CALGARY, Jan. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Infinito Gold Ltd. ("Infinito Gold" or the "Company") announces that its wholly-owned indirect subsidiary in Costa Rica, Industrias Infinito S.A. ("IISA"), has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with an arm's length third party, Zandor Capital S.A. Colombia, (the "Purchaser"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Gran Colombia Gold Corp., whereby the Purchaser would acquire from IISA certain mine processing equipment ("Equipment") located in Nicaragua for cash consideration of USD $4,303,000 (the "Purchase Price").

The Equipment was originally purchased for use at IISA's Crucitas gold project in Costa Rica, but, as previously announced by the Company, a November 2011 ruling by the Tribunal Contencioso Administrativo (administrative court) in Costa Rica rescinded IISA's concession rights and environmental approvals. As a result, the Company has been unable to utilize the Equipment, and the sale of the Equipment will fund the Company's working capital requirements while it is reviewing its legal rights regarding Crucitas and strategic alternatives going forward.

Under the terms of the Agreement, which includes customary representations and warranties by the Company and the Purchaser, the Purchase Price is payable in two equal installments, with the first installment due on or before TSX Venture Exchange acceptance of the transaction, with the balance of the Purchase Price due on or before the earlier of the date that is 90 days after such acceptance or the date by which the majority of the equipment, by monetary value, is removed from its current storage site. The Equipment is being sold on an "as is, where is" basis with the Purchaser assuming all costs and associated risks pertaining to the relocation of the Equipment. The Company's obligations under the Agreement are subject to acceptance for filing of the Agreement by all relevant regulatory authorities having jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the TSX Venture Exchange) and all other necessary regulatory approvals, exemptions or consents.

The Company intends to use the Purchase Price to fund certain restructuring costs, certain trade credit balances, and the Company's ongoing working capital requirements as it continues to evaluate its legal rights and strategic alternatives going forward. To the extent that IISA may require equipment similar to the Equipment for any future operations in Costa Rica, the Company expects to be able to secure such equipment on commercially acceptable terms.

The Company also wishes to notify its stakeholders that, as of the date of this news release, it has not received any new information or any additional rulings from the Costa Rican legal system in relation to the Company's Crucitas gold project in Costa Rica.
