TRIBUTE MINERALS ANNOUNCES IT HAS CLOSED THE ACQUISITION OF A 100% INTEREST IN THE MCFAULDS LAKE “RING OF FIRE” PROPERTIES
JULY 7, 2009
Tribute Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: TBM) and Goldeye Explorations Limited (TSX-V: GGY) are pleased to jointly announce that TBM and GGY have closed the acquisition of the 50% interest of GGY in a group of 126 unpatented mining claims in the James Bay Lowlands in the area known as the Ring of Fire (the “McFaulds Lake Property”) held jointly by TBM and GGY announced in the Press Release dated April 2, 2009. TBM issued 11,671,500 of its common shares to GGY, paid $115,000 in cash and GGY retained a 1.0% Net Smelter Returns Royalty in the McFaulds Lake Property (the “GGY NSR”). On closing, TBM also repaid a debt owed to GGY of $85,000.
As part of the closing, TBM and GGY unwound the proposed transaction announced in the Press Release date June 25, 2008 to roll the McFaulds Lake Property into McFaulds Resources Inc. and to take that company public.
The completion of this acquisition results in TBM holding a 100% working interest (subject to the GGY NSR) in the McFaulds Lake Property which consists of a total of 68,239 acres. The acquisition makes this one of the largest land packages wholly-owned by any junior company situated in the Ring of Fire area.
TBM’s corporate strategy is to continue to acquire land in the Ring of Fire area, in a 100% ownership model.
As a result of this transaction, Goldeye Explorations Limited holds directly 11,671,500 common shares of TBM representing 10.82% of current outstanding capital. Goldeye has informed TBM that it has acquired the common shares for investment purposes and has no present intention to either increase or decrease its holdings in TBM. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Goldeye stated that it may decrease or increase its beneficial ownership, control, or direction over common shares of TBM through market transactions, private agreements, other treasury issuances or otherwise.
The Company currently has 107,855,230 common shares issued and outstanding.
