Marketwired Canada
Jiulian Resources Inc. ("Jiulian") (TSX VENTURE:JLR) and Gunpoint Exploration
Ltd. ("Gunpoint") (TSX VENTURE:GUN) are providing an update on the property
acquisition transaction which was previously announced by way of a joint news
release dated February 1, 2011.
About the Property Acquisition Transaction
Gunpoint and Jiulian entered into an agreement dated effective January 25, 2011
(the "Agreement") pursuant to which Jiulian will acquire certain mineral
exploration properties from Gunpoint in the Kamloops and Nicola Mining Districts
in British Columbia. The parties have since agreed to amend the Agreement.
Pursuant to the amended Agreement, Jiulian will purchase a 100% interest in
Gunpoint's Big Kidd and Little Fort claims groups (the "Acquisition"). The
purchase price for these two groups of claims is a cash payment to Gunpoint of
$100,000 and the issuance 1,875,000 common shares of Jiulian. Under the amended
Agreement, there is no longer an option for Jiulian to purchase Gunpoint's
Brassie Creek and Craigmont claims groups, as Gunpoint has decided to give up
its interest in the Craigmont claims and Jiulian, based on a preliminary review,
no longer wanted the option. Jiulian's title to the Big Kidd and Little Fort
claims will be subject to a net smelter return royalty in favour of Gunpoint and
applicable Crown royalties. Gunpoint and Jiulian are at arm's length to each
other. Following the closing of the Acquisition, Dr. E. Max Baker will join the
board of directors of Jiulian. Jiulian has commenced preparation of a technical
report on the Big Kidd property.
The Acquisition is subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval. Closing of
the Acquisition is expected to occur within five days of TSXV approval. No
finder's fee is payable in connection with the Acquisition.
