Charles Street Capital plc
('Charles Street' or 'the Company')
Heads of Terms Agreement to Acquire Precious and Base Metal
Exploration Project in Bulgaria
Board Change
Change of Nominated Adviser and Broker
Charles Street Capital plc, the AIM listed natural resources
investment company, is pleased to announce that it has signed a
Heads of Terms Agreement ('the Agreement') to acquire Bulgarian
Mining Resources Ltd ('BMR'), which owns the prospective 68.7 sq km
Lehovo Precious and Base Metal Project ('Lehovo' or 'the Project')
located within the Serbo-Macedonian Massifs in south-west Bulgaria.
The potential acquisition of BMR, which is subject inter alia to
due diligence and Shareholder approval, is for a consideration of
GBP1,750,000 to be satisfied by the issue of 500,000,000 ordinary
shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company.
Overview
-- Lehovo is an intermediate stage precious and base metal
project with exposure to gold, silver, molybdenum, lead and
zinc.
-- Three prospective targets currently defined for further
exploration.
-- Lehovo project located in Bulgaria, an active mining and
exploration district, which has benefitted from increased foreign
investment over recent years.
-- Acquisition is in line with the Company's strategy to build a
diverse portfolio of resource assets to maximise value for
shareholders.
-- The Acquisition is subject inter alia to legal, technical and
accounting due diligence and with compliance with the AIM reverse
takeover rules.
Charles Street's Chairman Nicholas Lee said, "Bulgaria has an
active mining industry and having reviewed the historical data
available at Lehovo, we hope that the Agreement will pave the way
for future growth in Charles Street. This proposed acquisition, if
implemented, would help transform the Company into an exploration
and development company with a first asset which has potential, in
a recognised mining district."
Under the terms of the Agreement and subject to due diligence
and certain other conditions, including shareholder approval, the
proposed acquisition will constitute a Reverse Takeover under the
AIM Rules.
Shareholders should note that pursuant to Rule 15 of the AIM
Rules for Companies (the 'AIM Rules') the Company's shares will
remain suspended from trading until the Company undertakes the
reverse takeover envisaged under the Heads of Terms. In the event
that this does not place by 10 June 2011 then trading of the
Company's shares on AIM will be cancelled.
The Board will make further announcements as appropriate.
The Company also announces that Damian Conboy has resigned as a
director with immediate effect to focus on his main role at Alecto
Energy PLC. Greg Kuenzel will be primarily responsible for the
proposed transaction and if the Acquisition is implemented, it is
anticipated that further board changes will be made.
In addition, Charles Street Capital is pleased to announce that
it has today appointed Beaumont Cornish Limited as Nominated
Adviser and Broker to the Company with immediate effect.
