In Santiago de Chile, on February 11, 2013, Minera Polymet Limitada (“Vendor”)., a Chilean subsidiary of Red Metal Resources Ltd., entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with, Geoactiva Spa, “Geoactiva”.
The MOU will serve to confirm Geoactiva’s intention to acquire 100% of the mining concessions group named “Perth” through the execution of a mining option purchase agreement (the “Option Agreement”), and declaring the Vendor’s interest in granting such option and subsequently transferring the mining concessions. For a detailed list of the concessions please refer to the MOU filed as an attachment to this form 8-K.
1. Option price. In order to maintain the option to purchase valid and finally to acquire the Perth, Geoactiva shall pay the Vendor the total amount of $1,000,000 USD in the following instalments:
| Payment of Price US$ |

42 months after Execution date | 250,000 |
48 months after Execution date | 250,000 |
Total | 1,000,000 |
All of the above payments shall be made only if Geoactiva wishes to keep the Option Agreement in force and finally to exercise the option to purchase.
Upon exercise of the Option Agreement and once the commercial production begins, Geoactiva will pay the Vendor an NSR of 1.5% from the sale of gold, copper, and cobalt extracted from the Perth property. At any time after the exercise of the Option Agreement and fulfilling the investment commitment of $3,500,000 in exploration expenditure, Geoactiva may purchase 100% NSR as follows:
Gold: paying US $5 per inferred ounce of gold, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
Copper: US $0.005 per inferred ounce of copper, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
Cobalt: If Geoactiva acquires the NSR with respect to gold, copper, or both, the NSR relating to cobalt will be terminated
Upon execution of the Option Agreement, Geoactiva shall incur the exploration expenditures, described in Exhibit C of the attached MOU, as follows:
Date | US$ |
Within 12 months from execution date | 500,000 |
12-24 months from execution date | 1,000,000 |
24-36 months from execution date | 1,000,000 |
36-48 months from execution date | 1,000,000 |
Total | 3,500,000 |
If Geoactiva fails to incur the required exploration expenditures during a specific period it may fulfill its obligations by paying outstanding amount in cash to the Vendor.
2. Due diligence. Geoactiva shall have 60 days (“Due Diligence Period”) from February 11, 2013 to conduct the legal, technical, and other background review of the Perth. At any time during the Due Diligence Period, Geoactiva may communicate in writing of it decision to execute the Option Agreement. During the Due Diligence period and until the execution of the Option Agreement, the Vendor shall provide exclusivity rights to Geoactiva and refrain from any negotiations with third parties.
3. Failure to make payments. If Geoactiva fails to make any payment within the terms indicated for this purpose in the Option Agreement it will be deemed that Geoactiva will not pursue to carry on with the Option Agreement and abandons its interest in the Perth.
The foregoing descriptions of the MOU do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the MOU attached as Exhibit 10.1. A copy of the Company’s news release is also attached as Exhibit 99.1
