LONGUEUIL, QC, Feb. 23 /CNW Telbec/ - Azimut Exploration Inc. ("Azimut") announces the signing of a letter of intent with 2227352 Ontario Inc.

This property, which comprises 524 claims covering a surface area of 237 km2, is located in Nunavik, Quebec, about 40 km northwest of the town of Kuujjuaq (see press release of February 18, 2010).
The Partner can acquire an initial 50% interest in the project by performing $4.0 million in exploration work over a four (4)-year period, and an additional 15% interest upon delivery of a bankable feasibility study.

The Partner will also issue $100,000 of its common shares, the number of shares being determined based on Transferco's share exchange transaction price. An additional $100,000 of its common shares will also be issued on the first anniversary. These share issuances may be substituted by cash payments in the event the Partner does not complete its proposed transaction. - Minimum work expenditures: $700,000 during the first year (firm commitment), and $1,000,000, $1,000,000 and $1,300,000 during subsequent years for a total of $4,000,000.
