Marketwired Canada
Dunav Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DNV) (the "Company" or "Dunav") is pleased to
announce that it has notified Dundee Precious Metals Inc. ("DPM") of its
decision to exercise its option (the "Option") to acquire from DPM a 100%
interest in certain mineral projects in Serbia (the "Projects").
The conditions to exercise the Option included a minimum equity financing of $10
million and minimum expenditures of $3 million on the Projects. DPM and Dunav
have agreed to reduce the minimum expenditure requirement to $1 million. As of
July 31, 2011, Dunav has spent approximately $1.6 million on the Projects. With
the private placements completed in October 2010 and June 2011 (the "Combined
Financing"), the Company raised a total of $16,725,968. In consideration for the
reduction in the expenditure requirement, the number of units of the Company's
securities to be issued to DPM will take into account all securities issued
under the Combined Financing.
The Company has submitted to DPM the notice of exercise and expects to complete
the acquisition of the Projects on or about September 1, 2011 (the "Closing").
At Closing, the Company will issue to DPM 47,257,922 common shares (representing
47.5% of the current issued and outstanding capital of the Company on a
non-diluted basis) and warrants to purchase 36,790,009 common shares at a price
of $0.42 each for a period of 24 months from issuance, subject to acceleration
under certain circumstances. In accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture
Exchange, the securities issued to DPM will be subject to escrow.
On Closing, the parties will also enter into certain other ancillary agreements,
including: a standstill agreement relating to certain conduct of DPM, dependent
upon its ownership position in Dunav, relating to take-over bids; and the grant
by Dunav to DPM of qualification rights pursuant to which DPM will be entitled
to request the qualification for distribution by prospectus in all provinces of
Canada (other than Quebec) of DPM's shares of Dunav, at DPM's expense, and as
long as DPM holds more than 20% of the outstanding shares of Dunav. DPM also has
a participation right to maintain its pro-rata ownership in Dunav.
Following the Closing, the Company will have approximately 99,490,363 common
shares issued and outstanding (165,797,586 on a fully diluted basis).
