The  Berenguela property  is  host  to  a 14-million-tonne probable resource grading 18 per cent manganese dioxide, 1.3 per cent copper and 125 grams silver per tonne, according to Ross Glanville, BA, Sc, PEng, MBA, in a March, 1998, report on the Berenguela project. The deposit is located  in  southeastern  Peru  and accessible by road, 50 kilometres from Juliaca, a town of 100,000 people. Under the terms of the agreement, Blackstone will  acquire  an  80-per-cent interest  in  Sominbesa  following  Blackstone's  settlement  of  Sominbesa shareholder  indebtedness  of  $750,000  (U.S.)   and   upon   Blackstone's completion  of  financing for the first phase of a feasibility study on the Berenguela project. This 80-per-cent interest will be  purchased  for  such number  of  shares as is needed to be issued so that the shares issued will equal  40  per  cent  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  capitalization  of Blackstone at the time of purchase. The remaining 20-per-cent interest  in  Sominbesa  may  be  purchased  upon commencement  of  production  at  Berenguela. The price payable will be the issuance of such number of shares as is needed to be issued  that  together with the originally issued shares would represent 20 per cent of the issued and outstanding capitalization of Blackstone at that time. The transaction is  conditional  on  Blackstone  completing  due  diligence within a 60-day period and completing a consolidation of its existing share capital on a 1 new common share for every 2.5 existing common shares. Concurrent with this acquisition, Blackstone announces  a  preconsolidation non-brokered  private placement for two million units at 10 cents per unit. Each unit shall be convertible, into a common share and a  two-year  common share  purchase  warrant.  Each warrant shall be exercisable at 10 cents in the first year and 12 cents in the second. The placement is  being  largely subscribed for by the principals of Blackstone. The company has also issued 494,500 director/employee common share purchase options. Each option shall entitle the holder to purchase a common share of the company for a period of five years at a price of 10 cents per share. All of the above transactions are  subject  to  Canadian  Venture  Exchange approval. The share consolidation is also subject to shareholder approval.
