New Oroperu Resources Strengthens Management Team and Appoints Jonathan Rubenstein to Board of Directors

08.09.2020  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, Sept. 8, 2020 - New Oroperu Resources Inc. (TSXV: ORO) (the "Company" or "New Oroperu") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jonathan Rubenstein as a director of New Oroperu Resources Inc.

"With his impressive 40 years of combined leadership, directorship, and extensive capital markets experience, Mr. Rubenstein will be an invaluable addition to New Oroperu as we continue to advance the Tres Cruces Project. His track record of success related to mergers and acquisitions, which included transactions with Barrick*, Kinross, Agnico Eagle, Orion Mine Finance and numerous transactions for Eldorado Gold, as well as his active participation in raising billions of dollars in financings for mining companies, will be of great benefit to New Oroperu Resources," commented Wayne Livingstone, President of New Oroperu.

*The Tres Cruces project is 100% owned by New Oroperu, subject to a 70% earn-in by Barrick.

Jonathan Rubenstein commented: "As New Oroperu approaches the end of the 2020 year and the deadline for Barrick's final decision either to exercise its option by proceeding to put Tres Cruces into production, or to return it to New Oroperu, there is an exciting range of opportunities coming up for New Oroperu. If Tres Cruces is returned, this is an ideal gold environment for us to develop the project ourselves, and/or to pursue strategic mergers and acquisitions which consolidate our holdings in the area of Tres Cruces. If Barrick does commit to production, we will have a solid base and, in the short term, cashflow, with which to develop further value. All of the alternatives are positive for the Company and I am excited to be joining the board on the eve of its pending evolution."

Mr. Rubenstein practiced law for 18 years and held a number of mining director positions during that time. In 1994, he became a full-time mining executive and mining director. He has served on numerous mining company boards during the last 40 years and was actively engaged in the strategic, commercial, governance and government relations aspects of permitting, property acquisition, exploration, development and operations for these companies. He has negotiated and completed property acquisitions, joint ventures, development agreements, financings and takeover bid transactions, for both major and junior companies and has dealt with foreign and Canadian domestic regulators, banks, and financial institutions, as well as the mining investment community. He has had active roles in dealings with local populations, in compensation matters, in the management of litigation and arbitrations, and in regulatory compliance. He was directly involved in negotiating or supervising acquisitions, mergers and takeover transactions totalling in excess of $5 Billion and, in addition, financings which raised more than $2.5 billion.

Mr. Rubenstein was instrumental in the sale of Aurelian Resources to Kinross in 2007 at a $1.2 billion valuation and the sale of Cumberland Resources at a $710 million valuation to Agnico Eagle. Prior to this, in November 2005, he and two other team members at Canico Resource Corp. completed the sale of Canico to Companhia Vale do Rio Doce for $940 million in cash. In 1999, Mr. Rubenstein and the team at Sutton Resources sold Sutton to Barrick at a $545 million valuation. In 2018, Mr. Rubenstein and the special committee which he chaired at Dalradian Resources sold Dalradian to Orion Mine Finance for $537 million.

Mr. Rubenstein recently retired as Chairman of Mag Silver and as a director of Eldorado Gold. He was also a director of Detour Gold while it acquired, financed, permitted, developed and operated the Detour Lake Gold Mine. He currently sits as a director on the boards of Roxgold Inc. and Sable Resources Ltd.

New Oroperu also announces that it has issued 500,000 incentive stock options to Jonathan Rubenstein in his capacity as a director of the Company, entitling him to purchase 500,000 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of CAD$2.50 per share for a period of five years, subject to regulatory approval.
