Avanti Executes Offtake Agreement with SeAH

28/04/2014 1:30pm

Marketwired Canada


Avanti Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AVT)(PINKSHEETS:AVNMF) ("Avanti" or the
"Company") announced today that it has entered into an offtake agreement
("Agreement") with SeAH M&S Corp ("SeAH M&S") whereby SeAH M&S will purchase, at
prices based on the market price, up to 20 percent (20%) of its molybdenum
concentrate production from its Kitsault mine over a 13 year period. 


The Agreement represents approximately US$800 million of potential molybdenum
revenues using the price assumptions reported by Avanti in its April 1, 2014 NI
43-101 Feasibility Study Update. The Agreement provides for the annual delivery
of 4,200 metric tonnes of molybdenum concentrate (approximately 4.8 million
pounds of molybdenum content) to SeAH M&S over a 12 year period, with an
additional quantity up to 4,200 metric tonnes of molybdenum concentrate to be
delivered in the year prior to the start of the 12 year period. During the 12
year period, the delivery quantity can be adjusted upwards or downwards by 10%
by mutual agreement between the Company and SeAH M&S. 


The Company announced on June 20, 2013 that it has previously received a German
government "Untied Loan Guarantee" (UFK) approval in principle based upon its
offtake agreement with ThyssenKrupp Metallurgical Products GMBH for fifty
percent (50%) of its total molybdenum production from Kitsault for the life of
mine. KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH and UniCredit Bank AG have previously been mandated to
collectively provide, under the UFK program, a US$300 million tranche of the
total project debt facility needed for the development of the Kitsault mine. The
Agreement with SeAH M&S is conditional on participation of a Korean bank or
other Korean lender in a second tranche of the project debt facility currently
being arranged by the Company.


"We are very pleased to expand our relationship with the SeAH Group through this
offtake agreement with SeAH M&S. The SeAH Group has been a shareholder in Avanti
since 2010 and currently owns approximately 11% of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares. The SeAH M&S agreement is an important step in finalizing a
project debt finance facility for Kitsault." said Gordon Bogden, Avanti's
President and Chief Executive Officer.


SeAH Group was incorporated in 1960 and has grown to be one of the largest steel
manufacturers in South Korea. SeAH has operations in 10 countries globally with
over US$7 billion in revenues in 2013. SeAH M&S is part of the SeAH Group and
operates a molybdenum roasting plant in South Korea. 


Avanti is focused on the development of the past-producing Kitsault molybdenum
mine located north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The Kitsault Mine Project
received an environmental assessment certificate from the province of British
Columbia in March 2013. A federal environmental assessment decision is expected
in the near future.


Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that
term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts
responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
