VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 26, 2014) - Salazar Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SRL)(CCG.F) Salazar Resources Ltd. ("the Company") and Guangshou Group Co. Ltd. ("Guangshou"), a privately-held Chinese international mining conglomerate, announce that they have entered into a letter-of-intent ("LOI") for a Joint Venture to develop the Curipamba Project and advance the El Domo deposit to commercial production. The LOI sets out certain terms and conditions pursuant to which Guangshou will finance development of the El Domo deposit to commercial production, with a commitment to invest $50 Million to earn a 60% equity interest in Curimining S.A., an Ecuador corporation that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Salazar, all of which is subject to the negotiation of a definitive development and shareholders agreement ("Definitive Agreement") between Guangshou and Salazar.

The El Domo deposit lies within the "Las Naves" concession, which is one of the 7 concessions that make up the Curipamba project (30,327.18 hectares) in the Bolivar and Los Rios Provinces in central Ecuador. El Domo is a high-grade, VMS-type deposit, with the following indicated and inferred resources as announced in the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) in March 2014:

Basic Terms of the Letter-of-Intent:

Under the LOI, and subject to approval of the applicable regulatory authorities, Guangshou is purchasing 4,545,455 units of the Company at $0.22 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant, with each full warrant being exercisable to acquire one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of 18 months. Thereafter, subject to finalizing the Definitive Agreement, Guangshou will have the right to earn a 60% interest in the Curipamba project by funding $50 million of development costs to bring the project into commercial production, in accordance with medium scale mining laws of Ecuador, within three years of material development permits. If development costs exceed $50 million, then Guangshou will provide the Company's share of required funding by way of loans, to be repaid with interest, from production profits. The Definitive Agreement will include other standard clauses, for transactions of this nature.

The letter of intent also states that once the Definitive Agreement is finalized, Guangshou will provide additional corporate funding to the Company of up to $1 million per year over the next three years, beginning in 2015, by way of private placement. In addition, Guangshou will, on signing of the Definitive Agreement, reimburse the Company $500,000 for certain land tenure payments and contributions to administrative overhead expenses previously incurred by the Company, and will also reimburse the Company for any project-related expenditures incurred between the date of the LOI and date the Definitive Agreement is finalized.

Mr. Fredy Salazar, CEO of Salazar Resources, stated, "We are pleased to sign this letter of intent, which we feel is in the best interests of our shareholders. The LOI allows us to advance El Domo to commercial production while pursuing new opportunities that will add value to our shareholders."

Mr. Huang Guoqin, Chairman of Guangshou Group Co. Ltd., stated, "We look forward to using our 20+ years of mining experience, including in Ecuador, to work with Salazar to advance the El Domo deposit to commercial production under the medium scale mining provisions of Ecuadorian Mining Law."

More news regarding this transaction is expected as negotiations advance towards the "Definitive Agreement". The Parties have agreed to a 60-day completion period under the LOI, during which time the Parties will work to finalize the Definitive Agreement and the detailed terms of the proposed transaction.

A Finder's Fee will be payable to Scarsdale Equities LLC on this transaction.
