Entitlement Offer closed, Diamond drilling planned for August

• Entitlement Offer closed with funds to progress Dixon gold prospect

• Government co-funded Diamond drill program to commence in August at Dixon

Australian Mines Limited ("Australian Mines" or "the Company") advises it closed its Entitlement Offer at 5pm (AEST) on Thursday 30 June 2016 in accordance with the extended timeline announced on May 301.

The Entitlement Offer raised $106,258 with the majority of these funds proposed to be allocated to the upcoming Diamond core drill program at the Dixon gold prospect.

This funding will match dollar-for-dollar the co-funding grant of $105,000 awarded to the Company for the program by the Government of Western Australia under the Exploration Incentive Scheme2.

The Diamond drill program is scheduled to commence in the second half of August and will test the interpreted depth extension of the Dixon mineralisation, supported by the assay results from the latest RC drill program3.

Dixon is part of the Doolgunna-Marymia project joint venture with Riedel Resources (ASX: RIE) and is located within 50 kilometres of Northern Star's Plutonic gold mine and hosted by a similar greenstone belt as that containing the Plutonic and Marymia deposits4.
