VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec 15, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — War Eagle Mining Company Inc. (“War Eagle” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its shareholders approved all of the resolutions proposed at War Eagle’s annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on December 8, 2011. In particular, shareholders approved the planned reverse takeover (the “Transaction”) of the Company by Andromeda Resources Inc. (“Andromeda”), as fully described in the Company’s information circulation dated November 9, 2011.


As previously disclosed, completion of the Transaction is conditional upon, among other things, receipt of all required regulatory approvals and Andromeda completing a financing that raises gross proceeds of at least $7,000,000. To date, Andromeda has not yet raised sufficient funds to satisfy the financing condition and does not expect to do so until early 2012.


Andromeda is required to make certain cash payments under a staged purchase agreement to acquire the Terrazas zinc-copper property, including a US$1.8 million payment due on December 15, 2011. Andromeda will not be able to make the payment on time and is currently negotiating an amendment to the purchase agreement to provide an extension. There can be no assurance that Andromeda will be able to successfully negotiate amended terms and, accordingly, that the Transaction will complete as proposed or at all.
