NEWS RELEASE
UPDATE ON PROPERTY ACQUISITION TRANSACTION BETWEEN JIULIAN AND GUNPOINT
Jiulian Resources Inc. (“Jiulian”) (TSXV: JLR) and Gunpoint Exploration Ltd. (“Gunpoint”) (TSXV: GUN) are providing an update on the property acquisition transaction which was previously announced by way of a joint news release dated February 1, 2011.
About the Property Acquisition Transaction
Gunpoint and Jiulian entered into an agreement dated effective January 25, 2011 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Jiulian will acquire certain mineral exploration properties from Gunpoint in the Kamloops and Nicola Mining Districts in British Columbia. The parties have since agreed to amend the Agreement. Pursuant to the amended Agreement, Jiulian will purchase a 100% interest in Gunpoint’s Big Kidd and Little Fort claims groups (the “Acquisition”). The purchase price for these two groups of claims is a cash payment to Gunpoint of $100,000 and the issuance 1,875,000 common shares of Jiulian. Under the amended Agreement, there is no longer an option for Jiulian to purchase Gunpoint’s Brassie Creek and Craigmont claims groups, as Gunpoint has decided to give up its interest in the Craigmont claims and Jiulian, based on a preliminary review, no longer wanted the option. Jiulian’s title to the Big Kidd and Little Fort claims will be subject to a net smelter return royalty in favour of Gunpoint and applicable Crown royalties. Gunpoint and Jiulian are at arm’s length to each other. Following the closing of the Acquisition, Dr. E. Max Baker will join the board of directors of Jiulian. Jiulian has commenced preparation of a technical report on the Big Kidd property.
The Acquisition is subject to TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) approval.. Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur within five days of TSXV approval. No finder’s fee is payable in connection with the Acquisition.
