Vancouver, B.C., March 7, 2016, Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) (“Monument” or the “Company”) reports that Monument and its wholly owned Malaysian subsidiary Damar Consolidated Exploration Sdn Bhd (“Damar”) have been awarded a Judgment after a full trial in the Shah Alam High Court in Malaysia a sum of CDN$500,000 and other awards against Emas Kehidupan Sdn. Bhd. (“EK”) and its shareholders: Zackry Mohamed Iwaz and Kesit Pty Ltd , a company controlled by Peter Steven Kestel (together the “Vendor Group”) in relation to the Mersing Gold Project. 

On September 12, 2011 the Company entered into an Earn-in Agreement with the Vendor Group, pursuant to which the Company was allowed to earn a controlling interest in the Mersing Gold Project - Mining Concession 1221 (“MC 1221”), subject to MC1221 being transferred by the Vendor Group to a joint venture Company Himpunan Suci Sdn. Bhd. (“HSSB”), in which EK owns 70% of interest. HSSB should be the sole and primary company that owns MC 1221.

The Company paid $500,000 in cash and issued 1.5 million fully paid Monument common shares to the Vendor Group including Kesit Pty Ltd, upon signing the Earn-In Agreement; and was to complete $2 million in exploration on the Mersing Gold Project during the first two-year earn in period. 

Due to the Vendor’s failure of the registration of MC 1221 under HSSB, the Company commenced legal action to recover its funds and shares, and as a result has obtained the above judgment in the Shah Alam High Court. The Company expects to collect the award and return shares in EK that were transferred to Damar when the transaction was entered into with the Vendor Group.
