International PBX
Ventures Ltd. ("PBX" or the "Company") (TSX.V:PBX) is pleased to
announce that on October 11, 2013 the
Company, through its wholly owned Chilean subsidiary, Minera IPBX
Ltda.("IPBX"), has entered into an agreement to sell 100% of its
interest in the Copaquire Property ("Copaquire" or "the Property"),
located in the Andean Cordillera of Region I, northern Chile, to
Teck Resources Chile Ltda. ("Teck"), a subsidiary of Teck Resources
Limited for US$3,033,556 cash plus a 3% net smelter royalty (NSR)
payable to IPBX. Additionally, Teck will have the option to buy
back 1% of the NSR for US$3 million at any time. The sale is
subject to legal and title due diligence and PBX shareholder
approval and is expected to close in December, 2013.
The Transaction has been approved by the
PBX Board of Directors and Haywood Securities Inc. has provided a
verbal opinion to the Company that the Transaction is fair, from a
financial point of view, to PBX shareholders.
Terry Lynch,
President and CEO of PBX commented, "We are pleased to come to an
agreement with Teck to sell Copaquire. While we had expected to
obtain a purchase price with more value upfront, it is very telling
of the current market conditions that we ended up accepting this
deal. Our view was with Teck's 76.5% interest in the nearby
Quebrada Blanca mine that they would be in the best position to
advance the Property. Through our maintenance of an attractive
royalty on the Property, we expect to provide our shareholders with
exposure to a potential future development at Copaquire. We would
like to thank our agents, Jones Gable and Haywood for their help in
the sales process. Total fees payable to our agents for this
transaction is $128,926. We will use part of the proceeds to pay
off our current trade payables, loans and convertible debenture. We
then plan to use the remaining proceeds to enhance shareholder
value by focusing on the exploration and development of certain of
our current properties and would expect to provide an update on
these development plans post-closing of this
transaction."
In addition to the
aforementioned Copaquire Property, PBX owns mineral rights through
its subsidiary, Chilean Metals Exploration Ltd. ("Chilean Metals")
on six 100%-owned properties comprising over 50,000 acres
strategically located in the prolific IOCG ("Iron
oxide-copper-gold") belt of Chile. Several of these projects are
under review by third parties for possible purchase or joint
venture.
