Revolution Signs Agreement to Sell the Concepcion Property to Minera Rio Tinto for US$4,000,000
Revolution's focus in Mexico is gold, silver and copper. Given that the Concepcion property is primarily a zinc exploration property, it was deemed a non-core asset for Revolution.
"The sale of the Concepcion property to Minera Rio Tinto will provide the Company with non-dilutive capital to advance additional deals within our Mexican project generator model," states President and CEO Aaron Keay, "We will continue our capital preservation plan in these challenging markets, while focusing our efforts on executing additional joint venture or property sale agreements."
Under the terms of the Agreement, the sale price is payable to Revolution by Minera Rio Tinto as follows:
- a deposit of US$200,000 that has been delivered into escrow and is refundable only in the limited circumstance described below
- US$800,000 at the closing of the sale, which is expected to be 60-90 days from this announcement
- US$1,000,000 nine months after the closing date
- US$1,000,000 twelve months after the closing date
- US$1,000,000 fifteen months after the closing date
Completion of the transaction is subject to completion of the previously announced purchase by Revolution of Lake Shore Gold Corp's interests in the Mexico property portfolio (see Revolution news release dated January 30th, 2013), which includes the Concepcion property, and is also subject to a 60 day due diligence period. The US$200,000 deposit referred to above was paid into escrow on signing, and will be released to Revolution unless the transaction with Lake Shore Gold Corp. does not complete. The Lake Shore Gold transaction is expected to close early in May.
