Prize Mining Announces Proposed Acquisition of the Red Ridge
Property
======================================================================
CALGARY, ALBERTA --- Prize Mining Corporation ("Prize") (TSXV: PRZ) is
pleased to report that it has entered into negotiations with Larry
Bratvold ("Bratvold') and Brian Scott ("Scott") (Bratvold and Scott are
collectively referred to as the "Optionor") to acquire a 100% interest
in the Optionor's Red Ridge Gold Project. The Red Ridge Gold Project
is comprised of approximately 1,400 acres and is located in the
Whitehorse mining district of Yukon Territory.
Prize is pleased with the results of its due diligence review of the
Red Ridge Gold Project and now expects to enter into an option
agreement pursuant to which it would have the right to purchase a 100%
interest in the Red Ridge Gold Project by paying $350,000 and issuing
to the Optionor 700,000 common shares of Prize in tranches over the
course of the three years following the date of the option agreement.
In addition, it is anticipated that the option agreement will provide
that Prize will be obliged to incur expenditures on the Red Ridge Gold
Project totalling $380,000 over the course of the three years following
the date of the option agreement in order to maintain its right to
purchase the Red Ridge Gold Project. It is also anticipated that the
Optionor will be granted a royalty in an amount equal to 3% of net
smelter returns in all minerals produced from the Red Ridge Gold
Project and that Prize will have the option to purchase one-half of
such royalty for $2,000,000. Additional information regarding the Red
Ridge Gold Project and the terms and conditions of the associated
option agreement will be announced in due course.
The Corporation also announces that it continues to advance
negotiations with the Optionor in respect of the Primrose Moly Project
first announced on September 12, 2007.
Although Prize anticipates completing negotiations in respect of both
the Red Ridge Gold Project and the Primrose Moly Project soon, there is
no certainty that Prize will successfully conclude negotiations with
the Optionor and acquire the right to purchase these Projects. The
completion of the Transaction is subject to acceptance by the TSX
Venture Exchange.
