Cline Mining Corp. : April 11, 2013 Cline Mining Proceeds With Marret Plan

Cline is currently proceeding with the alternative restructuring transaction (the "Marret Plan") that was previously negotiated with Marret Asset Management Inc., on behalf of certain funds advised by it, as first described in Cline's press release of December 27, 2012. Pursuant to the Marret Plan, Cline expects to file a preliminary prospectus with respect to a rights offering as soon as possible.

Cline has metallurgical coal property interests in British Columbia and in Colorado, U.S.A. including the 100% interest in the New Elk coking coal mine. Cline is focused on the exploration and development of metallurgical steel making coals in Canada and the U.S., and on its iron ore property in Madagascar and its Cline Lake gold property in northern Ontario, Canada.
