Variation to Manica Acquisition Agreement

Highlights

  • Extension of payment date to September 30, 2015 in respect of the buyback or cancellation of existing Consideration Shares (25 million ordinary shares) and Deferred Consideration of Cash and shares held by Pan African Resources.

Mozambique-focused emerging gold producer, Auroch Minerals NL (ASX: AOU) ( Auroch or the Company ), is pleased to advise it has reached agreement with Pan African Resources plc ( Pan African ) to extend the date to September 30, 2015 by which the Company must pay the remaining A$1.65 million cash consideration for the buyback or cancellation of Pan African’s existing Consideration Shares (25 million ordinary shares) and Deferred Consideration of Cash and shares, including its right to Deferred Cash Consideration.

Auroch will make the following payments which will be offset against the balance owing to Pan African upon completion of the acquisition:

  • A$150,000 prior to 30 June 2014; and

  • A$50,000 prior to 30 September 2014.

To date, Auroch has paid A$350,000 against the initial $2 million sum owing to Pan African. Following payment of the above extension payments prior to 30 September 2014, the balance of A$1,450,000 will be payable to Pan African no later than 30 September 2015. In consideration for the extension of the payment date, Auroch has agreed to pay Pan African a fee of A$200,000 at the time of final payment, being 30 September 2015 ( Additional Fee ). If the outstanding balance is made prior to 30 September 2014 the Additional Fee is not payable and only the balance of A$1,450,000 is payable. In addition, the Company has agreed that 15% of funds raised under any equity raising will be allocated to reducing the balance owing to Pan African.

“We’re very pleased with Pan African’s continued support of the Company. This agreement with Pan African to extend the final payment date to September 2015 will afford Auroch flexibility with its capital management requirements as we move to complete Stage 1 of the DFS[1] at the Manica Gold Project.” Chairman, Glenn Whiddon stated.
