PYBAR is pleased to announce that it has signed a Binding Term Sheet with mineral exploration company Exterra Resources for the joint profit share-based underground development of the high grade Second Fortune gold mine within the Linden gold project, 230km northwest of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The agreement gives PYBAR the exclusive right to a defined mining area and the current outlined Main Lode resource. Further economic resources outlined within the mining area can be included in the mine plan subject to agreement between Exterra and PYBAR.

The agreement is for a four year term with mining to commence within six months of receipt of all approvals necessary to commence production.

The proposed transaction is subject to an exclusivity period of four weeks from execution of the Binding Term Sheet within which the parties will negotiate definitive documentation.

Key terms of the Agreement:

  • PYBAR will provide all funding to develop the Second Fortune gold mine under a life-of-mine mining services contract based initially on the Main Lode Probable Reserve of 56,300 ounces at 9.7 g/t Au1.
  • PYBAR will pay Exterra a Net Profits Interest (NPI) at a rate of 30% until PYBAR has recovered its peak cash drawdown and 55% thereafter.
  • PYBAR will advance an initial $250,000 to Exterra as a pre-payment under the NPI no later than three months from commencement, subject to the satisfaction of conditions precedent.

The project is within 25km of PYBAR’s operations at the Red October and Deep South gold mines, which will deliver important logistical benefits to Second Fortune.
