Herencia Resources plc

("Herencia" or "the Company")

Short Term Loan

The Company confirms today that it has received a $50,000 loan from Lind Partners, a substantial shareholder of the Company (the "Loan").

The Loan is interest free and repayable after 6 months and, subject to shareholder approval, will be convertible into ordinary shares at £0.0001. The directors believe that this will give the Company sufficient funds to continue trading until 7 March 2016. The directors intend that this time will be spent negotiating with Next and Herencia's substantial shareholders to agree a way forward for the Company. In addition, Lind Partners have indicated that they would be prepared to put in a further loan up to $200,000 by 7 March 2016, subject to further negotiations. At this stage there can be no guarantee that any furthers loan will be made or that the Company will be able to continue trading after 7 March 2016. Further announcements will be made in due course.

As Lind Partners is a substantial shareholder, the Loan is a Related Party Transaction under AIM Rule 13 to the AIM Rules for Companies, and the directors of the Company, having consulted with its Nominated Adviser, WH Ireland Limited, consider that the terms of the Loan are fair and reasonable insofar as its shareholders are concerned.
