KazMinCo acquires exploration property in Hungary

Kazakhstan Minerals Corp KMC.U
Shares issued 29,546,156 Nov 30 close $0.21
Wed 1 Dec 99 News Release
Mr. Tony Williams reports
KazMinCo has agreed to acquire 100-per-cent ownership of the Telkibanya
project in northeast Hungary. The Telkibanya project is located 260
kilometres northeast of Budapest and consists on four contiguous licences
covering 62 square kilometres, which are considered to have potential for
economic precious metal mineralization.
KazMinCo has acquired an extensive geological and historic mining database
on the property which confirms the existence of numerous precious metal
vein systems. KazMinCo geologists interpret Telkibanya as a classic
low-sulphidation epithermal system with many similarities to the major
epithermal districts of South America.
KazMinCo is currently evaluating the existing data in preparation to
commence a first-stage exploration program in spring 2000. The project is
well served by infrastructure with easy access which will allow year-round
operations.
Acquisition terms
To acquire the Telkibanya project, KazMinCo has agreed to pay $16,000
(U.S.) to refinance the Hungarian owners the cost of the geological
database and has agreed to issue to the owners 200,000 common shares in
KazMinCo. An additional $100,000 (U.S.) (subject to adjustment depending on
the gold price) will be payable on completion of a positive feasibility
study. KazMinCo has also agreed to incur minimum exploration expenditures
of $250,000 (U.S.) before November, 2002. The acquisition is subject to
regulatory approval and confirmation of KazMinCo's title to the licences.
The Telkibanya project is KazMinCo's first exploration venture outside
Kazakhstan. KazMinCo remains committed to developing its natural resource
business in Kazakhstan where the two-million-gold-equivalent-ounce
Varvarinskoye property is the most advanced project. KazMinCo also
maintains its interest in several sizeable copper-gold exploration
properties in Kazakhstan.
The recent improvement in the gold price and the possibility that there
could be further upswing in the market gives encouragement for a
Varvarinskoye project financing next year
