Akoase Gold Project Sale Update
Viking Mines Limited (ASX: VKA) (“Viking” or the “Company”), is pleased to advise that it has now entered into a Deed of Acknowledgement ( Deed ) with ARL and BXC Ghana that both confirms the original USD10 million sale’s consideration and guarantees the payment of the remaining cash consideration of USD 6.0 million.
Features of Deed include:
1. An agreed payment schedule of
-
USD2 million – already paid,
-
USD1 million to be paid by 31 May 2017,
-
USD2 million to be paid by 30 June 2017;
-
and USD3 million to be paid by 31 December 2017
-
a further USD2 million via royalties from production.
Each payment date is subject to a 30 day buffer before ARL/BXC Ghana are considered to be in default and penalty interest applies.
2. The Deed confirms that the sale is no longer subject to termination under any possible application of warranty/termination clause contained in the original sale agreement.
3. BXC Ghana now guarantees payment. A change in ownership of the purchaser, Ghanaian registered mining company, ARL, from private equity to BXC Ghana has caused some delay, but has resulted in this corporate guarantee for the payment of the balance of the sales proceeds
