MICH RESOURCES ANNOUNCES TERMINATION OF AGREEMENTS TO ACQUIRE THE PECOY COPPER PROJECT AND PURSUIT OF NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 1, 2022 /CNW/ - Mich Resources Ltd. (CSE: MICH) (the "Company") announced that it has terminated agreements with Pembrook Copper Corp. ("Pembrook"), Minera Andina de Exploraciones SAA ("MinAndex") and Carlos Mauricio Carlessi Vargas ("Carlessi" and together with Pembrook and MinAndex, the "Vendors") to acquire and consolidate 100% of the Pecoy Copper Project (the "Pecoy Project").
On June 27, 2022, the Company announced that it had entered into updated definitive agreements with the Vendors to acquire and consolidate 100% of the Pecoy Project, a copper porphyry project located in Southern Peru (the "Pecoy Transaction"). Management has determined it is not in the best interest of the Company to pursue the Pecoy Transaction under the present terms and financial market conditions and is working with potential buyers to recover a portion of the costs incurred in the pursuit of closing the Pecoy Transaction.
The Company is committed to creating value for its shareholders and is therefore actively seeking new acquisition opportunities of properties endowed with 'battery metals' with a jurisdictional focus in the Americas. The Company is currently in discussions to acquire such assets and will make further announcements with respect to these efforts as soon as practically possible.
The Company also announces the resignation of April Hashimoto and Miguel Cardozo, who were appointed to the Company's board of directors at the Company's Annual General Meeting on August 9, 2022, as well as Dr. David Stone who was appointed Chief Operating Officer in January 2022, in anticipation of the closing of the Pecoy Transaction. The Company wishes to thank Ms. Hashimoto, Dr. Cardozo and Dr. Stone for their service and wishes them success in their current and future endeavours.
The Company is a British Columbia public company with a registered office at 25th Floor, 700 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V7Y 1C3. The Company's common shares are listed on the Exchange under the trading symbol "MICH" and reporting in British Columbia and Ontario. The Company is principally engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.
