Ecuadorian Minerals Corporation - Ponce Enriquez properties acquired Ecuadorian Minerals Corporation EMC Shares issued 31,400,000 1998-09-16 close $0.63 Wednesday Sep 16 1998 Mr. Albert Gerry of Zappa Resources reports Effective Sept. 1, 1998, Zappa Resources closed the sale of its title rights interests in the Guadalupe, Mollopongo and Papa Grande properties, in the Ponce Enriquez mining district of southern Ecuador, to Ecuadorian Minerals. Formal assignment documentation is expected to be executed in Ecuador, at the latest, by the end of the month. As announced in Stockwatch April 21, 1998, 2,500,000 shares of Ecuadorian were issued to Zappa, of which: 500,000 were delivered as of Sept. 1, 1998; and 2,000,000 will be delivered in tranches of 500,000 at the end of each six month period following the date of closing. The provision for the delivery of an additional 500,000 shares, based on the market price of gold, was removed from the final agreement, given the existing market conditions. At closing, Zappa and Ecuadorian also executed a royalty deed conferring upon Zappa rights to a net smelter royalty interest of up to 2 per cent on eventual production from the Ponce Enriquez properties and any properties which may be acquired by Ecuadorian south of the Ponce Enriquez properties (collectively, the royalty properties). Such royalty interest may be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of any Ecuadorian government royalty, subject to a minimum reduction of 0.5 per cent on certain portions of the royalty properties and 1 per cent on all other portions.
