CURIS ANNOUNCES C$7 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Curis Resources Ltd. has arranged a $7-million non-brokered private placement financing, pursuant to which Curis will issue 11,666,667 common shares in the capital of Curis at a price of 60 cents per share, to existing shareholder Taseko Mines Ltd. Taseko will then own 17 per cent of Curis's outstanding shares and also retains information rights and a pro rata right to participate in future financings subject to customary exceptions.

"This investment represents strong support and confidence by a major Canadian mining company in the management and future prospects of Curis, and our flagship Florence copper project. Taseko is a long-term committed shareholder that will bring financial and technical strength to the Curis team. The funding will allow Curis to advance Florence copper through the final stage of project permitting for our first phase of project development and also support the ongoing development of the company," stated Michael McPhie, president and chief executive officer of Curis.

Proceeds from the private placement will be used to advance the development of Curis's in situ copper recovery project in Florence, Ariz. The private placement is subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and is targeted to complete in two tranches by Jan. 2, 2014.
