Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:MJX) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Développement Minier Durable Haiti S.A. ("DDMH"), a private company, for the sale of 100% of Majescor's interest in the SOMINE SA shares held by its wholly owned subsidiary SIMACT Alliance Copper-Gold Inc. ("SACG"). SACG owns 77% of the outstanding common shares of SOMINE SA.
In exchange for Majescor's interest in SOMINE SA, the Company will receive a 2% royalty on each of the two Mining Exploitation Permits (PEM) held by SOMINE. DDMH will retain the right to purchase at any time the royalties in whole or in part in the amount of $1,000,000 for 1% per royalty. The divesture of SOMINE SA to DDMH will allow Majescor to reduce its current obligations by approximately $2,673,000.
"Majescor is pleased with this transaction as it simplifies our balance sheet while we continue to look for other business opportunities as stated in our news release of April 3, 2014. We wish our Haitian partner success in developing these assets which are important to the Haitian economy", stated Mr. C. Tucker Barrie, CEO.
