Woulfe Mining Secures Korea Zinc as Strategic Partner

23.11.2010  |  Marketwire

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/23/10 -- Woulfe Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: WOF) ('Woulfe' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce it has entered into a Heads of Agreement (HoA) with Korea Zinc Co., Ltd. ('Korea Zinc'), one of the largest zinc/lead smelters in the world with a market capitalization of approximately US$5 billion which is listed on the Korea Stock Exchange in the Republic of Korea (South Korea). www.koreazinc.co.kr


The agreement is proposed on the following basis:


Initial Investment



-- Korea Zinc places CDN$10 million at CDN$0.30 per share into Woulfe
resulting in 13.46% ownership of the common shares of the Company;
-- Korea Zinc will receive one seat on the board of Woulfe in a Non
Executive capacity.


The deal is subject to TSX-V exchange approval, the approval of Woulfe shareholders at the scheduled AGM and extraordinary meetings on the 21st January 2011 and due diligence completion over the next 60 days.


Subsequent Investment


Woulfe 100% owned Sangdong Mining Corporation financing:



-- Korea Zinc will invest CDN$38 million of cash into Sangdong Mining
Corporation;
-- Korea Zinc will arrange subsequent financing to complete the development
of the Sangdong project on announcement of feasibility study due in
2011.


In return, Korea Zinc will acquire 51% of the Woulfe subsidiary, Sangdong Mining Corporation.


Woulfe 100% owned Muguk Gold Corporation financing:



-- Korea Zinc will invest CDN$1.8 million into Muguk Gold Corporation to
acquire 51% of the project.


Woulfe is pleased to welcome Korea Zinc as a strategic partner. Korea Zinc is an outstanding technologically advanced company having built its business core in zinc over the years to a US$5 billion market capitalization company with smelters in Korea and Australia and mining interests globally.


Korea Zinc is an ideal match for Woulfe to realize the potential of the Sangdong Tungsten/Molybdenum project and advance the Muguk Gold project as Korea Zinc has significant experience in mine and process plant development which will be invaluable to the Woulfe team in executing the Sangdong project.


The financing is sufficient to take the Sangdong project to production capitalizing on the recent tungsten price increases that have resulted in the tungsten price rising to US$300/mtu a growth of 57% this year.


Brian Wesson, President and CEO of Woulfe added, 'Woulfe could not wish for a better partner than Korea Zinc as they have a very impressive track record globally and bring immeasurable benefit to Woulfe and its shareholders. The financing package also allows the company to accelerate work at the Muguk Gold project.'
