Swingplane Ventures, Inc. (OTCBB: SWVI) (the "Company") wishes to advise that the Company has renegotiated its assignment agreement in regard to the acquisition of certain mining concessions in Chile.

Under the terms of the original assignment agreement entered into on October 15, 2012, the Company was assigned the rights to an option agreement held by Mid Americas Corp. ("Mid Americas") for among other terms, the issuance of a total of 300,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company, of which 10,000,000 shares were to be included in a registration statement to be filed by the Company prior to closing.

Under the terms of the newly negotiated agreement, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mid Americas in exchange for the issuance of a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company. The preferred stock will be convertible into shares of common stock of the Company on the basis of 50 shares of common stock for each 1 share of preferred stock. Further, the preferred stock will carry voting rights of 100 shares per each share of preferred stock. All other terms of the original acquisition agreement are to be included in this acquisition agreement. The only terms that have been amended are the acquisition of Mid Americas rather than the assignment of the option agreement, the issuance of shares as defined above and the requirement to register 10,000,000 shares is eliminated.

The 300,000,000 shares issued to Mid Americas in trust will be returned to treasury concurrent with the closing of this transaction.

Mid Americas has the rights to acquire 75% of certain mining concessions in Chile.

Under the terms of the amended acquisition agreement, Mid Americas is required to provide audited financial statements to close the acquisition which are anticipated to be provided on or before January 31, 2013 at which time the Company will file a Super 8-K and close the transaction.

The closing of this transaction may effect a change in control of the Company.
