La Mancha Completes the Renewal of the Ity Mine's Mining Permit

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Mining permit of the Ity mine is re-conducted until November 2013
  • La Mancha's ownership in Ity is reduced from 51% to 45.9%
  • La Mancha remains operator of the mine.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- May 28, 2007 - La Mancha Resources Inc. (TSX: LMA) (hereinafter "La Mancha" or the "Company") reports that an agreement was reached last Friday between the Company, SODEMI, its current co-owner of the Ity mine, and the Ivorian authorities regarding the terms and conditions of the Ity mine's permit renewal.

According to this agreement, the mining permit of the Ity mine will be re-conducted until November 2013 with the following changes for La Mancha:

  • In accordance with the Ivorian mining law of 1995 that governs the grant of mining permits, the co-owners of the Ity mine have agreed to transfer to the government 10% of their respective interest in the mine as of Friday. Consequently, La Mancha's ownership in the Ity mine is now reduced to 45.9%, SODEMI's ownership is reduced to 44.1% while the Ivorian government, gains a 10% ownership in the mine.

  • Following the reduction of La Mancha's participation in the mine, the Company's influential status will change from controlling company to joint control of the Ity mine with its partners. Therefore, the Ity mine financial results will be presented following a proportionate consolidation method starting at the signing date of the shareholder's agreement, in accordance with the Canadian GAAP. The previously released financial information should not be affected by this change in ownership.

  • La Mancha's attributable gold production target for the Ity mine in 2007 has been revised from 21,400 ounces to 19,800 ounces of gold and consequently, La Mancha's total attributable production target for 2007 is revised to 75,300 ounces of gold.

In order to minimize the impacts of this ownership re-organization on the performance of the mine, the three co-owners of the mine have entered into a management agreement detailing their respective roles and obligations. The key provisions of this management agreement are as follows:

  • For the first year, the General Manager of the mine will be appointed by the co-owners upon a proposal of La Mancha. After that period, the General Manager will be appointed upon a proposal of the Ivorian parties while the appointment of the Deputy General Manager will be based on La Mancha's proposal.

  • The main decisions will be taken by the Board of the mine by a qualified majority involving at least one representative of each side (La Mancha and Ivorian representative).

  • La Mancha will also appoint the Technical Director as well as the Controller.

Mr Michel Cuilhe, President and CEO of La Mancha noted: "This renewed long term stability at the Ity mine allows La Mancha to envisage new ways of unlocking the value of this high potential asset. We are looking forward to work with our two partners at increasing reserves and resources and at improving the performance of the mine."
