Resouro Strategic Metals Inc. (ASX:RAU) (CVE:RSM) (FRA:8TX) (OTCMKTS:RSGOF) is pleased to announce an update to the press release provided to you on September 9, 2024 (September 10, 2024 ASX). Resouro's subsidiary, Tiros Minerais Estrategicos Mineracao Ltda ("TMEL" or the "Buyer"), has completed the due diligence required to finalize the contractual arrangement whereby Resouro entered into a Binding Agreement with Mr. Marcelo Augusto Martins Neto ("Seller") to acquire 100% ownership and title over three (3) mineral rights contiguous with the Sao Gotardo block of Resouro's Tiros Rare Earths and Titanium Project, located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil ("Tiros Project" or the "Project").
Highlights
- Three (3) minerals rights ("Mineral Rights") totaling 4,744 hectares located south of, and contiguous with, the Sao Gotardo block of the Tiros Project.
- The Capacete Formation, associated with the Tiros Project, covers most of the Mineral Rights associated with this Binding Agreement.
Commenting on the Binding Agreement, President, CEO, Director and Founder, Chris Eager commented:
With this acquisition, we are consolidating our presence in the highly prospective Capacete Formation, securing assets for future development. This highly strategic acquisition gives us a greater footprint in a highly prospective area and the contiguous nature of the assets adjacent to Resouro's Sao Gotardo block could prove highly beneficial in the event of a future discovery."
Acquisition Terms
The terms of the Binding Agreement have been modified to include a floor price for use in the calculation of the number of common shares that will be issued upon successful completion of Milestones 2 and 3. Material terms of the Binding Agreement include:
- Initial Payment: Within 5 days from the date of confirmed acceptance of this transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"), or up to 30 days from the purchase confirmation, whichever comes first, payment of (1) CAD 50,000 in cash and (2) CAD 50,000 in Resouro shares based on the 20-day VWAP of Resouro shares which occurred immediately prior to the date of acceptance of the transaction. The VWAP is CAD $0.35; therefore, 142,857 common shares of Resouro will be issued.
- Milestone 1: After the purchase confirmation, the Buyer shall drill at least six (6) holes within the mineral rights perimeter. The drilling campaign should report at least three (3) holes showing a minimum of 20 continuous meters of intercepts with over 2,000 ppm Total Rare Earth Oxides ("TREO") within two (2) years of the purchase confirmation date.
o The payment for Milestone 1 will consist of (1) CAD 50,000 in cash and (2) CAD 50,000 in Resouro shares based on the same 20-day VWAP as that used for the Initial Payment. The VWAP is CAD $0.35; therefore, an additional 142,857 common shares of Resouro will be issued.

o If Milestone 2 is not met within the three (3) years from the purchase confirmation date, the Buyer must pay the amount stipulated under this Milestone, in full.
- Milestone 3: After the Buyer has completed a JORC Mineable Compliant Report, or up to one (1) year after the payment related to Milestone 2 is made, the final payment to complete the acquisition of the mineral rights will be made by the Buyer, as follows:
o Consisting of (1) CAD 100,000 in cash plus (2) CAD 100,000 in Resouro shares based on the 20-day VWAP of Resouro shares which occurred immediately prior to the date of the milestone 3 deadline.
