At closing, the Company issued to Resource Re Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Till Capital Ltd. ("Till"), successor in title to AMB, 6,892,500 common shares of the Company having an aggregate value of US$500,000, and a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of US$4,500,000 bearing interest at 4% per annum and payable over a period of three years. The balance of the purchase price was satisfied by the grant of a royalty interest in each of its properties held at the closing.
In the course of a concurrent reorganization of AMB, Till acquired all of the Company's shares held by AMB(1). Accordingly, Till now owns directly and indirectly, 36,949,166 shares, or approximately 46% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares.
In 2013 a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") was completed on the Springer Mine and Mill which outlined a net present value of $22.8 million based on a 47% after-tax IRR and $29.8 MM in capital costs(2). Since 2007, $38 million has been spent on modernization, mill refurbishment and exploration(3). The Company is currently seeking a joint venture partner to operate the Springer Mine and Mill. The Company has today filed the PEA on SEDAR, entitled, "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Springer Tungsten Mine, Pershing County, Nevada, US (As Amended & Restated)", dated December 31, 2013 and prepared by DMT Geosciences Ltd. A copy of the report is available for download under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
Company Assets - Post Acquisition
On February 21, 2014, shareholders voted 97.3% in favor of the Acquisition and on March 28, 2014, AMB shareholders also voted in favor of the transaction as part of a broader reorganization. The Company's key assets now include:
* Springer Mine and Mill;
* Taylor Mine and Mill;
* Copper King property;
* Cornucopia property;
* Cordero property;
* Modoc property; and
* Seven additional Nevada properties.,
Update on Concurrent Financing
Completion of the previously announced private placement with Till for $1,800,000 USD has been extended and will conclude in May 2014.Extension of the closing provides an increased opportunity for initial drill results from the newly identified Taylor gold targets to be received before pricing of the placement is finalized. For further information on the current Taylor drill program refer to the Company's news release dated March 14, 2014.
