Toledo Mining Corporation plc
("Toledo" or the "Company") (AIM:TMC)
Ipilan Offer Update
On 18 October 2011, Toledo announced that the three joint venture partners of
Ipilan Nickel Corporation ("INC" or "Ipilan") had separately entered into
Memoranda of Understanding with a wholly owned subsidiary of Jinchuan Group
Limited of China ("Jinchuan") which could result in Jinchuan and its Philippine
partners acquiring 100% of the equity of INC. The MOU gave Jinchuan an exclusive
90 day period for due diligence and preparation of share purchase agreements.
Since the signing of the MOUs, Jinchuan has been conducting extensive due
diligence and has indicated that it is hopeful of consummating a transaction.
Jinchuan is in the final stage of due diligence and seeking certain
confirmations, primarily from government agencies, as to the full extent of
INC's rights to develop the Ipilan resource.
Jinchuan has advised that "they are preparing their report document for their
board, remain serious about the acquisition of INC and will pursue the project
as long as Jinchuan is satisfied with the due diligence result."
Given the positive statements made by Jinchuan in relation to completion, the
joint venture partners intend to continue to negotiate and have communicated
their willingness to agree to a request from Jinchuan to extend the deadline to
February 10, 2012.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
