Mandalay Resources Corporation completes 5.875% debt financing

Financing Size Increased to US$60 Million

TORONTO, May 14, 2014 /CNW/ - Mandalay Resources Corporation ("Mandalay" or the "Company") (TSX:MND) is pleased to announce that it has completed the 5.875% debt financing that was described in the Company's press releases of April 23, 2014 and April 29, 2014.

The financing proceeds were raised by way of a concurrent offering of senior exchangeable bonds (the "Bonds") issued by Gold Exchangeable Limited (the "Issuer"), an unaffiliated special purpose vehicle incorporated in Jersey. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Mandalay Resources Finance Limited, borrowed the proceeds of the Bond offering from the Issuer under the terms of a loan agreement and related funding agreement which together mirror the principal terms of the Bonds.

The Bond offering was completed immediately prior to the closing of the financing. As a result of additional demand for the Bonds following pricing, the Bond offering raised US$60 million, a US$10 million increase over the amount that was announced at pricing on April 29, 2014. Accordingly, the size of Mandalay's financing also increased to US$60 million. Mandalay intends to use the net proceeds from the financing for general corporate purposes.

Bradford Mills, CEO and Director of Mandalay, commented "Mandalay is pleased to have completed this financing and to have successfully increased the amount of funding between pricing and closing. These funds give Mandalay flexibility to continue to pursue compelling growth opportunities while also funding capital requirements associated with our existing projects."

In connection with the completion of the financing, Mandalay has cancelled its secured revolving corporate loan facility with Bank of Montreal. No amounts were drawn under the loan facility at the time of cancellation.

KNG Securities LLP acted as Lead Manager and sole Bookrunner in respect of the offering of the Bonds.
