MILL CITY GOLD CORP. ("Mill City" and/or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:MC)(OTCBB:MCYGF)(FRANKFURT:NJ6) is pleased to announce the signing of a
Letter of Intent ("LOI") to purchase up to a 60% interest in the North East
Tanjung Block, an onshore Indonesian gas concession and Production Sharing
Contract with a 30 year contract term including initial 6 year exploration
period, from PT Anugerah Trimata Kaltim Energi ("PTATKE"), an Indonesian limited
liability company that holds a 100% working interest in the project.
"This is an incredible opportunity for Mill City and our shareholders to acquire
a majority stake in a high potential gas field, located in a friendly
jurisdiction with a shortage of natural gas production," stated James R. Brown,
Mill City's Chairman, President and CEO.
Project Description
The North East Tanjung Block project is located at Kutai Barat regency, East
Kalimantan Province, which is approximately 180 km to the north-west of
Balikpapan City. The project area covers initially 11,191.8 square kilometres
and reduced into approximately 5,453.27 square kilometres within the onshore
Kutai Basin. Geologically, the project area is situated in Western Kutai Basin,
known as the Upper Kutai Basin, which is one of the most prolific petroleum
basins within Indonesia. Moreover, from a previous study on adjacent ground, the
gas potential has been proven in the Mendung Well, within the onshore West
Kutai.
There are three target "pay zone" formations on the project. Previous work
conducted on the project by the Indonesian government indicates that a gas
resource is present. The Company intends to complete a NI 51-101 report in due
course to verify this resource.
Scheduled Work Program
To confirm the potential of the North East Tanjung Block, the joint venture
partners plan to conduct exploration activities including drilling 2 exploration
wells and 2 delineation wells, and to conduct a 2D seismic survey over a 2 km x
300 km area by the end of 2016. The estimated total cost to complete the
exploration program is approximately US$31.52 million.
Earn-in Schedule
To earn up to a 60% interest in the North East Tanjung Block, Mill City agrees
to provide up to US$32 million thru staged financings over three years to
provide the working capital to conduct the work program described above.
Year 1 - US$10 million for an initial 20% Interest in the North East Tanjung
Block and issuing to PTATKE that number of shares equal to 49% of Mill City's
issued and outstanding share capital immediately prior to TSX Venture Exchange
(the "Exchange") Acceptance, which shares shall be subject to such resale
restrictions and hold periods as may be imposed under applicable securities laws
and the policies of the Exchange.
Year 2 - US$11 million for an additional 20% Interest in the North East Tanjung
Block and issuing to PTATKE that number of shares equal to 49% of Mill City's
issued and outstanding share capital (less the total number of shares issued in
Year 1).
Year 3 - US$11 million for an additional 20% Interest in the North East Tanjung
Block and issuing to PTATKE that number of shares equal to 49% of Mill City's
issued and outstanding share capital (less the total number of shares issued in
Year 1 and Year 2).
The signed LOI allows for up to ninety (90) days from the signing to complete
due diligence and to arrange the first year tranche of required capital to
