United Silver Corp. ('United Silver Corp.?,the 'Company?, or
'USC?;TSX: USC; OTC: USCZF; Frankfurt: UM8) is pleased to announce
that it has signed a term sheet to enter into an agreement with Hale
Capital Partners, LP. Under the terms of the agreement Hale will receive
a 20% joint venture interest in the Crescent Silver Mine, located in the
Coeur D′Alene Silver Belt, Idaho. USC had recently acquired this same
interest in the Crescent Silver Mine project from Gold Finder
Explorations Ltd. The sale to Hale Capital will require an initial
contribution on closing of $2,400,000 to USC after transaction expenses,
which funding USC will use to bring the Crescent Mine into commercial
production. USC will remain the manager of the Crescent Silver Mine
Joint Venture and remain its 80% owner and under this new agreement will
have the right to repurchase half of Hale′s 20% interest once certain
conditions are met.
The parties have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to sign
the joint venture agreement by June 10, 2012. Other specific terms of
the joint venture will be disclosed in the joint venture agreement which
will be publicly filed on SEDAR upon its execution. There are conditions
precedent to the joint venture agreement′s completion.
Graham Clark, CEO of USC said, 'We are very pleased with Hale Capital
Partners, LP continued support as they become our joint venture partner
in the Crescent Mine project. This transaction, on closing, provides us
with adequate funding according to our budget to carry out our
development plans until commercial production makes the Crescent Mine
project self sustaining.?
