TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 16, 2016) - Morumbi Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MOC)
("Morumbi" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the company's previous
news releases concerning its acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the El Mochito zinc mine in Honduras ("El Mochito") from
affiliates of Nyrstar NV ("Nyrstar"), the Honduran Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Competition has provided the
necessary approval of the joint application by the Company and Nyrstar for the completion of the Acquisition. Receipt of this

Commenting on the milestone, Chris Buncic, President and CEO, stated, "We have worked exceptionally well with Nyrstar and
the Honduran anti-trust officials to expedite this process and are very pleased to be approaching the completion of the
acquisition of El Mochito within the anticipated timeline. We have been shown strong support from the community, members of
government, and other stakeholders as we prepare to assume ownership of the mine." He continued, "We are very
excited with the El Mochito opportunity and strongly believe we can bring the mine back to previous strong production and cash
flow generation levels. We are eager to start this process."
