Vancouver, British Columbia - Anfield Nickel Corp. ('Anfield') (TSXV: ANF) and Magellan Minerals Ltd. ('Magellan', TSXV: MNM) today completed the previously announced plan of arrangement (the 'Arrangement') under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) whereby Anfield acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of Magellan.

Under the terms of the Arrangement, former Magellan shareholders received 0.0863 Anfield common shares for each of their Magellan common shares. Anfield currently has 66,696,820 common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Anfield acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Magellan. All outstanding options and warrants of Magellan were cancelled pursuant to the Arrangement.

'Closing this transaction is truly transformative for Anfield as the Coringa Project represents the first step toward building a mid-tier gold mining company. We have strong management and finance capabilities. We will aggressively advance the project to production and at the same time seek to acquire other gold projects for growth' said Marshall Koval, Anfield's President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Anfield shares issued pursuant to the Arrangement have been approved for listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Anfield is also pleased to announce the appointment of Alan Carter to its board of directors. Alan is a co-founder of Magellan and has been President and Chief Executive Officer since 2007. He has a Ph.D. in Geology (Gold Geochemistry) and previously spent 10 years living in South America mainly with BHP Billiton Ltd. and Rio Tinto. He is a director of Peregrine Diamonds Ltd. and a previous co-founder and director of Peregrine Metals Ltd.

As the Arrangement has now completed, the Magellan common shares were de-listed from the TSX Venture Exchange effective May 6, 2016. In addition, Magellan will begin the process of applying to cease to be a reporting issuer or the equivalent in the relevant Canadian jurisdictions.
