Company Confirms Completion of American Molygold Corp Sale in January 2009
Hunt Gold Corporation (PINKSHEETS: HGLC) announced on November 14, 2008 the sale of its " Molybdenum" interests held through its subsidiary company, American Molygold Corp.
The sale amount is US$620 million to be settled in shares of Common Stock of a USA quoted Company focussed exclusively on the business of Molybdenum. The sale will be completed upon the transfer of title of the various claims held by American Molygold Corp, to the Purchaser.
This transaction will be completed by mid January 2009.
The value of this disposal equates to US$0.0021 per 1 share of Hunt Gold Corporation Common Stock. The Company's stock is currently trading at US$0.0003 in the market.
Once the value of the Company's 14 (fourteen) Gold Mining Properties, already significantly increased by the steady rise in the price of Gold, to this value, clearly demonstrates and reflects the huge discount to Net Asset Value at which the Company's stock is currently trading in the market.
As announced on August 15, 2008, the Company announced that it intended to distribute all of the proceeds from the sale of American Molygold Corp to its stockholders upon receipt of these proceeds. This Stock Dividend has been approved in writing by stockholders holding in excess of 75% of this Company's Common Stock.
This will result in a Stock Dividend payout to stockholders valued at US$0.0021 per 1 (one) share of Hunt Gold Corporation Common Stock.
Stockholders will be advised once the "Record Date" and "Pay Date" of this Stock Dividend has been declared.
Hunt Gold Corporation intends to focus exclusively on the Exploration and Mining of its existing Gold properties. The Company does not need to place any shares for cash, nor does it need to retain any of the proceeds from the sale of American Molygold Corp, as it is funding the exploration of its Gold Mining interests through traditional Bank Mortgage Finance.
Molybdenum has become very important as demand for moly is tied to demand for steel used in the petroleum industry (e.g. drill pipe, pipeline construction), which will benefit from accelerated petroleum exploration and development in an era of high oil prices.
The molybdenum assets held by American Molygold Corp and disposed of by your Company; are as follows:
1. American Molygold. The American Molygold property is in the Cherry Mining District in Yavapai County, Arizona approximately 10 miles from Jerome. This 1,900 acre property includes the two major historic gold producing mines in the district, Monarch and Logan, as well as a probable resource of 150,000 tons and an inferred resource of 5,000,000 tons, based on work by the prior owner, Alanco. It is a Precambrian deposit in a Bradshaw Granite intrusion into Yavapai Schist, located along the Verde Fault. There is a large, partially stripped gold-bearing zone of alteration with vein lets of copper and molybdenum mineralization that has been interpreted as being the outer layer or shell of porphyry copper / moly mineralization on the eastern portion of the claims. The vein systems may warrant underground development and there is potential for an open pit low gold content target with associated moly and base metals production.
2. Rochester Molygold. The Rochester Molygold property is in the Rabbit Mining District in Madison County, Montana, approximately 30 miles from Butte and comprises approximately 2,250 acres. The project includes a majority of the former FMC Gold project, which reported an 850,000 ounce gold resource. It also includes the former US Steel moly project. This is also a Precambrian deposit with the gold found in well defined veins that strike north or northeast and dip steeply west, usually associated with granite dikes. Additionally, there are placer gold workings along Rochester Creek, and a possible method of mining would use water from dewatering the underground workings for placer mining downstream. The moly is found in a recambrian quartz monzonite stock , which is altered to a greisens -- like vuggy aggregate of muscovite, quartz, and clots and disseminated grains of pyrite and molybdenite, as well as quartz veins containing same.
