Vancouver, BC, February 7, 2014: Cordoba Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:CDB) ("Cordoba") is pleased to confirm the closing of the previously announced equity offering (the "Equity Offering") of 30,000,000 subscription receipts (the "Subscription Receipts") at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of $15,000,000.

The Equity Offering is being conducted in connection with the proposed acquisition by Cordoba of all of the issued and outstanding shares of (i) Cordoba Holdings Corp. which it does not otherwise own and (ii) Sabre Metals Inc. (the "Acquisition"). The Acquisition was previously announced on August 1, 2013.

The gross proceeds of the Equity Offering (the "Escrowed Funds") have been deposited in escrow pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement. The Escrowed Funds will be released from escrow upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the Acquisition, receipt of all requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals to the Equity Offering and Acquisition, and certain other conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"). Upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and in connection with the completion of the Acquisition, each Subscription Receipt will represent the right to acquire a common share and a warrant of Cordoba. Each warrant has a term of three (3) years exercisable at $0.75 with an early exercise provision when the common shares they are exercisable for close at greater than $1.25 for 20 consecutive trading days.

The syndicate of agents engaged for the Equity Offering shall receive (i) a cash commission equal to up to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Equity Offering; and (ii) such number of compensation options as is equal to up to 6% of the number of Subscription Receipts sold in the Equity Offering, each entitling the holder to acquire one common share and a warrant (each such warrant with the same terms and provisions of the warrants issuable under the Equity Offering) at a price of $0.50 per compensation option for a period of 18 months after the closing date.

In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before May 15, 2014, the gross proceeds will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled.

The net proceeds from the Equity Offering are intended to be used to fund commitments related to the acquisition of the Cordoba Project, for ongoing exploration and development activity at the San Matias Project including the high grade copper gold discovery at Montiel, and ongoing operating and working capital requirements.

Subscribers who will be insiders of Cordoba on completion of the Acquisition have agreed to purchase $2,050,000 of the Equity Offering.

All securities issued pursuant to the Equity Offering are currently subject to an indefinite statutory hold period. It is anticipated that upon completion of the Acquisition, all such securities will be freely tradeable (subject to any limitations imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange). The Equity Offering remains subject to the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including, without limitation, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
