"This is an exceptional opportunity for the Company moving forward", stated Chris Robbins, Anglo Swiss' Vice President. "The acquisition combines a huge exploration land package, targeting expertise and turn-key entry into a new country. We are very excited to begin exploration in Sweden".
Key Attributes
Sweden is a leading miner and major gold, silver, copper and iron ore producer in the EU and globally ranks 2nd in a 2012 Fraser Institute Survey for most attractive jurisdictions for mineral exploration and development. Sweden offers great infrastructure for exploration and excellent potential for new discoveries particularly under the extensive but thin layer of glacial till that masks bedrock over large areas of Sweden.
The Gungnir properties consist of the Nordanas and Knaften projects located along the southeastern extension of the "Gold Line". The main target is intrusion-related gold mineralization, an attractive but under-explored deposit type. Examples of this type of gold deposit include the Pogo, Fort Knox mine, and Donlin in Yukon/Alaska, and Bjorkdal in Sweden which recently produced its millionth ounce of gold. Initial prospecting by Gungnir Resources has identified large clusters of anomalous gold and important pathfinder elements in locally derived boulders and in outcrop. No drilling is reported on either property in the Swedish Geological Survey archived drill hole database. A $200,000 minimum exploration budget is proposed for 2014.
Transaction Highlights
The consideration to be paid is $300,000 (to cover land acquisition costs and exploration expenditures to date), issuing 32,586,512 shares of Anglo Swiss, representing a 15% equity interest in Anglo Swiss after giving effect to the acquisition, and the retention of a 2.4% net smelter royalty ("NSR") by three of the shareholders of Gungnir with a buyout option of 50% on the NSR for $1,000,000. Closing is expected by no later than May 30, 2014 or such other date agreed to by all parties.
Jari Paakki, CEO of Anglo Swiss is a minority investor in Gungnir and will be issued $30,000 cash, 6,517,303 shares of Anglo Swiss and a one-third interest in the NSR on closing (the "Insider Consideration"). The Insider Consideration issuable to Mr. Paakki is exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") by virtue of the exemptions contained in section 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the Insider Consideration to be issued to Mr. Paakki does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Disinterested shareholder approval to the issuance of the Insider Consideration will be sought at the Annual and Special Meeting of the Company to be held in Toronto on March 28, 2014.
Completion of the transaction is subject to execution of a formal agreement and a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, financing of at least $500,000, confirmatory due diligence, the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, and approval of the shareholders of Anglo Swiss.
Jari Paakki, P.Geo., CEO of Anglo Swiss, is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.
