KENTOR GOLD LTD
ACN 082 658 080
Andash Gold-Copper Project
-
Positive due diligence results
-
Option to purchase extended to end December 2009
Board support to exercise option to purchase Andash
Kentor Gold Ltd (Kentor or the Company) has completed the financial, technical and legal due diligence on the Andash gold-copper project in Kyrgyzstan. There are some items still to be addressed; however the process has shown the Andash project to be both economically robust and technically feasible. Kentor now plans to update and optimise the previous feasibility study; this process will be completed by March 2010.
The Kentor board and Aurum Mining PLC (the Vendor) have now agreed to extend the option agreement by a further three months. This will result in Kentor paying US$300,000 to the Vendor, of which US$150,000 will offset the final purchase price of US$10 million for the project and US$5 million for the mining fleet.
Furthermore, the Kentor board has given approval for conditional exercise of the option to purchase the project. The conditions are that suitable funding is arranged; confirmation from the Kyrgyz government that they do not wish to take up their pre-emptive right to acquire the project; and approval is obtained from both the Aurum Mining and Kentor shareholders.
Kentor expects the formal notification from the Kyrgyz government to be received imminently.
