USCorp Discloses Additional Details of Proposed $125 Million Joint Venture
USCorp (OTCBB:USCS) today provided further details with regard to its
recently announced agreement to form a joint venture to fund up to $125
million to develop gold and silver properties.
USCorp has signed an agreement with a fully reporting public US company,
which is the holding company of a major Chinese-based conglomerate with
revenues in excess of $700 million (USD) annually, to form a joint
venture to complete exploration and begin development of USCorp′s mining
properties. The US company, holding Chinese assets, has requested
confidentiality until the joint venture is funded with an initial $25
million, which must take place on or before January 15, 2011.
The agreement calls for USCorp to contribute to the joint venture the
claims it presently owns in Arizona and California once the $25 million
has been received by the joint venture. It is the responsibility of the
US company, holding Chinese assets, to secure the $25 million in funding
for the joint venture. In the event that the necessary initial funding
is unable to be raised, the agreement provides that it can be cancelled
and neither USCorp nor the Chinese partner will be obligated to perform
under the Agreement. Each entity will own 50 percent of the joint
venture. Initially the joint venture is expected to carry out the
following:
Completion of the drilling program at Twin Peaks in Arizona
Initiating the drilling program at Picacho Salton in California
Updating the mineralization estimates in the Company′s Technical
Reports
Completion of all engineering and permitting on the two projects
Retirement of all existing debt
Commencement of mining operations.
This newly-formed joint venture entity will seek to raise an additional
$100 million (USD) to expand its asset base but no assurance can be
given that either funding will be successful.
Upon the completion of the funding the claims will be transferred to the
joint venture and the joint venture is expected to complete the drilling
and development of the properties. Reports from previous drilling show
significant gold and silver mineralization on the properties. This joint
venture should enable completion of the drilling programs in Arizona and
California. USCorp′s Twin Peaks property in Yavapai County, Arizona is
near to, and on the same fault zone as the world famous Freeport-McMoRan
mine in Arizona. USCorp′s Picacho Salton Property, in California, is
adjacent to both NewGold′s open pit gold mine and the Goldcorp claims
group in Imperial County California.
