Globex Signs Chibougamau Standstill Agreement and Pockets Cash
Rouyn‐Noranda, Quebec, Canada. GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1M – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Xetra Stock Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX International) wishes to inform shareholders that it has signed a sixty (60) day standstill as regards our Chibougamau land package, previously described in press releases dated November 1st and 22nd, 2010 and January 6th and 13th, 2011.
Globex recently received the NI 43‐101 Technical Report on the Berrigan polymetallic property in Chibougamau and instructed council to proceed with the paper work and submissions required to support the spin‐off of the Chibougamau assets to Globex shareholders. In the meanwhile, we were approached by a third party which has, over a long period, expressed an interest in our Chibougamau assets, an interest which we rebuffed numerous times due to our stated intent to spin‐off the assets to our shareholders. This time, the conversation centered on what they would need to do in order to have a standstill during which they would perform due diligence upon the Chibougamau assets. It was ultimately agreed that Globex would sign a sixty (60) day standstill in exchange for a non‐refundable cash payment of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000) on the understanding that neither party is obliged to reach a formal agreement after the due diligence period.
Globex informed the third party that any future agreement must equal or exceed the benefits contemplated by Globex in the spin‐off scenario including but not limited to a significant share distribution to Globex shareholders and to Globex, a retained interest and royalty in the properties by Globex, significant exploration and/or development expenditures, etc. This scenario was agreed upon by both parties.
Globex’s view is that in the worst case, we do not reach a definitive agreement with the third party and are $150,000 ahead, a sum which will cover a good part of our spin‐off costs when we proceed with said transaction. In the best case scenario, we achieve our objective which is to realize the value of the assets through partially separating them from Globex, placing a dividend in shareholders hands, seeing significant investment in the assets and focused asset management while ensuring Globex a continued retained interest in the assets including but not limited to a Gross Metal Royalty (GMR).
We hope shareholders agree with our strategy in this matter and the 60 day delay it entails.
