Anaconda Mining Inc. (TSX:ANX) ("Anaconda" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce that, on September 9, 2013, it received the US$1 million payment from
Hierro Tal Tal S.A. ("Tal Tal") relating to the commercial production milestone
set forth in the stock purchase agreement dated December 7, 2011 ("SPA"),
between Inversiones La Veta SpA ("La Veta"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Anaconda, and Tal Tal. 


President and CEO of Anaconda, Dustin Angelo, stated, "This is an important
milestone for Anaconda. Although it is deemed a non-core asset, our investment
in Chile will continue to generate cash for the Company. We expect ongoing
royalties of approximately $125,000 per quarter and we will get another US$2
million payment in less than two years from now. In addition, we can still earn
up to US$4 million in lump sum payments based on the price at which the iron ore
is sold for certain volumes of production."


La Veta will also begin to receive a gross sales royalty of 0.80% on a calendar
quarterly basis on the sale of iron ore concentrate from the first producing
iron ore property. The first shipment that departed in early August contained
163,582 dry metric tonnes of iron ore concentrate grading 63.5% iron (certified
by SGS). The total estimated royalty payment for this shipment is expected to be
approximately US$125,000 and will be payable on or before October 15, 2013.


Overview of lump sum payments from the transaction:

Anaconda's wholly owned subsidiary, La Veta, sold its shares representing a 50%
ownership stake in Minera Hierro San Gabriel S.A. ("MHSG") and a 20% ownership
stake in Inversiones Hierro Antofagasta S.A. ("IHA") to Tal Tal for up to US$11
million in cash payments, of which US$2 million was paid at closing and an
additional US$2 million was paid on May 30, 2012. Now that commercial production
has been achieved, La Veta will receive an additional US$3 million, of which the
first US$1 million was paid on September 9, 2013. The remaining US$2 million is
due the earlier of (1) 30 days after the first shipment from the second
producing iron ore property and (2) two years from the anniversary date when Tal
Tal achieved commercial production from the first producing iron ore property.
Furthermore, La Veta can earn up to another US$4 million based on the sales
price realized for certain volumes of production from the properties, as defined
in the SPA.
