(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/29/13 -- Terraco Gold Corp. ("Terraco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: TEN) is pleased to announce that further to its press release dated April 22, 2013, the Company has closed its 3rd royalty transaction on the Spring Valley Project which included a USD$1,000,000 cash infusion.
"We are pleased to complete this 3rd royalty transaction on the Spring Valley Project located in Pershing County, Nevada, which is a Barrick led joint venture with Midway Gold Corp. ("Midway"). Collectively, our three royalty transactions now give Terraco, either by direct ownership or option, up to a 3% net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty, on this developing project. Terraco management believes that the valuation of this NSR will grow as the project moves towards production and we are pleased that Barrick has continued its accelerated rate of earn-in with Midway on the Spring Valley Project. In 2013, Barrick completed its USD$30,000,000 spending requirement for 60% interest in the project and notified Midway of its intention to spend an additional USD$8,000,000 to earn 70% of the Spring Valley Project. We are also excited, in these tough economic and market times that although we are issuing 800,000 shares of Terraco to the royalty vendor for the royalty assets, we received a USD$1,000,000 cash infusion without issuing additional shares or debt, thus no substantial shareholder dilution. In the last 19 months we have delivered to shareholders, despite unfavorable market conditions, a growing gold focussed asset base and brought USD$6,000,000 in creative funding to the company where our share structure has been left relatively intact. We are very proud of this", stated Todd Hilditch, President and CEO of Terraco.
The Company continues to maintain a debt-free balance sheet and at closing of this transaction has in excess of CDN$1,800,000 in cash and marketable securities.
