Hemisphere Gold Inc. Negotiating With Marken Capital Corp.
RENO, Nev., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hemisphere Gold Inc.
(Pink Sheets: HPGI), a gold exploration, property acquisition and mining
development company is currently negotiating with Marken Capital Corp
("Marken") for an extension on the acquisition agreement that was made in
November 2006.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement for the Suriname project run
by Orion Resources NV ("Orion"), Hemisphere, through its major shareholder,
was to have provided US$2,000,000 funding to Orion by November 11th, 2007 or
the project would be returned to Marken's control. Hemisphere did not meet the
full funding requirement by November 11th and was granted an extension until
November 20th, 2007 to present an acceptable proposal to Marken for the
resolution of the matter. As Hemisphere has not been able to raise sufficient
capital to meet the US$2,000,000 requirement, in part due to recent
unauthorized release of information which has caused severe harm to the
Company, it has been negotiating with Marken for a further extension. Marken
has agreed to continue with negotiations however, should an agreement not be
reached then Marken will enforce its rights under the terms of the acquisition
agreement and take back the control of Orion Resources and all of its assets.
To date Hemisphere has provided approximately US$1,200,000 of the US$2,000,000
required.
The Company anticipates reaching an agreement within the next week or so
and will keep shareholders advised of any developments.
