Erin Ventures Inc. (TSX-Venture: EV) reports that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent, which outlines the terms of an Earn-in Option Agreement whereby Mountain Man Minerals Corp. (“MMM”), a private British Columbia company, may acquire the Deep River Gold Project from Erin. While Erin remains optimistic about the potential at Deep River, the sale of this asset will allow Erin to continue to focus on its highest priority projects.
MMM may earn 100% interest in Deep River in consideration for a total of $250,000 cash, $600,000 worth of shares, a $3 million work expenditure over 4 years, and an ongoing net smelter return (NSR) payment based on production.
The key terms of the LOI are as follows:
- MMM shall keep the property payments in good standing upon signing the Definitive Agreement.
- The total NSR (including Erin, landowners, and all other interested parties) for the Deep River Project will not exceed 5.25%.
- MMM may acquire a 100% ownership in the Project by way of payment of $850,000. The schedule of payment is as follows:
i. When a Definitive Agreement is signed between MMM and Erin, MMM will pay $50,000 cash to Erin to secure an exclusive 6-month option to acquire 100% of the Property. This $50,000 accrues towards the $850,000 purchase price of the Project.
ii. Concurrent with obtaining a listing on the TSX-V Exchange, MMM shall pay $100,000 in cash and $300,000 in MMM common shares to Erin. The price per share will be equal to the price of MMM’s current private placement offering. These shares will be subject to a 12 month hold.
iii. On or before the one year anniversary of listing MMM shall pay an additional $100,000 in cash and $300,000 in MMM common shares to Erin. The price per share will be issued to EVI at the 20-day moving average trading price, but not less than $0.10 per share, with 1/3 of the shares having a 4 month hold, 1/3 of the shares having a 12 month hold, and 1/3 of the shares having an 18 month hold.
iv. Upon fulfilling the cash payment of $250,000 and Share Payment of $600,000, and all work commitments of $3 million, MMM shall be deemed to have earned and be vested with 100% interest in the project (subject to the NSR).
v. MMM will commit a minimum of $500,000 in exploration expenditures in the first year and in years two through four MMM must incur an additional $2,500,000 in exploration expenditures.
