Intermin Divests Menzies and Goongarrie Gold Projects

Perth, July 9, 2019 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Intermin Resources Limited (googlechartASX:IRC) (googlechartI6R:FRA) is pleased to advise it has reached agreement with Kingwest Resources Limited (googlechartASX:KWR) ("Kingwest") to divest its Menzies and Goongarrie gold projects 80 - 130km north of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia for a total consideration of A$8 million.

The acquisition comprises 38 mining, prospecting and exploration licenses with a current JORC resource of 195,000 ounces. Under the agreement, Kingwest will pay $3.375 million in cash and $4.625 million in Kingwest shares on the following terms 2:

- $750,000 in cash on execution (received), $1 million in cash and $3 million in Kingwest shares at a deemed price of $0.15 per share on settlement expected in the current September Quarter
- $1.625 million in cash and $1.625 million in Kingwest shares (the lower of the 30 day VWAP or $0.15 per share) 18 months after settlement

Intermin will become a substantial shareholder in Kingwest with Board representation in a non-executive capacity and will have a right to process or purchase any gold bearing ore from the sale tenements under standard commercial terms. The transaction is subject to Kingwest completing a $4 million capital raising and other standard conditions customary for a transaction of this nature.

Intermin remains fully focussed on its core projects in the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie regions, completing the consolidated Feasibility Study and advancing mine development and production plans 3. The divestment to a well credentialed and focussed exploration company is line with our strategy of monetising assets to assist in funding future growth plans while maintaining exposure and upside. The payment structure enables Kingwest to fund exploration while providing cash and shares to Intermin broadly aligned with the proposed payment structure for the potential Coolgardie Gold Project acquisition as announced to the ASX on the 11 February and 2 July 2019.

Commenting on the Menzies/Goongarrie divestment, Managing Director Mr Jon Price said:

"Intermin's core focus is firmly set on developing a standalone gold project in the Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie regions and this divestment supports this objective while retaining exposure to both Menzies/Goongarrie and Kingwest's current gold projects in the north-eastern Goldfields."

"The deal is another step in Intermin's strategy of monetising assets through mine development or generating value through the divestment of lower priority projects to support future growth plans and minimising shareholder dilution wherever possible."

"We look forward to working with the Kingwest team which is an active gold explorer in the region with an excellent technical team, prospective assets and strong financial backing."
