Auric Mining Financial Guarantees to Increase to $60 Million for Property Development, Financing and Acquisition

WILMINGTON, Del., June 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Auric Mining Company (PINKSHEETS: AUMY) announced today that it had secured an additional asset backed $40,000,000 Financial Guarantee commitment thereby increasing its total commitment to $60 million for ongoing development.  While currently two separate commitments, negotiations are ongoing as to combining these commitments into a single Financial Guaranty at a preferred rate.

The financing increase permits the Company to expand the scope of the Company's recently announced acquisitions and partnership initiatives.

The Company recently announced it had completed the first phase of its due diligence on 7 properties and that it will give priority to the recommissioning of previously producing gold properties due to their relatively low cap-ex and high production probability. Three properties currently under due diligence meet this criteria and will proceed to the investigative level, while four options will be dropped. 

The Company has put in place the required financial and human resources and management to leverage the significant inherent resource value at these near term production scenarios, each with significant undervalued growth potential.  The Company expects to soon announce completion of specific acquisitions and/or partnerships that are currently in progress.
