Marketwired Canada
Southern Arc Minerals (TSX VENTURE:SA)(OTCQX:SOACF) ("Southern Arc") today
announced that the Company has amended the sale agreement and closed the sale of
its interest in the Taliwang project. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement,
Southern Arc's wholly-owned subsidiary Indotan Sumbawa Pte. Ltd. has sold its
90% share in the Indonesian company that owns the Taliwang project (remaining
10% held by the West Sumbawa Regency Government) to a prominent Indonesian
businessman (the "Purchaser"). The Purchaser has paid US$1,000,000 and granted a
5% net smelter royalty ("NSR") to Southern Arc. The Purchaser has the option to
buy back 3% of the NSR by paying Southern Arc US$3,000,000.
The Purchaser is required to make additional payments to Southern Arc to fulfill
the agreed purchase price. The Purchaser will pay Southern Arc 40% of gross
revenue generated from the Taliwang project, after payment of the Southern Arc
NSR, until the aggregate amount of such payments equals US$750,000.
Alternatively, the Purchaser has the option of making a one-time payment of
US$600,000 if the payment is made before January 12, 2015.
"We are pleased to have completed the Taliwang sale in today's challenging
market conditions, particularly as the net smelter royalty and buy back terms
still allow Southern Arc to participate in the development and future success of
the Taliwang project," said John Proust, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of
Southern Arc.
