GoldMet B.V. Announces Agreed Terms to Support Development Plans of Monument Mining Limited

VANCOUVER, Feb. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - GoldMet B.V. ("GoldMet") is pleased to announce that following productive discussions with management representatives from Monument Mining Limited ("Monument") it will give its full support to Monument management and the current board of directors at the upcoming Annual General Meeting of shareholders.

GoldMet and its related parties have agreed to deliver a voting trust over their shares in favour of Monument's management in respect of shareholders' meeting for the next 12 months.  GoldMet also agrees that the planned development of Monument's Mengapur Project is in the best interests of Monument's shareholders, and looks forward to working with management of Monument to ensure the continued development of Monument's assets is in the best interests of all shareholders.

With GoldMet's support, Monument has also agreed to reduce the CAD$80 million private placement financing announced on December 17, 2012 such that Monument will not issue more than 52,000,000 additional common shares pursuant to that financing. Monument has also agreed not to pursue any new private placement financings during the next twelve months without the consent of GoldMet. GoldMet will support Monument's plans to pursue other options to satisfy its capital expenditures requirements to advance the phased development of Monument's 100 percent owned Mengapur polymetallic project, including seeking a listing on the Bursa Malaysia Berhad, Malaysia's stock exchange.

Monument has also agreed that GoldMet may name a candidate for the board of directors of Monument, subject to approval of the nominee by Monument.  GoldMet has chosen Jean Edgar Trentinian, who is already a director of Monument, as its nominee director until further notice.
