AUSTRALIAN AFFILIATE REPORTS SIGNING OF AGREEMENTS TO COMMENCE TRANSFER OF WOODLAWN MINING LEASE
Tri Origin Exploration Ltd. (TOE:TSX-V) (the ?Company?) is pleased to announce that its Australian affiliate, Tri Origin Minerals Ltd. (?TRO?), has today executed agreements with Veolia Environmental Services (Australia) Pty Limited (?Veolia?) which are required for any future development at the site of the Woodlawn zinc/copper projects in NSW. Veolia currently carries out non-mining operations at the Woodlawn site.
The execution of these agreements does not result in or trigger any funding obligations for TRO, but, in particular, allows TRO to submit a request to the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries to affect the transfer of the existing Woodlawn Mining Lease (?SML 20?) to TRO at the relevant time in the future. As well, the agreements detail the framework for future cooperation and sharing of infrastructure between TRO and Veolia and grant TRO the right, but not the obligation, to acquire approximately 1,300 hectares of land to meet Woodlawn Retreatment Project (WRP) and Woodlawn Underground Project (WUP) development and operational requirements.
