27 October 2014: Chesser closes sale of Kestanelik Project

ASX Announcement & Media Release

27 October 2014

Chesser Resources closes Kestanelik sale.

Chesser Resources has completed the sale of the Kestanelik project.

Cash payment of US$40 million has been received.

Chesser to seek shareholder approval for a capital return to shareholders of A$0.15 per share

Payment of Return of Capital anticipated to occur on December 12, 2014

Company is well positioned to advance its existing projects and pursue new growth opportunities.

Chesser Resources Ltd (ASX:CHZ) has completed the sale of the Kestanelik project in north-west
Turkey, receiving proceeds of $US40 million overnight.
After transaction costs and currency translation, net proceeds in Australian dollars total approximately A$42.051 million.
Having successfully finalised the sale, Chesser Directors will seek shareholder approval for a capital return of A$0.15 per share, with shareholders to vote on the proposal at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in Brisbane on November 20.
If the capital return is approved, Chesser will retain approximately A$8.91 million in cash, to be used for working capital and to continue development of the company's two remaining gold projects in Turkey, at Sisorta and Catak.
Meanwhile, the company is actively reviewing opportunities to add growth projects to its portfolio, with a focus on precious metals exploration and development in favourable jurisdictions where Directors and senior management can apply their skills and experience to create value for shareholders.
Chesser Managing Director Rick Valenta said the Company was at an exciting point in its development.
"We have been able to generate excellent returns for shareholders through the cash sale of the Kestanelik project at a healthy premium to the prevailing share market valuation of the company, and Directors believe it is appropriate to reward shareholders with the planned capital return.
"We are also able to differentiate ourselves from many junior resources companies in the market today, because we are now in the enviable position of having sufficient cash reserves to take advantage of opportunities in the market. While we are excited at the prospects emerging, we are determined to apply a rigorous and disciplined approach in our evaluation of any potential expansions," he said.

About Chesser Resources Limited

Chesser Resources is an Australian-based ASX-listed exploration company exploring for gold and base metals in Turkey. The Company has two current projects, one at Catak and one at Sisorta. At Sisorta, the company has declared a 303,000 oz gold resource (91,000 oz Indicated and 212,000 oz Inferred) and has been granted an operating licence for an open pit heap leach gold project. Exploration drilling is ongoing at the project, with a resource update planned for the first half of 2015. Chesser has vested a 51% interest in the project with Turkish company Eurasian. The Catak project is in the Eastern Pontides 70km west-north-west of Sisorta. Catak is a well- preserved epithermal vein system in Andesites, with good indications of high-grade potential and mineable widths of veins. A program of mapping, surface sampling and geophysics is to be conducted at Catak in the first half of 2015. The Board and management of Chesser are committed to unlocking value from these projects while actively reviewing opportunities to add growth projects to its portfolio, with a focus on precious metals exploration and development in jurisdictions where Directors and s enior management can apply their skills and experience to create value for shareholders.
