Marketwired Canada
Ethiopian Potash Corp. (the "Company" or "EPC") (TSX VENTURE:FED) announces that
the parties to the memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") described in EPC's
press release dated January 30, 2013 have agreed to further extend the deadline
for the execution of the agreements contemplated therein to April 19, 2013.
Progress has been made in the negotiation of the definitive agreements. However,
given the complex nature of the transactions contemplated by the MOU, a brief
extension is required.
Further to EPC's press release dated February 20, 2013, operations at the
Danakil Property have been re-established. The US$1.5 million facility from
Danakil Potash Corporation ("Danakil Corp") to G&B, as announced in EPC's
February 20th press release, is available to be used towards immediate
exploration and the continued development of the Danakil Property. Plinian
Capital Limited, which is a significant shareholder of Circum Minerals Ltd. (the
parent company of Danakil Corp), acts as the operator of Circum Minerals Ltd.
and is expected to be the operator under EPC's proposed joint venture with
Danakil Corp.
All third-party and regulatory approvals, as may be required, must be obtained
by no later than June 30, 2013. There can be no assurance that the definitive
agreements will be entered into within the time required and/or that the
transactions contemplated in the MOU will be consummated.
Additional details regarding the transactions contemplated by the MOU are
described in EPC's press release dated January 30, 2013. Additional details
regarding Danakil Corp's loan to G&B are described in EPC's press release dated
February 20, 2013.
