Stratabound Announces Special Dividend

SB: TSX Venture Exchange       
Issued: 72,027,611 shares

CALGARY, June 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Stratabound Minerals Corp. (TSX.V:SB) reports that the previously announced sale of its 40% interest in the Elmtree gold property in New Brunswick has closed. Stratabound has received $100,000 in cash and 10,000,000 shares of Winston Resources Inc. which currently trades on the Canadian National Stock Exchange (CDNX) under the trading symbol WRW. Another $200,000 will be received in equal installments on December 22, 2012 and June 22, 2013.

As holding 10,000,000, common shares of Winston is not part of Stratabound's business strategy, the board has declared a special dividend of these shares to Stratabound's shareholders of record on July 15, 2012.  This eligible dividend will see each shareholder of record receive 0.138 Winston share for each Stratabound share held.  Winston is planning an aggressive drill program on the Elmtree property.  Stratabound shareholders can therefore benefit directly from any future positive developments at Elmtree or at Winston's properties located in Ontario's James Bay Lowlands area known as the "Ring of Fire".
