TORONTO, June 11, 2020 /CNW/ - Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (TSX:ME) (OTC:MPUCF) (XETRA:MOP) ("Moneta" or the "Company") announces that it has changed the format of its upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Thursday, June 18, 2020 at 10:00 am (Toronto time) to a webcast-only meeting via live audio webcast (the "Meeting").

The Meeting will no longer be hosted at a physical location and shareholders will not be able to attend physically with attendance by webcast only. The decision to conduct a webcast-only Meeting was made for the health and safety of Moneta's shareholders and employees given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic risk and related restrictions.

Shareholders are encouraged to vote in advance of the webcast-only Meeting. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders attending the Meeting via a live audio webcast will be able to fully participate or submit questions during the Meeting. Voting instructions will be provided at the webcast-only Meeting for shareholders in attendance. Voting during the Meeting will revoke previous voting instructions.
