Marketwired
Timberline Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:TBR)(NYSE Amex:TLR)
("Timberline" or the "Company") announced today that it has signed
an amended non-binding Letter of Intent to increase its ownership
stake in the Butte Highlands Gold Project from 50-percent to
100-percent, acquiring the remaining interest in Butte Highlands
JV, LLC ("BHJV") from its joint venture partner, Highland Mining,
LLC ("Highland Mining") as previously announced on April 10,
2012.
The revised terms of the agreement call for Timberline to
acquire the remaining 50-percent interest in BHJV in exchange for
issuance of shares of the Company's common stock, not to exceed 5%
of the common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of
closing, along with a Net Smelter Return (NSR) production royalty
of 5% on all production from Butte Highlands, and a future cash
payment to Highland Mining of $6 million to be made no later than 2
years subsequent to the commencement of commercial production at
Butte Highlands. Consistent with the original agreement, Highland
Mining will completely cancel its outstanding loan, including
principal and interest, to BHJV for more than $24-million of
development costs incurred at the project to-date. The deal is
expected to close in the current quarter, subject to standard
closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including the approval
of the NYSE Amex and the TSX Venture Exchange.
Highland Mining is controlled by Ron Guill, who is also a
director of the Company and the Company's largest shareholder.
