Karsten Energy Corp. (TSX VENTURE:KAY.P) ("Karsten") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an Option Agreement dated July 28, 2014 (the "Option Agreement") with Metallis Resources Inc. (TSXV: MTS) ("Metallis"). Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Karsten will, upon receipt of acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), have the option (the "Option") to acquire from Metallis an undivided 100% interest in and to 34 claims known as the Mackenzie Mountains Iron-Copper Property (the "Mackenzie Property") located in the Mackenzie Mining District, Northwest Territories, Canada. The Option Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent on or before October 31, 2014, which conditions precedent include receipt by Karsten of a satisfactory NI43-101 report respecting the Mackenzie Property, completion of a financing for gross proceeds of not less than $300,000 and receipt of notice of acceptance from the Exchange of the Option Agreement and the financing. Karsten is a Capital Pool Company and the grant of the Option to Karsten is intended to constitute the Company's qualifying transaction (the "Qualifying Transaction") under Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. The Company intends to be listed on the Exchange as a Tier 2 mining issuer following completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The grant of the Option is an arm's length transaction and Karsten does not expect shareholder approval to be required in accordance with Exchange policies. Mackenzie Property The Mackenzie Property is an early stage iron-copper property. The property comprises 34 mineral claims that collectively cover 21,000 hectares of Crown land in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The property, which is 100% owned by Metallis, is situated 190 kilometers west of the town of Norman Wells on the Mackenzie River. Technical information with respect to the Mackenzie Property will be included in Karsten's Filing Statement. Option Terms Upon and subject to receipt of Exchange acceptance of the Option Agreement, Karsten will have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a 100% interest in the Mackenzie Property by: a. paying a total of approximately $300,000 to Metallis on or before the dates specified below: i. $25,000 upon execution of the Option Agreement, which payment has been made; i. a further $21,455.55 for the cost of extensions on several claims expiring in 2014 on the date the Exchange gives notice of acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction (the "Acceptance Date"); and i. a further $250,000 on or before the fifth anniversary of the Acceptance Date; b. incurring a total of $200,000 in expenditures on the Mackenzie Property on or before the fifth anniversary of the Acceptance Date; c. issuing 250,000 common shares to Metallis on or before the fifth anniversary of the Acceptance Date; and d. paying the annual assessment fees due to the Government of the Northwest Territories, or incurring eligible exploration expenses, in respect of the Mackenzie Property in order to keep the property concessions in good standing. Metallis will retain a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Property (the "Royalty Interest"). Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Karsten may elect to purchase all or a part of the Royalty Interest for a purchase price of $500,000 for each one-half of one percent of the Royalty Interest up to an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000. Private Placement Karsten intends to carry out a non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of not less than $300,000 (the "Private Placement") in order to satisfy the terms of the Option Agreement. The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to finance the recommended Phase 1 work program on the Mackenzie Property and for general working capital.
