Metminco Limited ("Metminco" or the "Company") (ASX: MNC; AIM: MNC) is pleased to present the activity report for the quarter ending 30 June 2018.

OPERATIONS

Quinchia Gold Project, Colombia

Tesorito

The Tesorito prospect occurs 800m south east of the Company's Miraflores deposit (0.88Moz gold Resource) and approximately 3km south east of the Company's Dosquebradas deposit (0.92Moz gold Resource estimated under NI 43-101 - see announcement dated 7 March 2016). It also located approximately 2km north of the large undrilled Chuscal porphyry target.

The Company's 1,500m diamond drilling program was designed to confirm and expand the gold mineral system intersected in drilling by a previous operator (refer announcement 5 June 2018). This included hole TS_DH_02 which reported 384m @ 1.1g/t Au from surface to end-of-hole (Table 1, refer ASX announcement 7 March 2016). The program will also test a previously undrilled geophysical anomaly located approximately 300m to the northwest of TS_DH_02 (Figure 2).

Although early in its exploration history, Metminco believes the mineralisation at Tesorito represents the gold-rich cap of a deeper base-metal rich porphyry system. This is supported by the phyllic alteration and increasing base-metal content and igneous activity with depth seen in several holes.

The intensity of hydrothermal alteration seen at Tesorito together with prolific gold mineralisation already recognised in the Quinchia district and elsewhere in the Cauca belt suggests this to be major mineralising system which offers great potential for exploration success.

Results of the drilling program to date

The program is comprised of four moderate-depth diamond drill holes (Figures 2, 3 and 4) with results summarised in Table 1 below and also announced to ASX on 31 July 2018.

Table 1: Summary assay results from all drill holes to date at Tesorito.

From the results received to date from Tesorito and the previous historical drilling:

-- all 5 holes drilled into have returned gold mineralisation from a multi-phase porphyritic intrusive complex

-- the gold mineralisation is extensive in area, and occupies at least 400m x 180m and is open laterally to the north-northeast and east-southeast

   --     higher grade gold areas of over 1 g/t Au occur within the broader mineralisation envelope of approximately 0.5 g/t Au 

-- depth of porphyry mineralisation has been seen up to 380m below surface (TS_DH_02) and the presence of garnets in previous and present drill core are indicative of a deep vertical plumbing system

-- intense phyllic alteration mapped by the significant IP anomaly located to the west of the known Tesorito porphyry and seen in the surface mapping and sampling and the drill core suggests a major hydrothermal system exists approximately 2-300m to the north west of the locus of the Tesorito prospect

-- phyllic alteration is generally indicative of the upper and lateral zones of a porphyry system. There is a general increased presence of A-, B-, and M-type veining down-hole in holes drilled towards the IP anomaly. Furthermore, initial logging indicates a general increase in the presence of potassic alteration in the same direction along with an increasing presence of base metals with depth. These factors are all pointing to the central zone of the Tesorito porphyry system being located primarily beneath the IP anomaly with porphyry-associated mineralisation extending laterally upwards from it.

-- the localised controls on higher order gold mineralisation traversed by TS_DH_02 and TS_DH_04 require further investigation to determine their distinct characteristics, and their likelihood of being repeated within the porphyry complex.

Next Steps

   --     receipt of assays from the final 2 diamond holes and remainder of TS_DH_05 

-- undertake a detailed logging program on the recently acquired drill core supported by mineralogical analysis to determine vectors for focusing next stage exploration drilling.

Chuscal

Chuscal, the second significant gold porphyry target within the Quinchia Gold Portfolio, features a large, undrilled gold geochemical anomaly over an area with artisanal mining which has highly encouraging channel sample grades.

During the quarter discussions progressed with AngloGold Ashanti to formalise a farm-in/joint venture agreement over the Project. The discussions were ongoing at the end of the reporting period.

Both Tesorito and Chuscal are located within 2km from the proposed mine site at the Miraflores Gold Project (see below).

Miraflores Gold Project

As previously reported, the Company submitted the Plan of Work ("PTO") to the Colombian Mining Agency for mine development approval for the Miraflores Gold Project (refer Figure 2) in January 2018. Colombian regulations require both the PTO and Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") approvals prior to commencement of operations. As at the date of this report, approval of the PTO is awaited.

The critical path for the development of the project remains the completion of the EIA, including the validation of the impacts on the local communities and the gaining of the social licence for the project. Final, seasonal water monitoring was completed during the quarter and will inform the EIA submission, expected in 2019.

Chilean assets

No exploration activity was undertaken on the Chilean assets during the quarter.

At Mollacas, discussions with adjacent landowners concerning sale of the Company's water rights was suspended pending clarification of the owners' position. A data-room has been prepared for the Mollacas Project and discussions continued with interested parties.

CORPORATE

Financing

During the quarter a total of 766,268,633 fully paid ordinary shares were issued at AUD$0.008 per share to raise a total of approximately AUD$6.2 million before costs in an entitlement offer and subsequent placement, and share payments in lieu of fees owed. A total of 264,398,812 options were also issued, exercisable at AUD$0.011 on or before 1 June 2020. The capital raisings have enabled the Company to repay debts and assist in funding the exploration programs planned for Tesorito and Chuscal. Details of the financings are presented below:

Entitlement Offer

The Company undertook a fully underwritten renounceable entitlement offer to eligible shareholders during the period (refer prospectus ("Prospectus") lodged 23 March 2018). The terms of the Entitlement Offer were the issue of 9.5 New Shares for every 2 Shares held by eligible shareholders at a price of AUD$0.008 per New Share to raise up to AUD $5,558,653 (being an issue of up to 694,831,892 new shares), together with 1 free attaching option (exercisable at AUD$0.011 during the Exercise Period) for every 3 New Shares subscribed for.

The proceeds of the 9.5 for 2 renounceable Entitlement Offer, including the shortfall offer to eligible shareholders who accepted their full entitlements, were approximately AUD$4.03 million before costs. This represented approximately 72% take-up by value from eligible shareholders.

On 24 April 2018, the Company issued 503,269,743 new shares and 167,756,720 free attaching options exercisable at AUD$0.011 on or before 1 June 2020 ("Attaching Options") to eligible shareholders who participated in the Entitlement Offer.
