Continuance to Cayman Islands Effective December 31, 2013

Share Consolidation Effective December 6, 2013

Toronto Stock Exchange Delisting Effective November 20, 2013

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Jan. 3, 2014 /CNW/ – New Dawn Mining Corp. (“New Dawn” or the “Company”), a junior gold mining company operating in Zimbabwe, is providing an update to shareholders with respect to the corporate actions that it has taken recently to implement, on a sequential basis, a 1-for-100,000 consolidation of its common shares (with a fractional share cash-out on the basis of C$0.13 per pre-consolidation common share) (the “Share Consolidation”) and a continuance from Canada to the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands (the “Continuance”).  As previously announced, these corporate actions were approved by the shareholders of the Company at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on November 19, 2013.

Also as previously announced, the Company’s common shares were delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange effective on the close of trading on Wednesday, November 20, 2013.

The Company’s Share Consolidation was implemented by filing articles of amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation effective on December 6, 2013.  As a result, shareholders are entitled to receive new post-consolidation common shares in the Canadian-domiciled New Dawn legal entity, if applicable, and the fractional share cash-out payment.  As the new common shares being issued to shareholders under the Share Consolidation do not have either a CUSIP number or an ISIN number, such common shares are only being issued in physical form.  Shareholders, or their broker if their shares are held in street name, must file a properly completed Letter of Transmittal with the Company’s transfer agent, TMX Equity Transfer Services in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, in order to receive new post-consolidation common shares, if applicable, and the fractional share cash-out payment.

Effective December 30, 2013, the Company surrendered its reporting issuer status in British Columbia and has applied to terminate its reporting obligations in the remaining Canadian jurisdictions.

Effective December 31, 2013, the Company implemented the Continuance.  Common shareholders are entitled to exchange their post-consolidation common shares of the Canadian-domiciled New Dawn legal entity for newly issued ordinary shares of the Cayman Islands New Dawn legal entity on a one-for-one basis.

As a result of the implementation of the Continuance, the Company has closed its Canadian corporate offices in Toronto.

Also effective December 31, 2013, Jon W. North and Philip G. MacDonnell resigned as directors of the Company and Graham R. Clow retired from his position as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company.

The Company will continue to advise shareholders as appropriate.
