Murgor Resources retains 100% of Wim and Hudvam projects in Manitoba as Hudbay's buyback option expires

murgor.com │ MGR : TSX-V

KINGSTON, ON, Sept. 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Murgor Resources Inc. (TSXV: MGR) today reported that on September 12, 2012, the buy-back period during which Hudbay Minerals had the right to re-acquire an undivided interest of up to 50% in the Hudvam property and 17 claims of the Wim property expired. Both properties are located in the Flin Flon Belt of Manitoba with Hudvam approximately 47 kilometres NE of the town of Flin Flon and Wim approximately 16 kilometres north of the Town of Snow Lake.

Had Hudbay Minerals exercised such right, it would have had the right to re-acquire an additional 15% undivided interest in the property, for a total 65% undivided interest.  Therefore, as at September 12, 2012, Murgor retains a 100% undivided interest in the properties.  Under the agreement entered into by Murgor and Hudbay Minerals in September 2006, Murgor has granted Hudbay Minerals a 2% net smelter return (NSR) royalty with respect to the Hudvam property and 17 claims of the Wim property.

The Company is currently evaluating its strategic alternatives at both properties. A Divestiture Committee comprising the independent Directors of the Board  has been duly constituted to consider all viable alternatives for selling or advancing these projects.

"For the last few years, Murgor's strategy has been to concentrate on advancing the Golden Arrow Project which management believes has near term production potential. Since the way is now clear for us to find a new partner for Wim and Hudvam or sell the projects outright, this opens up several attractive scenarios for Murgor to consider.  With copper and gold prices recently surging, Murgor has a terrific opportunity to monetize the more than 150 million pounds of copper and 350,000 oz of gold in known resources identified in these great assets to date,"  said André Tessier, President and CEO of Murgor Resources.
