New Exclusivity Agreement for Potential Sale of Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Nov. 17, 2014) - Orsu Metals Corporation ("Orsu" or the "Company"), the
London-based dual listed (TSX:OSU)(AIM:OSU) base and precious metals exploration and development company, today
announces that it has entered into a new conditional exclusivity agreement (the "Exclusivity Agreement") with
David-Invest LLP ("David-Invest"), a Kyrgyz registered company, and a related company, David Way Limited
("David Way"), a Hong Kong registered company (together the "Potential Buyers") with a view to the potential
sale of its Akdjol and Tokhtazan gold exploration licences in Kyrgyzstan (together the "Akdjol-Tokhtazan
Project").
The Company has re-negotiated the terms of the Exclusivity Agreement previously agreed with the Potential
Buyers and, in particular, the purchase price of the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project has been increased to US$5
million (from US$4.5 million). The key terms of the Exclusivity Agreement are:
=- the Potential Buyers have been granted an exclusive right to purchase
the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project until April 7, 2015 (the "Exclusivity
Period") conditional upon the Potential Buyers continuing to fund the
costs of maintaining the licence;
=- the Potential Buyers have the option to purchase the Akdjol-Tokhtazan
Project at any time on or before the expiry of the Exclusivity Period
for a consideration of US$5.0 million. The previous non-refundable
deposits of US$400,000 received by the Company during 2014, will be
applied against the consideration in the event of any sale;
=- the Potential Buyers will fund the exploration programme for the Akdjol-
Tokhtazan Project licences (which are due to expire on December 31,
2015) on a non-refundable basis for the Exclusivity Period; and
=- the Potential Buyers have the right to terminate the Exclusivity
Agreement at any time, and Orsu has the right to terminate the
Exclusivity Agreement in the event of non-fulfilment of the obligation
to fund the costs of maintaining the licence.
Other than as described above, there have been no significant changes to the terms of the previous exclusivity
agreements signed in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
The Company will apply any proceeds from a sale to working capital and identification of other early stage
exploration opportunities consistent with the Company's strategy.
Management believe that in the absence of any other firm proposals from other interested parties and given the
continuing difficult market conditions facing junior mining and exploration companies, and the specific
challenges relating to assets within certain countries of the Former Soviet Union such as Kyrgyzstan, the
Exclusivity Agreement represents the best prospect for achieving the disposal of the Akdjol-Tokhtazan Project
available to the Company at this time and for the foreseeable future.
