Wolverine Minerals Executes Revised Purchase Agreement for Acquisition of Interest in Colombia Gold Properties from Tolima Gold
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Wolverine will purchase a 90% interest in Remedios Gold from Herbo in consideration of an aggregate of $1,200,000 ($700,000 of which will be paid by forgiveness of a loan previously advance to Herbo and $500,000 of which will be paid on closing). On closing, a 90% interest in Remedios Gold will be transferred to Wolverine, with 30% held in escrow subject to the completion of work commitments of $2,000,000. For each $1,000,000 in work commitments, a 15% interest in Remedios Gold will be released to Wolverine. As additional consideration, Wolverine will grant the Sellers a 2.5% net smelter return royalty (the "Royalty") on production from the Properties. Wolverine has agreed to purchase an additional mining property, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, if acquired by the Sellers in consideration of the payment to Herbo of an additional $500,000 and the issuance 500,000 common shares of Wolverine, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. Such additional mining property would be subject to the Royalty. The Transaction also includes a three kilometer area of interest provision. On closing, Wolverine and Herbo will enter into a right of first refusal agreement, pursuant to which the Company will have the first right of refusal to purchase all or any portion of the Royalty and the remaining interest in Remedios Gold.
Completion of the Transaction will be subject to a number of conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Properties are located in the Remedios and Segovia municipalities of Antioquia, Colombia, a region with mining tradition that dates back to three centuries before the Spanish colonization of the region in the 15th century. There are over 500 active small mines documented in this mining district, which constitutes the primary economic activity and source of employment in the region.
Wolverine is working to complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant report on the Properties, and intends to conduct an exploration and development program over all of the identified targets and bring the current mine and plant into operation as soon as practicable.
