Update on the Company's Pampamali Joint Venture
Further to the announcement of 7 December 2015, the Company
announces that it is vigorously making all efforts to complete the
outstanding matters regarding the valid exercise of its option to
acquire a 51% interest in the Pampamali Project (the "Option"), as
it is legally entitled to do under the terms of the amended Joint
Venture Agreement (as announced on 8 April 2015) with the current
owners of the Pampamali Project (the "Vendors").
Under the terms of the amended Joint Venture Agreement the
Vendors are legally obliged to transfer the title of the tenements
at Pampamali to a new locally incorporated company ("HOLDCO"),
whose shares are to be held 51% by Gold Hunter SAC (the Company's
100% owned Peruvian subsidiary) and 49% by the Vendors.
Notwithstanding the Company having exercised its option to acquire
a 51% interest in the Pampamali Project (announced on 1 July 2015)
the Vendors have, to date, failed to undertake such a transfer and
continue to obstruct the legal process.
The Company has engaged a new highly qualified local agent to
expedite the process and has given the Vendors until close of
businewes (Peruvian time) on 29 February 2016 to agree to comply
with the terms of the ammended Joint Venure Agreement. In the event
that the Vendors do not agree to comply by this time, as they are
obliged to do, the Company will commence formal arbitration
proceedings through the American Chamber of Commerce of Peru. In
the event that the Vendors agree to comply with the terms of the
amended Joint Venture Agreement the Board anticipates it will take
up to two months to complete the legal formalities of the transfer
of title to HOLDCO. In the event that the Company commences
arbitration proceedings, the Board has been advised that such
arbitration proceedings can take up to 18 months. However, the
board of Hunter believe that the comencement of arbitration will
force a resolution much earlier.
As announced on 3 July 2014, certain conditions under Rule 9 of
the AIM Rules for Companies were placed on Hunter at the time of
its admission following the successful reverse takeover of Gold
Hunter S.A.C. (the "Conditions"). These included a requirement for
the Company to exercise its options to acquire a 51% interest in
the Pampamali Project. Details of the Conditions are set out in the
Appendix to this announcement.
Notwithstanding its legally binding exercise of the Option and
the Company announcing on 1 July 2015 that the first two Conditions
had been satisfied, the failure of the Vendors to complete the
transfer of the title of the Pampamali Project to HOLDCO means that
the first two Conditions have not in substance yet been
satisfied.
In light of the circumstances it has been agreed that the
Company will have until 4 July 2016 (being the original date by
which Condition 2 was to be satisfied) to fully satisfy Conditions
1 and 2. Full satisfaction of Conditions 1 and 2 will require: i)
the Vendors transfering the title of the tenements at Pampamali to
HOLDCO; and ii) Gold Hunter SAC owning a 51% interest in HOLDCO. In
the event that Conditions 1 and 2 are not fully satisfied by 4 July
2016 the ordinary shares of 1 pence each (the "Ordinary Shares")
will be suspended from trading on AIM at 0730 on 5 July 2016.
Trading in the Ordinary Shares will remain suspended until the
Conditions have been fully satisfied. In the event the Conditions
are not fully satisfied within six months of suspension then the
admission to trading on AIM of the Ordinary Shares will be
cancelled.
In the event that the shares are suspended the Company will
consider what other legal action is available to it and what
reparations can be made by the Vendors.
Further announcements will be made as aprropriate.
