of Project
London, June 3, 2024. Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the "Company") (TSXV/AIM:OMI),
announces an update on the status of the Company's flagship Anzá Project ("Project") in
Colombia.
The Project is the subject of an Exploration Agreement with Venture Option ("Exploration
Agreement") with Colombian company Minera Monte Águila SAS ("MMA"). MMA is itself a
50/50 joint venture between Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") and Agnico Eagle Mines
Limited ("Agnico") and is the Colombian vehicle by which these two companies jointly exercise
their rights and obligations under the Exploration Agreement in respect of the Project. MMA is
the current operator of the Project.
As announced on March 25 th, 2024, Orosur entered into a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI")
with MMA and affiliates of Newmont and Agnico, that provided for the acquisition of MMA,
resulting in Orosur acquiring, directly or indirectly, a 100% legal and beneficial ownership of
the Project ("Acquisition"). The proposed consideration for the Acquisition is a 1.5% net
smelter royalty and deferred cash payments which are all wholly contingent on future
production.
Discussions are progressing and negotiations and the finalisation of definitive documentation
will extend into June. The Acquisition is subject to approval by the TSXV and compliance with
certain Canadian securities laws, including Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of
Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), given that one of the parties
is Newmont which is a 14% shareholder in Orosur (and therefore a related party under the
rules for both the TSXV, AIM and MI 61-101).
Logistics and Planning
While final negotiations continue, the Company's technical and commercial teams have, over
the last month, been undertaking the necessary planning and community consultation to allow
it to reassume operatorship of the Project as quickly as possible after c ompletion of the
Acquisition.
