Callinan Royalties Agrees to $1 Million Investment into Golden Dory and Acquisition of Option to Acquire Royalty Interests on the Iron Horse Property

TSXV: CAA

VANCOUVER, Nov. 8, 2012 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corporation ("Callinan") has signed an agreement with Golden Dory Resources Corp. ("Golden Dory") whereby Callinan has agreed to invest $1 million by way of private placement into Golden Dory and, concurrent with closing the financing, Callinan will acquire two royalty options from Golden Dory on the Iron Horse Property owned by the Golden Dory-Metals Creek Joint Venture. Golden Dory is the project operator and can earn up to 70% interest in the Iron Horse Property located in western Labrador, Canada where intersections of iron formation have been reported by Golden Dory from recent drilling programs. Golden Dory has agreed to spend $1 million in exploration on the Iron Horse Property before the end of 2013.

The first option will allow Callinan to purchase a 1% royalty for $1 million.  A second option will allow Callinan to purchase up to an additional 1.1% royalty at a price to be calculated by an independent third party based on information from the final bankable feasibility study used for mine construction. The royalty options will be exercisable at any time up to 180 days following 180 days of continuous commercial production.

Under Golden Dory's private placement, Callinan will acquire 14,285,714 units of Golden Dory at a price of $0.07 per unit.  Each unit under the private placement will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle Callinan to purchase one additional common share of Golden Dory at an exercise price of $0.10 for a period of two years following the closing of the private placement.  However, Golden Dory will not issue, during the term of the warrants, shares upon exercise of the warrants held by Callinan that will result in Callinan holding more than 19% of the issued and outstanding shares of Golden Dory. Closing of the private placement and grant of royalty options is expected to occur on or about November 12, 2012.

Callinan is pleased to enter this mutually beneficial agreement with Golden Dory, which has demonstrated exploration success on an early stage property. Callinan will become a significant shareholder in Golden Dory while holding royalty options in Canada's premier iron ore mining region.
