Mukuba Announces Mailing of Meeting Materials and Details of Proposed Share Consolidation

TORONTO, Aug. 7, 2012 /CNW/ - Mukuba Resources Limited (TSXV: MKU) ("Mukuba" or the "Company") announced today that it has received confirmation of the mailing to shareholders of its management information circular for a special meeting (the "Meeting") to consider the previously announced consolidation of the Company's outstanding common shares (the "Common Shares") at a ratio of four pre-consolidation Common Shares for one post-consolidation Common Share (the "Consolidation") and the compensation payment to be paid to the directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Meeting is scheduled to occur on August 30, 2012 with a record date of July 30, 2012 (the "Record Date").

As at the Record Date, the authorized share capital of the Company consisted of an unlimited number of Common Shares of which 77,279,639 Common Shares were outstanding. After the Consolidation, the authorized share capital will continue to consist of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value, of which approximately 19,319,909 Common Shares in the capital of the Company would be issued and outstanding, provided that the Consolidation is completed on the basis of one (1) new for four (4) old Common Shares without par value, as currently proposed.

No fractional Common Shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. In the event that a given shareholder's holdings would result in the issuance of fractional Common Shares, the holdings of the shareholder would be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Common Shares.

The Company's name and stock trading symbol will not change in connection with the Consolidation.

Management is proposing the Consolidation in order to facilitate raising additional capital. The Company has announced a private placement of units, consisting of Common Shares and Common Share purchase warrants that is expected to close on or about September 12, 2012 (the "Private Placement"). The Private Placement is conditional on the approval and implementation of the Consolidation.

Completion of the Consolidation and the payment to the directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company are each subject to the receipt of all required regulatory and shareholder approvals, including acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
