Herencia Receives Tranche One Funding

Highlights:

· GBP£620,000 in Tranche One funding received by Herencia

· Investment priced at 0.62p per share

· 100 million ordinary shares issued to Shining Capital Management

Further to the announcement of 13 November 2013 and 21 November 2013, Herencia Resources plc (AIM:HER), the Chile-focussed mineral exploration and development Company, confirms that following the receipt of £620,000 it had today issued to Shining Capital Management ("Shining"), 100 million new ordinary shares ("Tranche One Shares") in Herencia at a price of 0.62p per share. Shining now holds 100 million ordinary shares representing approximately 4.7% of the total issued shares of the Company.

Application will be made for the Tranche One Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and dealings are expected to commence on 2 December 2013. Following the issue of the Tranche One Shares, the total number of shares in issue will be 2,143,960,817. There are no shares held in treasury, therefore the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 2,143,960,817. This figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Managing Director, Graeme Sloan, commented:

"Another significant milestone achieved. We have already started to work closely with Shining to advance Due Diligence to facilitate the second tranche of their investment.

Both parties strongly believe that there is tremendous value-adding work to be done in the short term, particularly at Picachos.

We see 2014 as being a big year for Herencia. With three projects being actively advanced in Chile we believe the potential for regular and positive news-flow is self-evident."
