KNB Kinbauri Gold Corp Com Npv

OTTAWA, ONTARIO (TSX VENTURE: KNB)(FRANKFURT: 3KG.DE) is pleased to announce that Anglo Pacific Group (APF.L) has agreed to purchase a Net Smelter Return from Kinbauri for C$7.5M.

The agreement is an important strategic milestone for Kinbauri as it allows the Company to complete drilling and development plans at its El Valle/Carles mines and mill in northwestern Spain with minimum dilution of share capital. Most significantly, the injection of $7.5M of non-dilutive capital at this point in time will allow Kinbauri the option to complete its feasibility study by November of this year without further equity placements. The delivery of the study will then allow the Company to finance the remainder of its pre-production and production development by non-dilutive alternatives.

Under the terms of the agreement, Anglo Pacific will fund Kinbauri, through the issuance of a convertible debt instrument in the amount of $7.5M. Principal is to be repaid through a 2.5% net smelter return royalty on Kinbauri's El Valle/Carles project located in Asturias, Spain. The royalty increases to 3% in the event gold prices exceed $1,100 an ounce. Upon repayment of principal, the instrument converts to a net smelter return royalty. In the event that production from the El Valle mill does not exceed a rate of 90,000 ounces of gold per year on or before Dec 31, 2012, the outstanding principal can be converted at Anglo Pacific's option into common shares at a price equal to the lower of $0.73 or the discounted market price at the time of conversion. In connection with the transaction, Kinbauri has agreed to issue 1.5 million warrants to Anglo Pacific; each warrant is exercisable into one common share for a period of two years from the date of closing at an exercise price of $0.90. M Partners, the agent in the transaction, will be paid a fee of 3.5% of the gross amount of the debt instrument. The final agreement is subject to regulatory approval, title verification and definitive documentation.

Dr Vern Rampton, President and CEO of Kinbauri commented, "Our agreement with Anglo-Pacific is a solid endorsement of Kinbauri's plan to quickly re-start the 2,000 tpd El Valle mill. We are most pleased that our corporate goal of achieving production at El Valle by 2010 is now within reach without any further dilutive financing."

Anglo Pacific Group PLC generates returns for shareholders by receiving royalties from coal mines in Australia operated by BHP and Rio Tinto.
