Update on Property Acquisition Transaction Between Jiulian and Gunpoint
April 01 2011 - 8:30AM
Marketwired
Jiulian Resources Inc. ("Jiulian") (TSX VENTURE: JLR) and Gunpoint
Exploration Ltd. ("Gunpoint") (TSX VENTURE: GUN) are providing an
update on the property acquisition transaction which was previously
announced by way of a joint news release dated February 1, 2011.
About the Property Acquisition Transaction
Gunpoint and Jiulian entered into an agreement dated effective
January 25, 2011 (the "Agreement") pursuant to which Jiulian will
acquire certain mineral exploration properties from Gunpoint in the
Kamloops and Nicola Mining Districts in British Columbia. The
parties have since agreed to amend the Agreement. Pursuant to the
amended Agreement, Jiulian will purchase a 100% interest in
Gunpoint's Big Kidd and Little Fort claims groups (the
"Acquisition"). The purchase price for these two groups of claims
is a cash payment to Gunpoint of $100,000 and the issuance
1,875,000 common shares of Jiulian. Under the amended Agreement,
there is no longer an option for Jiulian to purchase Gunpoint's
Brassie Creek and Craigmont claims groups, as Gunpoint has decided
to give up its interest in the Craigmont claims and Jiulian, based
on a preliminary review, no longer wanted the option. Jiulian's
title to the Big Kidd and Little Fort claims will be subject to a
net smelter return royalty in favour of Gunpoint and applicable
Crown royalties. Gunpoint and Jiulian are at arm's length to each
other. Following the closing of the Acquisition, Dr. E. Max Baker
will join the board of directors of Jiulian. Jiulian has commenced
preparation of a technical report on the Big Kidd property.
The Acquisition is subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV")
approval. Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur within
five days of TSXV approval. No finder's fee is payable in
connection with the Acquisition.

property, Jiulian had decided it did not want the option on the
Craigmont or Brassie Creek properties, based on preliminary due
diligence.
