Orsu Metals Corporation: New Exclusivity Agreement for Potential Sale of Akdjol-Tokhtazan
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - April 1, 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 key terms of the New Exclusivity Agreement are as follows:
=- in return for a non-refundable deposit of $300,000, which has been paid,
the Potential Buyers have been granted an exclusive right to purchase
Tournon or OIK until July 1, 2014 (the "Exclusivity Period");
=- 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 December 31, 2013 was US$4.48 million and the net gain attributable to the
Licences for the year ended December 31, 2013 was US$53,000.
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.
