Luna Gold renegotiates Aurizona Goldfields share purchase deal

Luna Gold old Corp said Eldorado Gold Corp and Brascan Recursos Naturais SA (Brascan), a wholly owned subsidiary of Brascan Brasil, have agreed to defer for up to one year the payments due on the second anniversary of the closing of its agreement to fully acquire Aurizona Goldfields Corp as announced in December 2006.


The deal requires Luna to make a series of staged payments, some of which are conditional upon the project reaching commercial production, to each of Eldorado and Brascan in exchange for the shares of Aurizona.


The second anniversary payments, contractually due on January 31 2009, consist of US$1.5 million to each of Brascan and Eldorado, and a further US$670,000 due to Brascan in lieu of shares in Luna. These second anniversary payments represent the final pre-production payments.


The terms have been amended to permit the deferment of the payments until January 31 2010; however, any portion of the payments outstanding as of July 31 2009, shall be increased by 10 percent of the amount outstanding.


"This agreement has removed a significant short term financial burden on the company and we thank Eldorado and Brascan for their support," stated Jim Bahan, Luna's chief executive. "Although the market is difficult, the company believes the gold sector will remain buoyant and enters the New Year with great optimism."


In addition, Bahan stated that "Since the Piaba feasibility study was completed, the Brazilian Real has weakened by approximately 25 percent compared to the US dollar, resulting in a lower capital requirement to construct the project and significantly lower operating costs which were estimated in US dollars. Another potential benefit is that the project is within a designated Brazil development zone and eligible for fiscal benefits, including federal and state tax reductions and development loan finance."
