VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kenadyr Mining (Holdings) Corp. (TSX-V: KEN; OTC- MKTS: KNDYF; FRA: KM0) (the “Corporation” or “Kenadyr”) is pleased to announce the Corporation has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) in connection with a proposed option and joint venture agreement with Gold Mountains Asset Management Limited or its designated affiliate (“Gold Mountains”) in respect of the Borubai Project (the “Transaction”).
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, Kenadyr would grant to Gold Mountains an exclusive and sole option to acquire up to a 50% interest in the Borubai Project, (the “Option”). In order to exercise the Option, Gold Mountains would have right but not obligation to fund or directly incur not less than US$10,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Borubai Project, subject to certain minimum expenditure obligations.
Upon the termination of the Option or Gold Mountains earning its 50% interest in the Borubai Project, Kenadyr and Gold Mountains would form a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with respect to the Borubai Project with Kenadyr acting as the operator of the Joint Venture. Exploration would focus on both the South and East Zones with Zijin Mining Group Ltd. (“Zijin”) providing access and logistics to enable drilling of the South Zone from underground using Zijin’s mining infrastructure. The East Zone would continue to be drilled from surface.
The LOI is non-binding and the execution of a binding definitive agreement for the Transaction is conditional upon, among other things: (i) no material adverse changes in the business affairs or financial condition of Kenadyr or the Borubai Project, (ii) approval of the boards of directors of each of Kenadyr and Gold Mountains and all required regulatory and shareholder approvals, as applicable, (iii) completion of satisfactory due diligence by Gold Mountains, (iv) adequate and complete representations and warranties provided by Kenadyr to Gold Mountains and by Gold Mountains to Kenadyr, and (v) negotiation of a definitive agreement in connection with the Transaction on terms acceptable to Gold Mountains and Kenadyr. There is no assurance that the Transaction will proceed as currently proposed or at all.
Brian Lueck, Kenadyr Chief Executive Officer, states, “Kenadyr’s drilling program to date demonstrates the mineralization comprising the orebody found at the TBL Mine, operated by Zijin, continues strongly in two directions along strike onto Kenadyr’s Borubai License. The proposed joint venture with Zijin, as described today, will fund and facilitate further expansion and exploration drilling to completely delineate (to measured and indicated categories) both the South and East Zones on the Borubai License. This will allow us to fully unlock the value of these high-grade mineralized zones without further share equity dilution.
Drill holes in the South and East Zones were previously announced and have been highlighted by robust drill intersections including 40 meters at 6.17 g/t Au at the South Zone and 50 meters at 8.15 g/T Au at the East Zone.

Kenadyr Acquires Option on New Mineral Licenses: Targeting Large Black Shale Hosted Gold Deposits
8:30 am ET November 28, 2017 (Globe Newswire) Print
Kenadyr Mining (Holdings) Corp. (TSX-V:KEN) (the "Corporation" or "Kenadyr") is pleased to announce that it has entered into option agreements (the "Option Agreements") with Realgold Resources Corp. (the "Optionor") for the acquisition of 9 mineral exploration licenses (the "Licenses") covering approximately 1,200 square kilometers of the most prospective gold ground within the Middle Tien Shan carbonaceous shale belt of the Kyrgyz Republic. The licenses cover most of the highly prospective rocks (Riphean carbonaceous shales) and occur within a strike length of 800 km from west to east. These licenses contain approximately 80% of the exposed Upper Proterozoic black shales found in Kyrgyz Republic, that are not within a protected area (i.e. National Park).
Under the terms of the Option Agreements, Kenadyr, through its Kyrgyz subsidiaries, is required to advance as secured loans an aggregate of US$552,669.75 to certain subsidiaries of the Optionor. Upon completion of the advances and subject to compliance with all applicable laws of the Kyrgyz Republic, Kenadyr will be eligible to exercise its option to acquire the Licenses. During the period of the option, Realgold's subsidiaries will use the funds advanced under the Option Agreements to conduct exploration activities on the Licenses and to maintain the Licenses in good standing under Kenadyr's oversight.
