ASX RELEASE

2-Feb-12

Beacon Minerals Ltd is pleased to announce it has signed the legal sale agreement with Ramelius Resources Ltd to sell Mining Lease ML 77/1254 (BCN ownership 80%) at the Barlee Gold Project. This sale agreement is now subject to approval by shareholders at a General Meeting.

The sale of this asset will establish a strong financial base for the Company to grow, potentially through both the acquisition of new ground and further exploration of the remaining Barlee tenements. This recapitalisation will allow the Company to continue exploration of several prospective targets at Barlee as well as continue the current advanced negotiations on project opportunities which are located in geological regions where existing large scale gold resources occur. Further details of the Company’s planned activities will be released to shareholders in the coming weeks.

The payment terms for sale of the Mining Lease are :

  • Payment of $4 million cash representing reimbursement of exploration expenditure.

  • Royalty of $ 80 per ounce for gold produced from 1 to 40,000 ounces from the ML.

  • Royalty of $160 per ounce for gold produced from 40,001 to 100,000 ounces from the ML.

  • Royalty of 2.0% of the value of gold produced from the ML above 100,000 ounces.

The potential royalty income stream for Beacon is shown in Attachment 1.

At the completion of the transaction, which is subject to shareholder approval, BCN will have;

  • Cash reserves of approximately $5,000,000.

  • Listed securities in Consolidated Tin Mines Ltd with an estimated value of $900,000.

Assumptions
