MCM Capital One Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZGN.P) ("MCM"), a capital pool company as
defined under Policy 2.4 ("Policy 2.4") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the
"Exchange"), is pleased to provide this Press Release to its shareholders and
members of the public to update shareholders and others with respect to its
proposed "Qualifying Transaction", as defined by Policy 2.4, with Siguiri Gold
Mining Corp. ("Siguiri") as previously announced on July 18, 2012, in respect to
a proposed amalgamation (the "Transaction") of the parties. It is anticipated
that the issuer resulting from the Transaction (the "Resulting Issuer") will be
known as "Siguiri Gold Mining Corp." or such other similar name, subject to
Exchange approval.


About Siguiri Gold Mining Corp.

Siguiri is a private company incorporated on February 10, 2011 under the laws of
the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Siguiri Mining Guinea Ltd. ("Siguiri
Mining"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Siguiri, has entered into an option
agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Samaranta Mining Corporation ("SMC"), an
Exchange listed issuer, to acquire all of the shares (the "Optioned Shares") of
a private Guinea company, which owns 80% of the shares of another private Guinea
company that owns a 100% interest in 14,000 Ha of exploration concessions (the
"Property") in highly prospective areas in Guinea next to producing mines. The
Property is approximately 2 1/2 hours by car South West of Bamako Mali in West
Africa and is located in the Birimian Greenstone Belt. The Property has several
potential drill targets with similar geological, alteration and mineralization
characteristics as other Birimian Greenstone Belt gold projects. The Property is
located within approximately 10km of the AngloGold Ashanti Ltd., Siguiri Gold
Mine in Guinea.


Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Siguiri Mining has the exclusive right and
option to purchase the Optioned Shares from SMC in exchange for up to $1,125,000
(payable by Siguiri), up to 1,500,000 shares of Siguiri, $2,500,000 in
exploration expenses on the Property (payable by Siguiri), and a 2% net smelter
royalty on the Property, to be completed in four tranches. The first tranche was
completed on October 7, 2011 and Siguiri Mining was issued 3.5% of the Optioned
Shares in exchange for $125,000 and 100,000 shares of Siguiri. The second, third
and fourth tranches are scheduled to close annually on October 7, 2012, 2013 and
2014.


Summary of the Transaction

Under the terms of a letter of intent, dated July 23, 2012, between MCM and
Siguiri (the "LOI"), each of MCM and Siguiri have agreed to diligently and in
good faith negotiate a definitive agreement (the "Amalgamation Agreement") that
will effect the Transaction in compliance with Policy 2.4 and use their
reasonable commercial efforts to execute the same on or before August 30, 2012.
Each of MCM and Siguiri have agreed that the Amalgamation Agreement will
incorporate the principal terms of the Transaction contemplated in the LOI and
contain customary provisions typical for a transaction of this type and, when
executed by the MCM and Siguiri, will supersede the terms of the LOI.


The amalgamation will be completed by way of Amalgamation Agreement entered into
between MCM and Siguiri. Under the Amalgamation Agreement, holders of common
shares and other securities (options and warrants) of MCM will receive
securities of the Resulting Issuer on the basis of one for one, and the holders
of common shares and other securities (options and warrants) of Siguiri will
receive securities of the Resulting Issuer on the basis of 1.193 for one.


The deemed transaction price for the Transaction is $0.25 per share of MCM. The
24,399,573 shares (the "Consideration Shares") to be issued to the shareholders
of Siguiri represent a deemed purchase price of $6,099,893.


After completion of the Transaction and assuming the completion of the Private
Placement (on the terms described below) it is anticipated that an aggregate of
37,749,573 common shares of the Resulting Issuer will be issued and outstanding.
The shareholders of MCM will hold approximately 8.87% of the shares of the
Resulting Issuer, shareholders of Siguiri will hold approximately 64.64% of the
shares of the Resulting Issuer and the subscribers in the Private Placement will
hold approximately 26.49% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer.


The Transaction constitutes an arm's length transaction according to the
policies of the Exchange.


Shareholder Approval

As a matter of corporate law, approval of Siguiri shareholders may be required
for the Transaction. However, as the Transaction does not constitute a non-arm's
length transaction, shareholder approval of the Transaction by the shareholders
of MCM is not required under Exchange policies.


Closing Date

In accordance with the LOI, the closing date of the Transaction will be as soon
as practical following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent of
the Amalgamation Agreement, or such other date as mutually agreed to by MCM and
Siguiri, but in any event no later than December 31, 2012.


Financial Information

On the basis of the unaudited financial statements for the period ended May 31,
2012, Siguiri had total assets of $383,318.65, liabilities of $10,590.55,
shareholders' equity of $372,728.10, and working capital of $17,489.89.


The Private Placement

In connection with the Transaction, it is anticipated that MCM and Siguiri will
complete a concurrent private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to ten
million (10,000,000) units (each, a "Unit") at a price per Unit of $0.25 for
gross proceeds of up to $2,500,000 into either Siguiri or the Resulting Issuer.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (a "Common Share") in the
capital of the Resulting Issuer and one-half of one Common Share purchase
warrant (a "Warrant"). Each whole Warrant shall be exercisable for one Common
Share at an exercise price of $0.40 for a period of two years from the listing
of the Resulting Issuer on the Exchange. The Private Placement will remain
subject to the approval of the Exchange.


The Resulting Issuer intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement to
fund the costs associated with completing the Transaction, to fund the business
plan of the Resulting Issuer and to fund the general working capital expenses of
the Resulting Issuer.


Sponsorship of Qualifying Transaction

MCM intends to make application to Exchange that the Qualifying Transaction
should be exempt from sponsorship requirements pursuant to Exchange Policy 2.2
as a result of its completion of private placement of $500,000 or more as
referred to above.


Loan to Siguiri

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, MCM will, as soon as practicable following the
date of the LOI, advance to Siguiri $25,000 as an unsecured loan (the "Unsecured
Loan") to be applied by Siguiri to preserve its assets. Subject to Exchange
approval, as soon as possible after the date of this Press Release, MCM will
advance to Siguiri $75,000 as a secured loan (the "Secured Loan") to be used by
Siguiri to pay for: (a) geological work, and (b) general and administrative
costs. The Secured Loan will be secured by a general security agreement executed
by Siguiri in favour of MCM constituting a secured charge on all the personal
property of Siguiri.

As set out in the LOI, the closing of the Transaction will be subject to without
limitation, the following mutual conditions precedent:

of Siguiri and MCM;

(4) the receipt of all necessary regulatory, corporate and third party
approvals, including the approval of the Exchange, and compliance with all
applicable regulatory requirements and conditions in connection with the
Transaction;

condition or the assets of each of MCM and Siguiri to the Amalgamation
Agreement; 


(8) the delivery of standard completion documentation including, but no limited
to, legal opinions, officers' certificates and certificates of good standing;
and 


(9) other conditions precedent customary for a transaction such as the Transaction.

Pursuant to the LOI, the conditions precedent in favour of MCM may be waived in
whole or in part by MCM and the conditions precedent in favour of Siguiri may be
waived in whole or in part by Siguiri.
