Monument Sets the Record Straight on Magnetite Transaction

VANCOUVER, Feb. 4, 2014 /CNW/ - Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) ("Monument" or the "Company") today cautioned its shareholders not to be misled by GoldMet's misinformation.

Monument believes shareholders could benefit significantly from its proposed magnetite operations on the Mengapur Project and that GoldMet's criticism of this investment is unfounded and misleading.  "We need to set the record straight" commented George Brazier, Monument's Chairman.  Monument provided the following information to correct the misinformation released by GoldMet:

• As described in Monument's news releases of December 2, 2011 and January 17, 2013, the Company acquired a total 100% of the Mengapur Project; however a 100% of oxide magnetite material contained in the soils was retained by Malaco, the vendor of the project.
  
  
• In the past two years since Monument's acquisition of the Mengapur Project, third parties have been extracting, processing and selling oxide magnetite contained in top soils on Area A and Area B of the property and sharing profits with Malaco.
  
  
• Monument has been working towards a profit-sharing arrangement with respect to oxide magnetite material in top soils on Area C of the Mengapur Project, which both parties agreed in its original definitive agreement to negotiate in good faith.
  
  
• Monument and Malaco entered into a binding Oxide Magnetite Stockpile Purchase and Profit-Sharing Agreement on Area C in January 2014, and the shares to be issued under this agreement are not entitled to be voted at the Company's upcoming AGM.

In February 2013, Monument entered into a settlement agreement that contained certain restrictions on the issuance of shares by Monument.  Monument limited the number of shares it has issued in compliance with the settlement agreement, yet GoldMet continues to complain.

On January 27, 2014, Monument announced that it had filed a notice of civil claim against GoldMet and Mr. Molyviatis in order to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement.  The Supreme Court of British Columbia has indicated that it is not able to hold a summary trial to hear the case, largely because of technical objections raised by GoldMet preventing a hearing on the merits in advance of Monument's AGM.

Monument urges shareholders to exercise their franchise and vote only the Management proxy in support of Monument's incumbent eight-person board, which has been nominated for re-election. This Board intends to continue to grow the Company's profitable mines in Malaysia and to advance its projects there and elsewhere, creating sustainable and growing value for all shareholders.   Don't let GoldMet and the dissidents seize your company for their own short-term gain.
