21.01.2013  |  CNW

TSX-V Trading Symbol: FMG

VANCOUVER, Jan. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - First Mexican Gold Corp. (the "Company" or "FMG") (TSX-V: FMG, Frankfurt: 21M) is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-binding letter agreement with Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. ("BVN") (NYSE: BVN, BVL: BVN), pursuant to the terms of which BVN has been granted the right, for a period of 60 days from the signing, to complete due diligence and the right, at BVN's discretion, to negotiate terms and sign a definitive agreement with FMG to earn a 70% interest in the Company's 100% owned Guadalupe project. The objective of this proposed transaction is to further develop the Guadalupe property in Mexico, to provide capital for the Company and significantly expand the exploration program.  The Company retains the Panda claim block for future exploration.

The FMG claim blocks are located along a trend of producing mines in the Sierra Madre Occidental, including the Mulatos mine of Alamos Gold Inc., Dolores mine of Pan American Silver Corp and Ocampo mine of Minera Frisco, S.A.B. de C.V.  The property is also contiguous to Corex Gold Corp (CGE -TSX-V) Santana Property where Corex and Vale are now drilling subsequent to the option agreement finalized in December 2012.

Terms

Provided that BVN is satisfied with the results of its due diligence, it is anticipated the definitive agreement will grant BVN an option to acquire a 70% undivided interest in the Guadalupe project by BVN making payments to FMG totaling $5,000,000 within a four year period, and BVN completing the drilling of 11,000 meters within a four year period. In addition to the minimum required meters to be drilled BVN will conduct mapping, sampling and ground geophysics as required to best access the property potential and target drill locations. The terms of the definitive agreement will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.  In order to facilitate matters for the Company, BVN has agreed to enter into a convertible loan arrangement, pursuant to the terms of which BVN has agreed to loan the sum of $250,000 to FMG, which loan is automatically convertible into 2,777,778 common shares of FMG at the price of $0.09 per share in the event a definitive agreement is not concluded within the 60-day period.  The $250,000 will be advanced by BVN to FMG within two business days of FMG obtaining TSX Venture Exchange approval to the convertible loan and will be used to fund general operations.  In the event a definitive agreement is concluded within the 60-day period, the convertible loan will be terminated and credited towards the first cash payment payable to FMG.

"The Company is very pleased to have a company such as BVN as a strategic partner to further advance the Guadalupe property to its next phase of development " said Jim Voisin, President and Chief Executive Officer of FMG.  Mr. Voisin adds: "we remain committed to our shareholders to build a good resource base in what we believe to be the high potential Guadalupe property."
