Asheba Option Agreement
23 June 2009
Glencar Mining plc ("Glencar" or "the Company"), the AIM and IEX
listed company with gold exploration interests in Africa, is pleased
to announce the completion of an Option Agreement with Adamus
Resources Limited (ASX:ADU) relating to its Asheba Project in Ghana.
The Asheba Prospecting Licence, which encompasses approximately 24
square kilometres in area, is located within a 30km radius of Adamus'
existing Salman deposit.
Glencar has carried out exploration on the Asheba Licence since the
mid 1990s. Some significant mineralisation has been established in
drilling programmes, but it was felt that considerable additional
drilling would be required to demonstrate the full economic potential
of the licence. Because of Glencar's commitment to its properties in
Mali at this time, it was decided to seek a partner for the Asheba
licence.
Adamus Resources Limited ("Adamus"), is a Perth-based exploration
company, whose main focus is on realising the economic potential of
its 90% owned Southern Ashanti Gold Project in Ghana, West Africa.
Drilling on the Southern Ashanti Gold Project has identified a gold
mineral resource of 30.2 million tonnes at 1.80 grams/tonne gold for
1,750,000 ounces of gold (Measured and Indicated) and 6.98 million
tonnes at 1.62 grams/tonne for 362,000 ounces of gold (Inferred).
The project comprises a planned open pit mining operation, a
processing facility and associated infrastructure to mine and process
ore from defined resources at the Salman - Anwia Property in the
Western Region of Ghana. Current estimates show the project to have a
minimum life of 10 years at an average production rate of 100,000oz
of gold per year. Any additional ore established on the Asheba
Property could be most economically extracted in conjunction with the
mine and plant at Salman - Anwia.
Terms of the Option Agreement
On signing the agreement Glencar has been issued with 100,000 Adamus
shares. The agreement provides Adamus with a 6 month period to review
project data. At end of 6 months, Adamus has the right to acquire a
70% interest in the licence in return for issuing Glencar with a
further 1,000,000 Adamus shares. Adamus will then have a further 2
year period to explore the licence area. If at the end of 2 year
period, Adamus wishes to acquire the remaining 30%, Adamus will issue
a further 2,000,000 shares to Glencar and in addition will grant to
Glencar a 2% Net Smelter Royalty on any production from the
property. If Adamus doesn't wish to proceed to acquire the
remaining 30%, Glencar has the right to buy the 70% back from Adamus
for US$50,000 in Glencar shares or to elect to sell
Glencar's remaining interest to Adamus for US$50,000 in Adamus
shares.
Glencar is pleased to become a shareholder in Adamus since we believe
it has a successful future. We believe the shares we expect to
receive under the Option Agreement will be of increasing value as the
Salman - Anwia Project is brought to production and any production
established in the future on the Asheba Property will bring a good
return under the provision of a 2% net smelter return royalty.
Adamus Resources Limited is listed on the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX), TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) and Frankfurt Stock
Exchange Open Market (FSE).
