Exploration development incentive

Minotaur Exploration ('Company') has been successful in its application for participation in the Federal Government's Exploration Development Incentive Scheme (EDI). The Company will distribute $570,000 of tax credits to shareholders under the EDI.

The Record Date for shareholder eligibility under the EDI is Tuesday 31 May 2016. For shareholders to be eligible to receive a pro-rata distribution of tax credits from the Company they must hold ordinary shares in the Company as at 5pm (EST) on 31 May 2016. EDI tax offsets are only available to Australian resident shareholders.

Eligible shareholders will be notified of the EDI tax credits applicable to them as at 30 June 2016 and will be able to claim the tax offsets in the 2015-16 tax year.

Minotaur Exploration's Managing Director, Andrew Woskett stated that "The EDI scheme is a terrific incentive for people to invest in minerals exploration companies. Based on Minotaur's closing price of 5.3c per share on 30 March 2016 this represents a theoretical return1of approximately 5% for eligible shareholders."
