Bayswater Sells Non-Core Assets

30.11.2010  |  Business Wire

Bayswater Uranium Corporation (TSX-V: BYU),
(OTC:
BYSWF)
reports that it has executed an agreement 'Purchase Agreement? to
sell its 100% interest in the Kilgore Gold Project and related assets
including the Hai and Goldbug gold properties ('KG Project?) to Otis
Gold Corp. ('Otis?). The Purchase Agreement replaces an option agreement
('Option Agreement?) dated June 4th, 2008 which granted Otis
the right to earn up to a 75% interest in the KG Project. Under the
Option Agreement, Otis was required to pay cash of US$200,000, issue an
aggregate of 3,000,000 common shares, conduct US$3,000,000 in
exploration work and complete an independent pre-feasibility study on
the KG Project in order to earn a 75% interest, subject to a 2% net
smelter return royalty ('NSR?), 3/4 of which could have been acquired
for US$1,500,000.


The Purchase Agreement requires Otis to pay an additional US$1,750,000
and issue an additional 2,000,000 common shares to Bayswater. The cash
will be paid in 45-days (as to US$750,000), 4-months (as to US$750,000)
and 12-months (as to US$250,000), subject to regulatory approval. The
shares will be issued at closing and, including the statutory 4-month
hold period, will be subject to hold periods which will expire 6-months
after closing (as to 500,000 shares), 12-months after closing (as to
500,000 shares), 18-months after closing (as to 500,000 shares) and
24-months after closing (as to 500,000 shares). Under the Option
Agreement, to date Otis has paid US$200,000, issued 1,300,000 common
shares and completed over US$3,000,000 in exploration work.


Otis Gold Corp has announced an update on the Kilgore Gold Project as of
today′s date as follows: 'The Kilgore Gold Project comprises a large, 5
square mile, volcanic-hosted epithermal gold system situated on the
northern margin of the eastern Snake River Plain. Pliocene-age
mineralization is hosted in Miocene lithic and crystal tuff on the
margin of a caldera setting. Mineralization style and setting, host rock
type and thickness, and overall size of the mineralizing system are
analogous to those characterizing the Round Mountain, Nevada and
McDonald Meadows, Montana multi-million ounce volcanic-hosted
disseminated gold deposits, where high-grade, coarse-gold feeder veins
also exist.


In 2002, Rayner and Associates and Van Brunt conducted a NI 43-101
compliant resource estimate on the Kilgore bulk-tonnage deposit. Their
estimate comprises 218,000 ounces of drill-indicated gold (7.043 MM tons
@ 0.031 opt Au, 0.010 Au cutoff) and 269,000 ounces of inferred gold
(9.661 MM tons @ 0.028 opt Au, 0.010 opt Au cutoff). Several additional
43-101 non-compliant resource estimates have been computed on the
bulk-tonnage mineralization by prior operators Placer Dome U.S. and Echo
Bay Mines. These estimates indicate a global resource of between 561,000
and 706,000 ounces of gold contained in the Mine Ridge deposit at
Kilgore depending on the cut-off (see Otis News Release dated June 10,
2008). These estimates are mentioned for historic and reference purposes
only, the issuer is not treating them as current mineral resources, and
they are not to be relied upon.


Since initiating activities at Kilgore in mid-2008, Otis has completed
56 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 11,500 metres at the
Kilgore Gold Project. Additionally, metallurgical testing on four
samples from Mine Ridge is being conducted by McClelland Labs of Reno,
Nevada, and an Environmental Scoping Study by Golder Associates is in
progress. In 2011, Otis is planning an aggressive drill program that
will include additional resource development drilling at the Mine Ridge
deposit and exploration drilling at the highly prospective Dog Bone
Ridge geophysical targets (see News Release dated September 15, 2010).
Additionally, in 2011 Otis will be completing an updated NI 43-101
resource calculation on the Mine Ridge deposit to reflect drilling
completed from 2008 to 2010.?


The Kilgore Gold project is not a key asset of the Company. Both the Hai
and Goldbug projects are very early stage gold prospects on which
neither the Company nor Otis has carried out any exploration work.


In other news, the Company reports that it has entered into a sale
agreement with Cascade Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CC) for all of its
interest in 12 early stage uranium concessions, of which 8 have been
granted and 4 are in the application process, in Niger, West Africa for
the consideration of 2,000,000 common shares in Cascade plus a 2  ½% net
smelter royalty from any production from the concessions, subject to
regulatory approval. Cascade has also assumed all of the Company′s
former obligations to maintain the concessions. No field work has been
carried out on the concessions by the Company, although favourable
geophysical targets have been identified by the Company from a
compilation of airborne data generated from available work by others in
the country. All the concessions are located about 80 to 150 kms
northwest of the Arlit and Cominak uranium mines in north-central Niger.


Also, the Company has amended a previous sale agreement with Cascade
Resources Ltd. in regards to its former land holdings in Mali, West
Africa whereby the Company sold all of its interest for 1,000,000 common
shares, previously issued, in Cascade plus a $250,000 promissory note
due August 31, 2012 and a 2 1/2 % net smelter return from any production
from the land holdings. The amendment provides for the promissory note
to be converted into 1,000,000 common shares in Cascade subject to
regulatory approval.


In addition, the Company announces that it has sold the Juniper uranium
property in California to Longview Capital Partners Limited, a private
company, for the consideration of US12,000 to cover the current year′s
land maintenance fees plus 10% of the shares issuable to Longview as a
result of any vending of the property into a listed company on the TSX
Venture Exchange; and that such shares will not be less than 500,000
shares and failing which, and in place of the shares, Longview will pay
US$250,000 to the Company upon the expiry of two years from the date of
the agreement if such shares have not been issued to the Company. In
addition, the Company is to be paid US$500,000 upon public announcement
of commercial production from the Property. The Juniper property has
historical resources of 4.0 million lbs U3O8, which resources are not
compliant with NI 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon, in an
area posing potential permitting restrictions and mining difficulties in
northeastern California and as such is not a core asset of the Company.


All the above sale transactions are in line with the Company′s objective
of building a pure uranium exploration and development company with a
focus on production?particularly from potential in-situ recovery ('ISR?)
operations in the western USA.
