By Jennifer Chiou

New York, Nov. 20 - Katanga Mining Ltd. announced the completion of a C$115 million offering of units, each consisting of a C$1,000 note due Nov. 30, 2013 and 40 common share purchase warrants.

Included in the issue was a fully exercised greenshoe for an additional C$15 million of units.

The notes bear interest at 14%, which will be payable beginning Jan. 1, 2008.

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Katanga share anytime on or before Nov. 20, 2011 at C$8.50 per share.
