Richmond Hill, Ontario, May 21, 2013 -- MBMI RESOURCES INC. (the "Company") (TSX-V: MBR) announces the first closing of its private placement (the "Private Placement") of convertible debentures ("Debentures"). As previously announced and further to a conditional approval granted on May 10, 2013 by the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company is seeking to raise up to $500,000 through the private placement of Debentures. A total of $350,000 has now been raised through this first closing.

The Debentures issued will accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum and will mature on May 17, 2014, one year after issuance. The principal amount of the Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holders into units ("Units") at a deemed price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one-half of one warrant (a "Warrant"), each whole Warrant being exercisable for one common share at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of one year after the Debenture conversion. A total of 7,000,000 common shares and 3,500,000 Warrants would therefore be issued if all the Debentures issued in this closing were converted.

For additional information regarding the use of proceeds from this Private Placement, please refer to the Company's press release of April 22, 2013.

This Private Placement is subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Debentures issued in this closing (as well as the common shares resulting from conversion) will be subject to a 4 month hold period expiring September 22, 2013.

Prior to the completion of this closing, Gwynneth Gold owned and controlled 6,833,581 Common Shares, or 18.8% of the common shares then outstanding, and warrants to purchase 800,000 common shares (which, if exercised, would have caused Gwynneth Gold to hold 20.6% of the Company's common shares then outstanding).
