Starcore International Mines Ltd.: Corporate Update

Having just announced its debt-free status after repaying the outstanding amount of $3.86 million on its credit facility (see news release of September 3, 2013), Starcore International Mines Ltd. (TSX:SAM) (the "Company") reports on the current status of the Company:

--  Cash on Hand: $4.6 million. The company must maintain a minimum of $5.0
    million as operating capital to enable management to meet its corporate
    responsibility of sustaining Starcore's financial strength, and to have
    the ability to respond positively to the operating variables of the
    mining industry. 
    
--  Debt: NIL 
    
--  Exploration: The Company is completing the permitting and bidding
    process for its planned exploration drilling of approximately 5,000
    meters at an estimated cost of $1.2 million. The exploration program
    will be funded internally. 
    
--  Dividends: Although the Company is not currently in a position to
    declare dividends due to the price of gold, declaring dividends
    continues to be a high priority for management and a primary objective.
    "We remain persistent in achieving this objective as we are acutely
    aware that dividends are what our shareholders expect from their
    investment in the Company. I cannot emphasize enough how this remains
    front and center in terms of our focus and what we are striving to
    deliver to our shareholders as soon as possible," said Robert Eadie,
    President and CEO of the Company. 
    
--  Sale of non-core asset (San Pedrito): The Company continues to pursue
    and engage various parties, both foreign and local, who have expressed
    their interest in acquiring the San Pedrito lands. Although no sale is
    imminent, management believes that the San Pedrito lands will be
    recognized by an astute developer and that the eventual sale of the
    asset will occur.
