92 Resources Corp. Signs Loi On Finland Diamond Property
The assignment would include assumption of all financial and non-financial obligations and liabilities registered on or in connection with the Property such as existing easements, and specifically including the obligations under the Vendor’s non-binding agreement (the “Dragon Agreement”) with Dragon Diamond Ventures Limited (“Dragon”) to earn up to 75% interest in the Property by expending Euro 1,382,000 on the Property, less any amount already expended by the Vendor. Transfer of the Property will include assignment of the Dragon Agreement to the Company and transfer of any and all assessments, reports, geological and sample data and any other information or data that has been collected or produced and is in the possession or owned by the Vendor. No deposit or loan has been made. Dragon owns the Property, is not a signatory to the LOI, and is arm’s length to the Vendor and the Company.
The Vendor also agreed to provide to the Company a technical report pursuant to NI 43-101 prepared by an independent qualified geologist which discusses the Property and confirms the expenditure by the Vendor of a minimum of $100,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Property within the year prior to the closing.
Potential RTO and Consolidation
The Company will undergo prior to closing a 1 for 3 share consolidation of its common shares (the “Consolidation”). There are approximately 12M shares currently outstanding in the Company, so post-Consolidation and prior to issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Financing, there will be approximately 4M shares outstanding in the Company.
In payment for the sale and transfer of the Assigned Rights to the Company, on closing, the Company will issue to the persons as specified by Vendor a total of 10,000,000 post-Consolidation common shares in its capital. In addition, the Company will raise up to $600,000 by issuing common shares at $0.06 per share post-Consolidation (the “Financing”) which Financing will close prior to or contemporaneously with the closing. Proceeds of the financing will be used for working capital and for development of the Property.
No sponsor for the potential reverse takeover (“RTO”) has been approached or retained. The Company after closing of the RTO would be a Tier 2 mining issuer. No management changes have been considered so far.
Property Information
The properties occur within the Karelian Craton, a terrain that occurs under the majority of Eastern Finland and continues into northwestern Russia. The craton consists of Archean rocks (+2.5 billion years old), and is one of the largest such cratons in the world. The Karelian Craton is host to the Grib Mine, located near the city port of Archangel in Russia —officially opening in June, 2014.
Diamondiferous kimberlites and lamproites have been found by previous workers in Finland and western Russia and management has high hopes for the Karelian craton. Prior to the 2008 global financial crisis there were at least 10 companies exploring for diamonds in Finland, which were achieving good technical success. A map and description of the Karelian Craton can be found at:

Dragon has informed us that the Reindeer Diamond property contains kimberlite that was discovered during the last financial crisis period but which was poorly tested due to financial restraints.

About 92 Resources Corp.
92 Resources is an emerging junior exploration company focused on acquiring and advancing strategic & prospective assets to the benefit of its shareholders. The Company’s current 100% owned silica/quartz Zim Frac claim group, as well as its Mitchell Lake uranium property, located in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, are all in good standing and currently being maintained; however, the Company is extremely excited about the new Reindeer Diamond project located in Finland.
92 Resources looks forward to being an active participant in diamond exploration within the same geological area where the producing Grib Mine is located.
However, diamond exploration is not easy. With this in mind, the Company is in the process of identifying and expects to engage several key technical individuals to join the Company. If these engagements do occur, the Company will have an experienced technical diamond team, working in mining friendly, geopolitically and environmentally positive country.
