New Exclusivity Agreement for Potential Sale of Akdjol-Tokhtazan
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Jan. 10, 2014) - Orsu Metals Corporation ("Orsu" or the "Company"), the
dual listed (TSX:OSU)(AIM:OSU) London-based base and precious metals exploration and development company, today
announces that it has entered into a new conditional exclusivity agreement ("New 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-Tokhtazan gold exploration licences in Kyrgyzstan ("Licences") through either the sale of
its wholly owned subsidiary, Tournon Finance Limited ("Tournon"), or Tournon's wholly owned subsidiary, Oriel
In Kyrgyzstan LLC ("OIK"), respectively the indirect and direct holders of the Licences. The Company's interest
in the Licences was classified as held for sale in 2011 following the Board's decision to actively market the
asset and focus on developing its Karchiga Project, the Company's principal copper asset in north-eastern
Kazakhstan. The previous exclusivity agreement with David-Invest (see the Company's press release dated
September 12, 2013) expired on December 31, 2013.
The key terms of the New Exclusivity Agreement are as follows:
=- the Potential Buyers have been granted an exclusive right to purchase
Tournon or OIK until June 30, 2014 (the "Exclusivity Period"),
conditional upon Orsu's receipt of a non-refundable deposit of $0.5
million by January 31, 2014. The Exclusivity Period will end on January
31, 2014 in the event the deposit is not paid by such date;
=- in return for being granted exclusivity, David-Invest will fund the
exploration programme for the 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 option to purchase the entire share
capital of Tournon or OIK at any time on or before the expiry of the
Exclusivity Period for a consideration of US$4.5 million (including the
deposit), which total amount is unchanged from the previous exclusivity
agreements.
Other than as described above, there have been no significant changes to the terms of the previous exclusivity
agreements signed in 2012 and 2013.
The carrying value of the Licences as at September 30, 2013 was US$4.49 million, and the losses attributable to
the Licences for the year ended December 31, 2012 were US$1.7 million.
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.
