Marketwired Canada
Colombia Crest Gold Corp. ("Colombia Crest"; the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:CLB)(PINK SHEETS:ECRTF)(FRANKFURT:EAT) is pleased to announce that it
will now have an additional six months to earn a 75% interest in certain
Colombian mineral concessions under the Company's agreement with Grupo de Bullet
as described in its news release of August 18, 2010.
Changes in administrative procedures which have recently been adopted by the
Colombian government are resulting in delays in the granting of mineral title
and drill permitting which affects all exploration companies in Colombia,
including Colombia Crest. The Company plans to work diligently to attain the
required mineral title, or Contract Status, over the coming weeks, after which
it expects to have the required drilling permits issued within the next three
months. To ensure sufficient time to obtain these drilling permits and
thereafter mobilize the contractor's drilling equipment and personnel without
defaulting under its agreement with Bullet, Bullet has agreed to an amendment of
the option agreement to extend by six months the time permitted to incur the
required exploration expenses. The Company is well funded to continue its
operations as soon as the required mineral title and subsequent drill permits
are issued.
Stock Option Grant
The Company also announces that it has granted incentive options for the
purchase of a total of 200,000 shares in its capital; 150,000 of the options are
vested immediately and are exercisable on or before August 25, 2013 at a price
of $0.45 per share. The remaining 50,000 options granted to Progressive IR
Consultants are vested over a one year period with 12,500 becoming exercisable
every three months and are exercisable at a price of $0.24 per share on or
before August 25, 2013.
