Sparton Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SRI) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that its subsidiary, Sparton Energy Inc. ("SEI") has executed a Letter Of Intent
(LOI) with a private investor, where under the investor will purchase a
debenture in SEI in the sum of C$1.7 million (the "Transaction"). The proceeds
of the debenture will be used to complete SEI's acquisition of an initial 51%
share interest in Linxing 306 Huajun Coal Co. Ltd. Lincang City (" Huajun "),
which owns the profitable Huajun coal and germanium producing operations in
Yunnan, China. This will result in SEI taking over control of the operations and
the cash flow at Huajun, which latter is currently estimated to be approximately
USD$50,000 per month based on recent concentrate sales. SEI has completed the
sourcing of experienced technical and financial staff to effect transition of
the operational and management changes.
Under the non binding terms of the LOI, the investor will receive monthly
revenue from the Huajun operations. As investor repayment options, SEI or the
investor may elect, at or 30 days prior to debenture maturity, to have the
principal of the debenture plus a 25% premium paid in cash, or to have the
principal of the debenture converted into shares of SEI at a 50% premium in
value, if SEI is in the process of becoming a publicly listed entity. In the
event that neither of these alternatives is chosen, the investor may elect to
hold a direct 34% share interest in Huajun.
The debenture will mature 21 months from closing the Transaction and is subject
to all applicable third party and regulatory approvals and such other terms as
are customary and mutually agreed to between SEI and the investor, according to
definitive documentation related thereto. The anticipated closing date of the
Transaction is July 15, 2009.
Closing of the Transaction is subject to various conditions precedent, including
receipt of all required regulatory, corporate and third party approvals.
