Title: OZ Minerals Commences $3.6M Phase 4 Exploration Program at Carube/Miocene Bellas Gate Joint Venture in Jamaica

Toronto, Ontario November 27, 2014 -- Miocene Metals Limited ("Miocene") (TSXV:MII) and Carube Resources Inc. ("Carube"), a private Ontario based mineral exploration company, are pleased to announce that on November 25th Carube received the $300,000 Phase 4 option payment from OZ Minerals Limited ("OZ Minerals") as well as formal notification that it is commencing exploration required to complete Phase 4 of the Bellas Gate Joint Venture ("BGJV" or "Project"). This phase requires the expenditure of $3,600,000 and will bring OZ Minerals' total exploration expenditures on the BGJV to $6,500,000.

Up to the end of Phase 3, OZ Minerals has completed total cumulative expenditures of $2,900,000 and paid Carube $175,000 in option payments. Completion of these requirements approximately 1.5 years ahead of the original schedule has earned OZ Minerals a 60% interest in the project. To complete Phase 4 OZ Minerals is required to spend an additional $3,600,000 on exploration over the next 12 months to earn an additional 10% interest in the BGJV. It is expected that much of the expenditures will be for drilling to follow-up recently completed geophysical, geochemical and mapping activities on numerous priority targets.

The BGJV consists of two copper-gold special exclusive prospecting licences covering 84 square kilometres of highly prospective geology in the central part of Jamaica. Compilation of historic data, geochemical surveying, mapping, sampling, trenching and drilling by Carube, along with the work to date by OZ Minerals has identified 14 high priority copper-gold porphyry exploration targets on the property. Initial drilling by OZ Minerals on the Connors target has intersected wide widths of copper-gold mineralization. (For details see press release dated August 7, 2014) and outlined a large soil anomaly and copper mineralization at the Hendley target 4.5 kilometres northwest of Connors. (see press release dated October 2nd, 2014). Drilling is continuing on the Connors target with two drills, to define the limits of the Connors mineralization, after which drill testing of the Hendley target will commence.

Dr. Vern Rampton, P.Eng. President and CEO of Carube stated " The accelerated pace at which OZ Minerals has completed the first three phases of its earn-in and their commitment to the $3.6 million in expenditures required during Phase 4 is a testament to the quality of the Bellas Gate Project and its ultimate exploration and development potential. Carube is certainly appreciative of our joint venture partner's efforts and expertise in moving the project along so rapidly and expediently enhancing its value for Carube shareholders. We expect a steady stream of news as Carube and Miocene complete their reverse takeover ("RTO") and throughout the next year."

The Carube Financings and the Miocene/Carube RTO

Euro Pacific Canada Inc. ("EPC") has been appointed by Carube to use EPC's commercially reasonable best efforts as the lead agent and book-runner in connection with the required financings. Details of the required financings can be found in the previous press release dated June 24, 2014, and August 22, 2014. Of the $4.23M in contemplated financings a total of approximately $1.89M has been closed. The amounts closed have been raised on a non-brokered basis pursuant to subscription agreements that were received directly by Miocene and Carube and were not arranged through EPC. Subscriptions and expressions of interest have been sourced for approximately $950,000. Subject to those amounts closing, approximately $1.4M remains to be sourced in order to obtain the Exchange's final approval for the RTO.

The terms of the RTO are fully described in Miocene's information circular dated April 29, 2014 (the "Information Circular"). The Information Circular is available under Miocene's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The RTO has been approved by the shareholders of both companies.

About Miocene Metals Limited

Miocene is focused on the exploration of three porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum properties in south-western British Columbia that occur within the Tertiary-aged Cascade Magmatic Arc. The Cascade Arc shares many geological characteristics with Tertiary-age porphyry belts that stretch the length of Chile and Peru in South America and hosts some of the world's largest porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposits. The Cascade Magmatic Arc hosts a number of significant porphyry Cu-Au and Mo deposits in Washington State, and Alaska (Glacier Peak and Margaret, and Quartz Hill respectively) but remains largely unexplored in British Columbia.