Alexander Becker, the CEO and a director of Kenadyr is an officer of a material subsidiary of Realgold and accordingly has abstained from voting in connection with the approval of the Option Agreements by the Kenadyr Board of Directors. Kevin Ma, the CFO of Kenadyr, is also the CFO of Realgold. The transactions contemplated by the Option Agreements are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Table of licenses:
# Project Area Location License ID
(hectares)
1 Arpatektyr 10,978 East of Kumtor 5135
2 Taldysu-Sarlytash 10,177 East of Kumtor 5317
3 Kyilu-Irtash 12,026 East of Kumtor 5147
4 Akbelsuu 12,875 West of Kumtor 5132
5 Kashkasu-Sandalash 12,681 NE Chaarat 5137
6 Kokuibel 15,067 NE Chaarat 5133
7 Chiimtash 3,634 East of Chaarat 5144
8 Kokiirim-Bardambot 34,251 Central black shale segment 5149
9 Usta-Sai 10,220 Central black shale segment 5131
Kenadyr is in possession of a complete data set, compiled during the Soviet era, for all license areas. This dataset includes all data from thorough regional, with follow up local, exploration programs. The dataset includes all geological and geochemical maps, maps of soil sediment geochemistry, stream sediment and pan concentrate geochemistry, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, compiled geologic reports and maps of all rock chip and channel sample locations and results as well as all known mineral occurrences.
Area East of Kumtor - During the 2017 field season, the three licenses east of Kumtor were examined by an academic reconnaisance team:
Dr. Anatoly Gibsher, from the Novosibirsk Institute of Geology and Geophysics, and a well-known expert on gold deposits within the Asian and Siberian Upper Proterozoic carbonaceous shale formations, was the leader of the geological reconnaissance team. He stated: "The geological setting is very similar to that at Kumtor. Within the licenses, and extending for many tens of kilometers are intensively altered and pyritized carbonaceous shales which belong to the same formation that hosts the Kumtor deposit".
Area west of Kumtor - The Akbelsuu License covers all the outcropping favorable black shale units to the west of Kumtor. The area has seen very little exploration work.
North western (Chaarat) Areas - In the north west of Kyrgyzstan, Kenadyr has acquired the option to the licenses surrounding both the Chaarat gold deposit and the Kuru-Tegerek gold deposit (operated by China Gold). The licenses also cover the outcropping carbonaceous shales which occur on strike to the east of the Chaarat Gold deposit.
Central Kyrgyz licenses: Ustasai and Kokirim-Bardambot - The Ustasai license covers a large pull-apart (rotated and extended) segment of the Talas Fergana Fault, arguably the dominant structural feature of Tien Shan Mountains, with a dextral strike-slip fault displacement of 240km. In this pull-apart segment covered by the license, the rocks are intensely altered and bleached with alteration thicknesses of more than 500m. A strong airborne potassium anomalies occurs over the alteration zone.
The Kokirim-Bardambot license - The license covers an area of 342 sq.km of highly prospective ground where carbonaceous shales outcrop in multiple erosion windows. The rocks in the erosion windows are highly altered and pyritized yet they were never assayed for gold during the Soviet expeditions.
Kenadyr Summary and Strategy Statement
Kenadyr Mining is focused on creating shareholder value, both through project acquisition and exploration towards resource definition, within the Kyrgyz Republic. Kenadyr achieves a balance of risk with a blended portfolio.
The company owns the Borubai Project which hosts both the South Zone and East Zone (currently being drilled). Previous drilling included hole EZ-1-17 (50 meters at 8.15 g/t Au) from the East Zone and 40m @ 6.17 g/t Au in drill hole SZ-1-17, from the South Zone (see Kenadyr's news release dated November 14, 2017). These Zones are directly adjacent to the TBL Mine operated by Zijin.
Complementing this, the company holds an unrivaled ground position covering the bulk of the prospective Black Shale Hosted Gold ground in the Kyrgyz Republic.
Brian Lueck, P. Geo, a director of the Kenadyr and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.
