Polo Resources Limited
("Polo" or the "Company")
Management Agreement Signed with AmPat for Mongolia Assets
Agreement and proposed Peabody JV to allow Polo to focus on Uranium portfolio
Polo Resources (AIM: PRL), the mining and investment company with interests in
coal and uranium, announces that it has entered into a performance fee agreement
with American Patriot International, LLC ("AmPat"), of Evansville, Indiana, to
manage Polo's investment in Mongolia. AmPat's executives have more than a
quarter century of experience in the development and operation of surface and
underground coal mines.
AmPat has extensive joint venture operating experience with both private and
public international companies such as Chevron Corporation and Peabody Energy
Corporation ("Peabody"), with which Polo is forming the Peabody-Polo Resources
joint venture for all of its Mongolian assets that will be managed under this
agreement.
The management agreement with AmPat, which is subject to the formation of the
joint venture with Peabody, will allow Polo to focus on building its portfolio
of uranium interests, a sector where Polo's management team has extensive
experience and a track record of success.
AmPat's operating style is focused on profitability, controlling capital and
creating long term value. As partner and operator of Black Beauty Coal Company
("Black Beauty") the executives developed and grew 10 operating mines to over 25
million tons of annual production per year. This was accomplished with
eighty-eight successive profitable quarters creating substantial long-term value
to its shareholders. When Peabody, a partner for a number of years, acquired its
final interest, Black Beauty was the largest producer in the U.S. Illinois Coal
Basin.
AmPat executives have been instrumental in arranging the joint venture between
Peabody and Polo in Mongolia. Peabody, the world's largest private sector coal
company, has signed a subscription agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the
Peabody-Polo joint venture to be formed to hold all of Polo's coal and uranium
assets in Mongolia. Through this joint venture, Peabody aims to cultivate the
large undeveloped coal resources of Mongolia.
Polo's association with AmPat provides Polo with added confidence that the
relationship with Peabody can be optimized and properties of merit may be
brought into production in a timely manner.
Under the terms of the deal, AmPat will receive an annual fee of US$300,000, 25%
of any royalty payments on mineral sales received by Polo and a performance fee
of 20% of any distributions received by Polo in excess of US$50 million or a
higher amount if Polo contributes additional funds to the joint venture. In
addition, a representative of AmPat will be appointed to the Polo Board of
Directors.
