Western Troy and MASGLAS Agree to Terminate Letter of Intent and Associated Proposed RTO

TORONTO, Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Western Troy Capital Resources (TSX Venture: WRY) (“Western Troy”) announced today that MASGLAS Peru S.A.C. (“MASGLAS”) and Western Troy have agreed to terminate the Letter of Intent (LOI) they executed on June 28, 2018.  

The LOI called for a reverse takeover (RTO) process and Share Exchange Agreement to be completed by December 3, 2018.   Through the due diligence process, it was discovered that the property payments and potential Cia. San Nicolas liabilities grew to a much larger amount than was originally envisioned by the LOI.  By exchange rules, the total amount of the property payments and liabilities would need to be covered by cash in the Western Troy treasury upon closing of the RTO.  While Western Troy estimated that the economics of the San Nicolas Mine Project would be compelling for investors, a commitment for the funds required to close the RTO and resolution of the property ownership issues could not be assured within the necessary time frames.  Therefore, by mutual agreement, both Western Troy and MASGLAS have agreed to terminate the June 28, 2018 LOI, but keep the option open to re-initiate the RTO process should MASGLAS be able to resolve the outstanding issues.  The Western Troy stock trading halt will be lifted shortly.

Western Troy’s CEO, Rex Loesby, commented, “We are disappointed we could not find a way to continue with the MASGLAS venture as we believe the economics of the San Nicolas Mine Project are very favorable.  We are keeping the door open should MASGLAS be able to better define a source of funding for the RTO and the potential liabilities the venture may be required to assume.  In the mean time, we will be investigating other opportunities to maximize shareholder value.  With the uncertainty of the CRA dispute behind us announced last week, we are in a much better position to negotiate favorable terms on any opportunity we investigate.”
