LUCERNE, Switzerland, June 27, 2012 /CNW/ - Iberian Minerals Corp. Reference is made to the Notice of Meeting and Management Information Circular of Iberian Minerals Corp. ("Iberian") dated May 22, 2012 in respect of the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 19, 2012. Management of Iberian is pleased to confirm that all of the matters presented at the meeting were approved by the shareholders of Iberian including the proposed transfer of the corporate seat to Jersey, Channel Islands. The proposed transfer is subject to obtaining binding and unconditional tax rulings from the tax authorities of the Canton of Lucerne and the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirming that following completion of the transfer of the corporate seat, Iberian will maintain its tax residency with respect to income tax, capital tax, withholding tax and stamp tax in Lucerne, Switzerland. Management anticipates receiving a response to the applications for the tax rulings in the third quarter and, assuming favorable rulings, will move to complete the corporate migration. Assuming the corporate migration is completed, management of Iberian understands that Trafigura Beheer B.V., the indirect owner of over 98% of Iberian's issued and outstanding registered shares, intends to use procedures available under Jersey corporate law, to complete the acquisition of the minority interest in Iberian. Subsequently to the transfer of the Corporate Seat to Jersey, Channel Islands, the new corporate name will become "Iberian Minerals Corp. plc" Following such acquisition, management intends to apply to delist the Registered Shares from the TSX Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that favorable tax rulings will be obtained or that the corporate migration will be completed within the time frame proposed, or at all. Management of Iberian is also pleased to communicate the re-election of Directors for the ensuing year. Accordingly, Norman Brewster, Jeremy Weir, Jesus Fernandez Lopez, Lionel J. Gunter and Phillipe Blavier have been re-elected as Directors of Iberian. About Iberian Iberian Minerals Corp. is a Canadian listed global base metals company with interests in Spain and Peru.
