VANCOUVER, May 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Firesteel Resources Ltd. ("Firesteel" or the "Company") (TSX-V: FTR) today announced that Michael Hepworth would assume the role of President and CEO instead of Interim President and CEO. At the same time the company announced updates to the corporate website. www.firesteelresources.com
The changes to the website include a summary of all of Firesteel's properties, details of each property and details of the option and joint venture agreements on each.
Michael Hepworth commented; "Firesteel's primary financial strategy is to preserve and build our treasury while mitigating the risk of exploration with option and joint venture agreements."
"Given the extremely challenging conditions for raising finance since the end of 2011, Firesteel has been focused on developing solid partnerships with companies with a track record of creating successful projects. Properties are optioned to capable partners who finance exploration in return for part ownership of the properties."
"Two of our projects, ROK Coyote and Copper Creek, are currently being advanced via the above model. These option agreements will contribute approximately $20,000,000 in non-dilutive exploration expenditures over the next 4 years to advance exploration on our ROK Coyote and our Copper Creek properties."
"In addition the option agreements will contribute approximately $2,900,000 to our treasury in cash and shares. At current share prices, a raise of this nature would have required the issuance of approximately 200,000,000 new shares in a company with only 57,035,889 shares on a fully diluted basis. "
"The announcement of the two option and joint venture agreements with OZ Minerals and Prosper Gold have created a lot of interest and some unanswered questions. The changes to the website seek to clarify these issues."
"The way our agreements are structured, we not only have talented and experienced partners sharing in our exploration expense, we have the built in upside from the joint venture on the back end."
Further details of these agreements can be found under the sections covering the individual properties.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
FIRESTEEL RESOURCES INC.
