CAPITAL RAISING PLANS FINALISED

Manas Resources Limited (ASX: MSR) ("Company") announces finalisation of plans for a $4.7 million capital raising by way of a private placement of 77 million shares to raise approximately $0.54 million, followed by a non-renounceable entitlement issue on a 1 for 1 basis to raise approximately $4.17 million.
The funds raised from the capital raising will be used primarily to complete a number of project activities at the Company's Shambesai Gold Project ("SGP"), which are required as part of the pre-development process and under the Company's Mining Licence agreement with the Kyrgyz Government. The completion of these activities will help to advance the SGP whilst the Company continues with its dual strategy of procuring project finance for the development of the SGP or securing a partial or outright disposal of the Kyrgyz mineral assets, whichever can be completed on a timely basis with the best possible outcome for shareholders.

Capital Raising

The capital raising is comprised of a private placement ("Placement Issue") and a non-renounceable entitlement offer ("Rights Offer"). GMP Securities Australia Pty Limited ("GMP") has been appointed as Lead Manager for the Placement Issue and the Rights Offer, and will also be appointed as Underwriter for the Rights Offer.
77 million new shares have been offered under a completed book-build exercise by GMP at an issue price of $0.007 per share to sophisticated and professional investors to raise approximately $0.54 million in gross proceeds. The Placement Issue will be completed on or before 17 July 2015 under the Company's 15% placement capacity under the ASX Listing Rules.
Approximately 595.8 million new shares will be offered on a 1 for 1 basis under the Rights Offer, also at an issue price of $0.007 per share to raise approximately $4.17 million in gross proceeds. The Rights Offer will be partially underwritten by GMP to the amount of $2.1 million (subject to the Company and GMP executing the underwriting agreement). GMP has also been mandated to assist with the placement of shortfall under the Rights Offer, if any after satisfying its underwriting commitments.
A fee of 6% of the total funds raised under the Placement Issue and the Rights Offer is payable to GMP.
The Company will lodge a prospectus for the Rights Offer with the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission later today.

As noted above, the net proceeds from both Placement Issue and the Rights Issue will be used primarily for pre-development and development expenditure at SGP, including completion of basic engineering works, technical permitting, finalisation of environmental permitting; limited exploration and evaluation expenditure; Manas Group administration, corporate and overhead expenditure and repayment of a short term loan of $200,000.
