The letter of intent outlines the terms and conditions under which NWT would be prepared to proceed with negotiating and entering into a formal definitive agreement whereby the Vendor and its shareholders would grant to NWT or a subsidiary the right to acquire a net 95% interest in the Block in exchange for payments to the Vendor and its shareholders and meeting certain exploration commitments. Under the terms of the letter of intent, NWT has until the Expiry Date to evaluate the Block further before deciding if it wishes to proceed with a definitive and binding acquisition agreement. After its due diligence and evaluation of the project, if NWT decides to enter into a definitive agreement, the Company will undertake a multi-stage exploration program estimated to be completed by June 30, 2015.
The letter of intent provides NWT with exclusivity until the earlier of the entering into of a definitive agreement and one year following the Expiry Date.
About Coal in the Tete Province, Mozambique
The Company believes that the Tete Province of Mozambique is the world's premier emerging coal producing region. With two newly developed operating mines, several projects under consideration, and several billion tonnes of newly defined coal resources, consisting of both thermal and coking coal, independent reporters such as AllAfrica.com estimate that within five years over 100 million tonnes of coal per year will be mined from the Tete Province, making Mozambique one of the world's largest coal exporters.
Several major coal producers have become interested in coal projects in the Tete Province. Vale of Brazil and Rio Tinto have recently developed coal mines in the province and AIM-listed Beacon Hill Resources (BHR) has recently announced the results of a definitive feasibility study on its Minas Moatize coking and thermal coal project, which confirmed a "technically and economically robust" coal mine.
