Indico Announces Successful Renegotiation of Final Payments at Ocana

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 9, 2014) - Indico Resources Ltd. ("Indico" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:IDI) is pleased to announce that the final payment of US$15.5 million due in April 2015 towards the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Ocaña Porphyry Copper-Gold Project has been amended, resulting in a 1% NSR on commercial production at the Ocaña project and a five year extension of the terms of the payment.

Under the terms of the amended payment schedule, Indico will pay US$1.5 million in April 2015 and US$2.0 million in April 2016, 2017 and 2018. A final payment of US$7.99 million will be due in April 2019. In addition, a cash payment of $50,000 is due if mine construction has not commenced by June 30, 2016. Advance royalty payments of $300,000 are payable from June 30, 2018 onwards and can be discounted from future royalty payments by 20% per year.

President and CEO, Bob Baxter stated: "The extension of the payment period on the Ocaña property into what we consider our production phase is welcome news, allowing us to advance the project at this time without the large payment that we had facing us. We look forward now to catching up with investors that had previously flagged the large payment as an impediment to advancing the Ocaña project."

The Company also announces that it has relinquished its rights under the MOU on the Maria Reyna project, near Cusco Peru. Of the two properties, Ocaña offers the better short-term upside, and therefore the Company has decided to focus all its financial and human resources on Ocaña.

The Ocaña Property consists of 23 concessions covering 123 km² and is located on the northwest extension of the Southern Peru Porphyry Copper Belt, a trend defined in part by the Toquepala, Quellaveco, Cuajone, and Cerro Verde Mines to the southeast. Most recent exploration of the belt has resulted in discovery of the Zafranal copper-porphyry deposit, located approximately 75 km to the southeast of the Ocaña Property. Significant hypogene (primary sulphide) mineralization underlies the supergene zone at Ocaña, with intersections of >0.2% copper occurring over 800 metres east-west, and 600 metres north-south. Mineralization continues to the north onto the neighbouring property and is currently being drilled by Pembrook Mining Corp. as part of their Pecoy project.
