(“Magna Terra” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:MTT) (SSE:MTTCL) is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of 10 million common shares of Northern Superior Resources Inc. (“Northern”) at a price of $0.04 per share, for gross proceeds of $400,000. The Company sold the shares to Thorsen Fordyce Merchant Capital Inc., a company related to the President of Magna Terra in a transaction facilitated through the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”) at the then asking price. This transaction is a related party transaction under TSX-V policy 5.3 and is subject to its review. The Company continues to hold 1.5 million common shares of Northern, along with 5 million $0.075 warrants exercisable until March 6, 2019.
Lew Lawrick, President and CEO of Magna Terra commented; “this sale of Northern shares has provided cash working capital to the Company and eliminated an overhang in the Northern market. The Company will use the cash for general working capital purposes. With five drill ready projects in our Santa Cruz, Argentina precious metals exploration portfolio, it is anticipated that one or more of these projects will be advanced in priority through first phase drilling by the Company on its own, or with partners by the end of 2018”.
