Anaconda Mining Announces Change to its Fiscal Year-End

TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or the "Company") - (TSX:ANX) is pleased to announce that it is changing its fiscal year-end to December 31, from its current fiscal year- end of May 31. The notice for the year end change required under National Instrument 51-102 has been filed under the Company's profile at www.sedar.com.

Anaconda believes this will better align the Company's financial reporting periods to that of its peer group in the mineral resources sector and facilitate marketplace assessment of the Company's business performance.

As a result, the Company will report audited financial results for a seven-month transitional fiscal year from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. Afterwards, Anaconda will revert to a customary quarterly reporting calendar based on a December 31st financial year-end, with fiscal quarters ending on the last day in March, June, September, and December each year.

The Company will provide revised guidance parameters for the new 2018 financial year in the first quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
