Convertible loan

Trading update

Aurum Mining plc (AIM: AUR), the Spanish focused gold and tungsten explorer, announces that it has raised GBP100,000 through a convertible loan (the "Loan"). The Loan is unsecured, accrues no interest and is not repayable. The Loan will be converted at the price at which equity is next issued. If it is so converted, the loan providers are also entitled to a warrant for every share they receive. Each warrant would be exercisable at 2 pence per share.

The Loan will be used to provide on-going working capital for the Company.

David Williams, Chairman of Aurum, is providing GBP50,000 of the convertible loan finance. His participation in the Loan constitutes a related party transaction in accordance with AIM Rule 13. The Independent Directors, being the Directors other than David Williams, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser WH Ireland, consider the terms of the loan transaction with David Williams to be fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned. Mr. Williams has a beneficial interest of 29.14% of the current issued share capital of the Company.

There was no significant change in the Company's trading in the second half of the year ended 31 March 2016. Results for the year are expected to be announced in the second half of August.
