Agnico Eagle and Sentient Complete Early Exercise of Pershimco Warrants

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT
AUTHORIZED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR
DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. 


Pershimco Resources Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Pershimco") (TSX
VENTURE:PRO)(FRANKFURT:BIZ) announces that two of its important investors,
Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico Eagle") and The Sentient Group ("Sentient")
have exercised all of their 23,827,005 warrants (the "Warrants") issued in the
previously announced private placement (see Pershimco announcement dated January
28, 2014), which closed on January 28, 2014, at a revised exercise price of
$0.40 each, for gross proceeds of CDN $9,530,802. 


Although the market conditions remain difficult, this financing entails no
additional dilution to the Corporation's shares outstanding. Furthermore, the
proceeds of the exercise will enable the Corporation to, among other things,
accelerate its regional exploration activities, pursue the drilling campaign on
its Cerro Quema Project in Panama, and complete the Environmental and Social
Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the project. This ESIA is a key component of the
permitting process to allow for the larger footprint needed for the planned
increased plant capacity to 10,000 tons per day. A portion of the proceeds will
also be available for general corporate purposes.


Both the amendment of the exercise price of the Warrants and their exercise have
been conditionally approved by the TSX-V. All Warrant holders (the sole warrants
of the Corporation currently issued and outstanding) have agreed to the
amendments described herein and have fully exercised their Warrants. None of the
Warrants were exercised before the date hereof. 


The proposed amendment constitutes a "related party transaction" within the
meaning of Regulation 61-101 respecting Protection of Minority Security Holders
in Special Transactions ("Regulation 61-101") and Policy 5.9 Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions of the TSX-V. The proposed
amendment includes the terms of a security of the Corporation beneficially owned
by the related party or over which it has control or direction.


Agnico Eagle and Sentient are "related parties" within the meaning of Regulation
61-101, as Agnico Eagle held 9.97% of the Common Shares (17.80% on a diluted
basis after the exercise of all outstanding warrants) and Sentient held 16.90%
of the Common Shares (16.90% on a diluted basis after the exercise of all
outstanding warrants). Following the exercise of the Warrants, the Corporation
has 222,496,984 Common Shares issued and outstanding. 


However, management of the Corporation determined that the exemptions from the
formal valuation and minority approval requirements set forth respectively in
sections 5.5 a), b) and 5.7 1) a) of Regulation 61-101, are available. For the
purposes of Regulation 61-101, it is noted that the Corporation is not listed on
a specified stock exchange and fair market value of the Warrants and the fair
market value of the consideration paid for these Warrants do not exceed 25% of
the market capitalization of the Corporation. Due to the need for funding in
support of the Corporation's plan to rapidly proceed with the activities
described above, a material change report relating to a transaction with a
related party has been filed by the Corporation less than 21 days before the
scheduled date for the amendment of the Warrants.  


The securities referred to in this news release have not been registered under
the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), as amended, and may not be
offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit
of, U.S. persons absent registration under the Act or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Act.
