Sydney, Australia, Sept.13, 2017(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heron Resources Limited (ASX:HRR TSX:HER, "Heron" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed a final short form prospectus (the "Final Prospectus") with the Ontario Securities Commission to qualify 39,285,715 ordinary shares of the Company ("Underlying Shares") issuable upon the conversion of 39,285,715 subscription receipts of the Company ("Subscription Receipts") issued by way of private placement on August 1, 2017 (the "Offering").A copy of the Final Prospectus is available under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

The Subscription Receipts were issued pursuant to a subscription receipt agreement dated August 1, 2017 (the "Subscription Receipt Agreement") between the Company, Paradigm Capital Inc. (the "Agent"), as agent for the Offering, and Capital Transfer Agency Inc. (the "Subscription Receipt Agent"), as subscription receipt agent. Pursuant to the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the gross proceeds from the Offering were placed in escrow pending delivery of a notice that the escrow release conditions set out in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (the "Escrow Release Conditions") have been met. The Escrow Release Conditions comprise all of the following conditions precedent: (i) the holders of ordinary shares of the Company (the "Shares") shall have passed a resolution to approve the issuance of the Underlying Shares; (ii) the Company advising that all conditions precedent to completion of the Cornerstone Equity Financing (as described in the Company's press release dated June 30, 2017 (the "Financing Announcement")) have been satisfied or waived; (iii) receipt of governmental and internal approvals required by investors to complete the Cornerstone Equity Financing, including, if applicable, Australian Foreign Investment Review Board approvals; (iv) the receipt of all required approvals including, without limitation, the conditional approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") for the financings as described in the Financing Announcement, if applicable, and the conditional approval of the TSX and ASX for the listing of the Underlying Shares; and (v) the Company and the Agent shall have delivered a joint notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent confirming that the conditions set forth in (i) through (iv) have been met or waived. If the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on or before September 30, 2017 (the "Escrow Release Deadline"), then the escrowed funds will be released to the Company.

The Company will use such funds for the construction and ramp-up of its 100% owned Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project, located in New South Wales, Australia. If either (i) the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied by such time, or (ii) Heron advises the Agent or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy any of the Escrow Release Conditions, then at the earlier of such time, the Subscription Receipts will be deemed to be cancelled and holders of Subscription Receipts will receive a cash amount equal to the offering price of the Subscription Receipts plus the amount of any interest earned on the escrowed funds.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, since the Escrow Release Conditions were satisfied before the Escrow Release Deadline, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted into one Underlying Share, without any further payment or action on the part of the holder and subject to adjustment in certain circumstances at 12:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on September 18, 2017, being the third business day after the issuance of a final receipt by the Ontario Securities Commission for the Final Prospectus qualifying the issuance of the Underlying Shares.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Subscription Receipts or any Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Subscription Receipts or any Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Subscription Receipts and any Shares being offered will not be, and have not been, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. person.
