Salmon River Exercises Treppo Grande Option and Modifies Agreements to Include Deferred Payment
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/15/11 -- Salmon River Resources Ltd. ("Salmon River" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SAL) is pleased to announce that it has exercised the Option to acquire a 100% interest in Treppo Grande Iron Pty Ltd. (see press release dated 16 June 2010), a private Australian company which holds five granted tenements in the Yilgarn Craton of southwestern Australia, including the highly prospective Mt. Manning iron ore prospects (see Exploration Updates of 26 August 2010, 2 August 2011, 1 September 2011 and 11 October 2011).
In order to accommodate payment terms of the Option Exercise with the expected closing of the financing with the General Steel Group (see press release dated 4 November 2011), the Optionor and Salmon River have agreed to modify the date for completion of payment under the Option and to make other amendments to the purchase terms. Amendments to the terms include the following:
"The exercise of the Treppo Grande Option is a major milestone for Salmon River and establishes our direct ownership of the highly perspective Treppo Grande tenements, including the Mt Manning iron ore discovery," noted Doug Betts, Salmon River Chair. "The amendment of the payment terms for the Option exercise now allows adequate time for the Company to close the significant transactions with General Steel Group and related financings. We now intend to move forward quickly to further develop the Treppo Grande iron ore project."
