06/25/2008


Toronto, Ontario – June 25, 2008 – Iberian Minerals Corp. (IZN–TSXV) (“Iberian”) Iberian


is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amended and restated credit agreement
(“Amended Credit Agreement”) with Trafigura Beheer B.V. (“Trafigura”).
The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured facility of up to US$125 million
which is to be used by Iberian to fund development requirements of the Aguas Tenidas project
(the “Development Advances”) and for the purposes of funding margin calls, if any, associated
with the hedging requirements pursuant to the previously announced project financing (the
“Aguas Tenidas Project Financing”) entered into in connection with the development of the
Aguas Tenidas mine (“Margin Advances”). The Amended Credit Agreement provides for
multiple drawdowns and bears interest at LIBOR + 1% per annum and repayable in cash upon
the maturity date. Any outstanding principal amount plus applicable interest relating to
Development Advances is due upon on the initial draw down on Aguas Tenidas Project
Financing. Any outstanding principal amount plus applicable interest relating to Margin
Advances is due when all permitted hedging arrangements required pursuant to the Aguas
Tenidas Project Financing have been terminated. Iberian shall have the right to prepay any
amount outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement without penalty. The Amended
Credit Agreement also provides for mandatory repayment in certain conditions. No structuring
fee or other financing fee is payable by Iberian in connection with the entering into of the
Amended Credit Agreement.


Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"), the entering into of the Amended
Credit Agreement is a "related party transaction" as Trafigura currently holds 105,420,691
Common Shares representing approximately 41.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of
the Corporation. The Corporation is exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-
101 in connection with entering into of the Amended Credit Agreement in reliance on section
5.5(c) of MI 61-101 as no securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted for trading on the
Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the
NASDAQ Stock market or a stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States.
Additionally the Corporation is exempt from obtaining minority shareholder approval in
connection with entering into of the Amended Credit Agreement in reliance on section 5.7(1)(f)
as the Amended Credit Agreement is on reasonably commercial terms that are not less
advantageous to the Corporation than if the loan were obtained from an arm’s length party; the
Amended Credit Agreement is not convertible into common shares; and no principal amount or
interest is repayable in common shares of the Corporation.
