Aldridge Achieves Significant Land Acquisition Milestone

06.03.2017  |  Business Wire

Aldridge Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: AGM) (“Aldridge” or the “Company”) today announced that a key milestone in the ongoing State-led compulsory land acquisition court process has been achieved. At a recent hearing, the Court reached a final land pricing decision on 13 land parcels representing 151,015 square meters. The Court determined a price of Turkish Lira (“TRY”) 6.19 per square meter for irrigated land and TRY3.05 per square meter for non-irrigated land, for an average of approximately TRY4.60 per square meter for this group of parcels. Following the classification of these parcels to Treasury land, Aldridge will have acquired title to or have right to access approximately 93.0% of the Yenipazar project area.

The Court determined price is significantly lower than the Company’s voluntary offer of TRY5.1 per square meter upon land title transfer plus an additional deferred payment of US$1.35 per square meter. At the current exchange rate of USD/TRY 3.70, the Company’s total offer amounts to approximately TRY10.1 per square meter.

The Company believes that this decision sets a precedent for upcoming hearings related to the remaining 613,089 square meters of land and supports the Company’s expectation that the land acquisition will be completed in 2017, subject to available funds.

The Company will fund the State’s purchase of the applicable parcels within 15 days of the hearing. On March 30, 2017, the Company expects the Court to notify the Land Office to classify the land as Treasury land. Aldridge will then have full access rights in accordance with Turkish mining law.
