(TSX VENTURE: RHR) ('Redhill' or the 'Company') has received a notice of intention from its joint venture partner Mutiny Gold Ltd. ('Mutiny') (ASX: MYG) that it wishes to expedite its right to acquire a 100% ownership of the Gullewa Gold Project in Western Australia. Redhill will retain a 10% net profit interest from production.
Under the terms of the Gullewa farm-in Option Agreement ('the Agreement') between Redhill's subsidiary, ATW Gold Corp Australia Pty Ltd ('ATW Australia') ('Redhill'), and Mutiny Gold Ltd. ('Mutiny'), whereby Mutiny may earn a 70% interest in the Gullewa Copper-Gold Project in Western Australia by paying, to ATW Australia, a total of AUD$9,000,000 on or before October 24, 2011. Refer to news release of July 20, 2010 for further information.
Redhill's 100% interest in the Gullewa Project was originally acquired from Sherwin Iron Ltd. (formerly 'Batavia Mining Ltd.') under the terms of an agreement (the 'Underlying Agreement') dated April 18, 2008 as amended.
Mutiny has notified Redhill that, by July 24, 2011, it intends to forward AUD$4,000,000 to Sherwin Iron Ltd, on behalf of Redhill, thus fulfilling Redhill's obligations to earn 100% of Gullewa. Mutiny intends to pay an additional $2,000,000 to Redhill to earn Mutiny's 70% interest in Gullewa.
Mutiny has advised Redhill that following the transfer of the 70% interest in the tenements to Mutiny, Mutiny intends to pay Redhill a further $4,000,000 upon completion of a positive feasibility study, bringing Mutiny's interest to 100% subject to a 10% net profit interest on all future production payable to Redhill.
Graham Harris, Chairman, comments, 'We are pleased that Mutiny has served notice of intent to acquire the remaining interest in Gullewa. Upon completion of the accelerated terms of the Gullewa acquisition, Redhill will net AUD$6,000,000 and retain a 10% net profit interest. These funds combined with the $4,000,000 of current working capital will be used to advance our current portfolio of properties and to consider further acquisitions.'
