AAA Energy Inc. Enters Into Earn-In Arrangement on China Moly Prospect
AAA Energy Inc. Enters Into Earn-In Arrangement on China Moly Prospect
AAA Energy Inc. (OTCBB: AAAE) (FRANKFURT: AAV)
(WKN: A0MUFJ), is pleased to announce that, through its China adviser Siu
Man Kwan, the company has executed an agreement with Guangdong Da Hua
Mining Enterprise Limited ("Da Hua") to earn-in up to a 75% equity interest
in the Lechang Shanmudong Mine ("Shanmudong") hereafter referred to as the
"Property."
Located in Guangdong Province, China, the Property is approximately 32
kilometers northeast of the township of Lechang. It can be reached by
traveling east from Lechang along a system of highways and paved roads.
Shanmudong (Exploration License No.: 4400000730138) comprises a brownfields
molybdenum-rich exploration concession area of 9.31 square kilometers and
is undergoing significant artisan mining on over 20 exposed high-grade
veins in the area. Prior work undertaken by the Guangdong Provincial Bureau
of Geology and Mineral Resources report sample grades at Shanmudong of up
to 1.11% copper and 0.34% molybdenum. This mine area, visited by Dr. Earl
Abbott, our President, and his geological staff during both his November
2007 and March 2008 due diligence trips, will be our initial area of focus.
Under the terms of the earn-in arrangement, AAA Energy can acquire an
initial 48% undivided equity interest in the Property by completing within
a 2-year period an investment of RMB25 million (approximately US$3.4
million) in a newly-formed Chinese company ("Newco") that will hold the
exploration and production licenses underlying the Property. Of the total
RMB25 million invested, RMB10 million will be expended towards the approval
by the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and
transfer of a 30-year exploration and production license underlying the
property into Newco. The balance RMB15 million will be utilized by Newco
towards exploration, production and development expenditures on the
Property.
Upon the completion of the initial earn-in investment, the Company can also
acquire an additional 27%, for a total of 75%, by paying Da Hua an
additional RMB15 million (approximately US$2 million) in cash or, at the
option of Da Hua, its equivalent value in shares of AAA Energy.
Two summary geology reports on the Property have been provided by Da Hua
and the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources to AAA
Energy. All were in Chinese and is being translated into English. Once
completed, the company will disclose such data and interpretation in
subsequent press releases.
