficit and the remainder
for general corporate purposes.
Each CuMoCo Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") exercisable to
purchase one common share of the Company at a price of Cdn $0.15 per common share until June 9, 2021 subject to an acceleration
provision whereby the term of the Warrants may be accelerated in the event that the Company's common shares trade at or above a
price of Cdn $0.20 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days. In such case, the Company may, at its option, accelerate
the expiry date by delivery of notice to the holder and issuing a press release announcing such acceleration, and, in such case,
the expiry date of the Warrants shall be deemed to be the 20th day following the later of the date on which the acceleration notice
is sent to the holder of the Warrants and the date of issuance of the press release. All securities issued pursuant to the CuMoCo
Offering will be subject to a four month hold period, expiring on October 10, 2016.
Insiders and their associated parties, each being a "related party" of the Company (as such term is defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")), have subscribed for a
total 600,000 CuMoCo Units, as follows: Shaun Dykes (President, CEO and a director of the Company) and his associated parties, for
500,000 CuMoCo Units; and Trevor Burns (Vice-President, Corporate Communications, CFO and a director of the Company) for 100,000
CuMoCo Units. The Company has relied upon the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements
of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 based on the fact that the fair market value of the related
party participation in the CuMoCo Offering will not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization prior to the closing of the
CuMoCo Offering. The Board of Directors approved the participation of insiders in the CuMoCo Offering with the individual insiders
who are directors abstaining from voting on their participation.
The Company also announces that it has granted options to purchase up to 2,400,000 common shares of the Company to directors and
consultants at a price of $0.15 per share exercisable for a period of five years.
In other news, the Company has commenced its summer work on the CuMo Project, conducting various required surveys as part of the
permitting process and is actively working with its new financing partners (see June 6, 2016 Press Release) to secure US$ 25
million as the first major step towards a definitive agreement.
