Message: Carolin Mine Sale by Century to Module

What does this say about what is going on behind the scenes? Is there anything to read into here?

http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/module-announces-purchase-sale-agreement-principle-carolin-mine-associated-ladner-gold-tsx-venture-mle-1523343.htm

Some very rough calculations:


5million in hand over 4 years, of which 2.5million by October 30, 2012
approximately 310K based on the 3.5 million shares (.09 shareprice today for MLE)
A Net Smelter Return of 3%, which can be bought out for 4.5 million
Century gets a return of 200K for mine permit bond by August 31, 2011 .
Total gross of the sale is maybe 10 million.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 6, 2011) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Module Resources Incorporated (TSX VENTURE:MLE) ("Module" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement in principle with Century Mining Corporation ("Century") on a revised agreement for the purchase by Module of the Carolin Mine and associated Ladner gold properties and accompanying claims, subject to completion of the definitive agreement and approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The land package comprises 158 mineral claims covering approximately 7,000 hectares (70 sq. kms.). The revised purchase and sale agreement replaces a more restrictive option agreement that Module signed with Century in October 2008.

Terms under the new purchase and sale agreement include:

  • Consideration of $5,000,000 in cash plus 3,500,000 common shares of Module, to be paid or issued in installments over four years to Century for complete ownership of the property.
  • Module will be given credit for previous cash payments totaling $60,000 in 2008 and 2009 and issuance of 1,000,000 shares in 2009.
  • Upon signing of the agreement, Module will have deemed a 10% earned interest and will obtain an additional 40% earned interest upon completing cash payments totaling $2,500,000 by October 31, 2012.
  • A 3% NSR royalty to Century, which may be repurchased by Module for $1,500,000 per 1%. The NSR will not apply to potential gold recovery from reclamation and reprocessing of the existing tailings impoundment.
  • The back-in and joint venture rights of Century under the existing option agreement will be eliminated.
  • Module will replace Century's $200,000 mine permit bond to the BC government by August 31, 2011.

Bruce Downing, President and CEO of Module, commented: "We are very pleased that we have reached an agreement in principle with Century whereby the original option agreement will be replaced by a purchase and sale agreement. Module's ownership of the Carolin Mine and Ladner gold properties will allow us to move forward with financing a major exploration and development program."
