Oregon Resources Corp. Restructures Transaction for
Acquisition of Industrial Property

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Oregon+Resources+Corp.+Restructures+Transaction+for+Acquisition+of...-a0149160550
HAMILTON, Bermuda -- Resource Finance & Investment Limited ("RFI") (OTCBB:RFIVF) is pleased to report that its wholly owned subsidiary Oregon Resources Corporation (ORC) and Teck Cominco American Incorporated (TCAI) have agreed to restructure the terms of a Letter of Intent relating to the 28.44 acre industrial property in Coos Bay, Oregon, previously announced, into a Lease/Purchase agreement.

The terms of the agreement provide for the payment of a $200,000 security deposit and twelve monthly payments of $25,000. At the end of the 12 month period ORC has the option to purchase the property or extend the lease on a monthly basis. The security deposit and the monthly payments will be credited as part of the total purchase consideration. The security deposit and first months lease payment have been paid to TCAI.

The Lease/Purchase agreement provides ORC with immediate access to the site for the construction and commissioning of a 10tph mineral processing pilot plant which ORC acquired in 2005 and had been de commissioned and made ready for transporting to the Coos Bay site. The pilot plant will assist with the determination of the flow sheet for the 400,000 tpa larger scale plant as envisaged in the company's feasibility and operating plan.

The property has a ship loading dock, storage silo and water treatment facility and is divided by a rail spur. It has access to the main interstate routes, natural gas supply and is in close proximity to ORC's heavy mineral sand deposits.

Mining Plans & Notices on BLM Land Cominco American Inc is one of the 3,323 mine operators in the U.S. with mining plans and notices on BLM land listed as currently active in government records, operating under laws that allow mining interests to extract and sell precious metals and minerals previously held by the public. Cominco American Inc may also operate mines on Forest Service lands, which are not contained in the LR2000 database that is the backbone of this website. Because the government often fails to promptly close out records for mines no longer active, active mining may be completed for some of the operations represented by plans and notices in this website. The government frequently fails to promptly close out records for plans and notices no longer active. But regardless of the status of mining operations on a particular site, filings of plans and notices are indicative of mining on the property - whether past, present, or planned. Mining operations led by Cominco American Inc may well have left behind permanent pollution. In 2001 mines generated 45 percent of all pollution in EPA's Toxic Release Reporting system while accounting for just 0.36 percent of all industrial facilities.

For Cominco American Inc:

  • Ranking among U.S. mine operators for total land encompassed by operation plans on BLM land: 3,323 of 3,323 U.S. mine operators.
  • Mining plans include 11 notices for mines disturbing no more than five acres and 4 surface management plans for larger mines.

Source: EWG analysis of Bureau of Land Management's Land and Mineral Records 2000 (LR2000) data system. For claims, acreages are estimated based on maximum allowable size of claims. For patents, acreages are taken directly from the LR2000 database where available, and are estimated based on maximum allowable size of claim that preceded the patent where acreages are not noted in LR2000. All notices are assumed to be five acres in size, and the size of plans are calculated directly as the size of the land represented by the legal land description in the LR2000 database. The acreages we estimate through these methods would tend to overestimate the actual amount. We welcome corrections here, and would welcome a federal data management system that included the acreages involved in these important federal land transactions.
