60:40 vs. 40:60 It had been my impression the offer Keith brought in the spring was 60% of the gold revenues to Zhaojin and Core's share would be 40%. When I look at old reports it confirms my impression:
"The right to earn up to 60% interest in Dynasty through the expenditure of US $62 million over a period of 3 years to construct an underground mine and processing plant. It was expected the mine and processing plant would process 2,000 tons per day with Core Gold would retaining 40% following the declaration of commercial production."
The deal reported in this morning's news release tilts the ratio in favor of Core, 40% to the partner, 60% to Core. Quoting from this morning's news release from Core Gold Inc:
The original September 2, 2019 non-binding proposal from the Interested Party had the following key terms (the "Original September Proposal"):
- C$0.225 in cash per Core Gold common share.
- Issuance by Core Gold of a convertible security prior to completion of the transaction for gross proceeds of C$5M which would automatically convert to Core Gold common shares at C$0.225 per share within 60 days of issuance.
- The proceeds from the convertible security would have had a restricted use of proceeds, with C$1M being used for working capital and C$4M being available only for specific debt repayment.
- Creation of a new company ("SpinCo") which would contain all of Core Gold's projects (Zaruma, Portovelo, Copper Duke and Linderos), other than the Dynasty Goldfield Project, and which would be spun-out to Core Gold shareholders but would be unlisted. The Interested Party would have been entitled to one (1) board seat on the board of directors of SpinCo.
- The Interested Party would invest US$10M into the SpinCo for a 19.9% share ownership position.
Creation of a joint venture in respect of mining and processing oxide ore from the Dynasty Goldfield Project with 60% of the profit to SpinCo and 40% of the profit to the Interested Party
Furthermore I see no detail in the news release suggesting that the December offer altered this particular specification here from the September offer.
Can anyone comment on this?
