MBMI Signs Definitive Agreements With New Partner in Philippines

MBMI RESOURCES INC. ("MBMI") (TSX VENTURE:MBR) is pleased to announce that,
further to its press release dated September 21, 2012 and in accordance with the
Memorandum of Agreement that was signed at that time (the "MOA"), it has entered
into definitive agreements relating to MBMI's Alpha, Bethlehem, and Rio Tuba
properties in the Palawan province of the Philippines (the "Palawan
Properties"). As disclosed in MBMI's press release of October 9, 2012, the
transaction has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.


The Palawan Properties are owned by three development companies (the "DevCos").
MBMI owns a 40% interest in the DevCos and the remaining 60% is owned by three
holding companies (the "HoldingCos"). 


At the time of first announcing the transaction, MBMI owned approximately 33% of
the shares of the HoldingCos ("HoldCo Shares"). MBMI continues to hold an option
to purchase a 40% interest in the HoldingCos (the "Option Shares" and, together
with the HoldCo Shares, the "Total Shares") from another HoldingCo shareholder
pursuant to certain call option contracts (the "Call Option Contracts").
Pursuant to a definitive agreement (the "Omnibus Agreement") dated as of October
30, 2012 between that shareholder, MBMI, and DMCI Mining Corporation ("DMCI"),
and as contemplated in the MOA, MBMI has agreed to assign to DMCI the Call
Option Contracts once certain conditions are satisfied.


As disclosed in the press release dated September 21, 2012, the purchase price
due to MBMI for the Total Shares is US$13,200,000 (the "Purchase Price"). Under
an account agreement between MBMI and DMCI, DMCI will be depositing a portion of
the Purchase Price (the "Available Funds") into an account jointly controlled by
MBMI and DMCI. The Available Funds will be devoted primarily to paying certain
agreed upon expenses, including those relating to the ongoing litigation of
permitting issues faced by MBMI, the HoldingCos and the DevCos in the
Philippines (the "Pending Cases").


There are several conditions that must be met prior to the payment of the
remainder of the Purchase Price, the assignment of the Call Option Contracts,
and certain other matters contemplated by the Omnibus Agreement. Most notably,
the Pending Cases must be resolved by the courts in favour of MBMI, the
HoldingCos and the DevCos (as the case may be) thereby allowing the HoldingCos
and/or the DevCos to resume mining operations at the Palawan Properties, and
such favourable decisions must be final. 


Having executed deeds of assignment in favour of DMCI, MBMI has now transferred
the HoldCo shares. While the MOA contemplated these shares being held by an
escrow agent, the parties determined that a direct transfer was necessary. MBMI
and DMCI have also agreed to arrangements that would allow the HoldCo Shares to
be returned to MBMI if the Pending Cases are not resolved in MBMI's favour. The
Omnibus Agreement also sets a deadline beyond which, should the Pending Cases
remain unresolved, MBMI could insist that the HoldCo Shares be returned to MBMI.



As disclosed in the press release of September 21, 2012, a primary aim of the
transaction is to strengthen MBMI's position in the Pending Cases, which to some
extent turn on the degree of foreign ownership of the HoldingCos and DevCos.
While the execution of the definitive agreements marks an important step forward
in this regard, a number of challenges remain to be overcome before the Palawan
Properties can enter production in earnest. In particular, MBMI expects that it
will be required to secure additional financing for its other operations and
prospects in the Philippines, for its Canadian oversight and management
operations, and to fund the maintenance of MBMI's operations on the Palawan
Properties until the Pending Cases are resolved.
