Benjamin Hill Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Interest in Fully Permitted Coal Project

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2023) - Benjamin Hill Mining Corp. (CSE: BNN) (OTCQB: BNNHF) (FSE: 5YZ0) ("BNN" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "LOI") with Aion Mining Corp. ("Aion") outlining the proposed transaction whereby the Company will acquire 20% of Aion and its interest in a fully permitted coal project located in Santander, Colombia (the "Proposed Transaction").

Key components to the acquisition:

  • The property contains eight known seams of metallurgical and thermal coal from recent and historical diamond drilling programs and surface exposures;
  • The project is fully permitted under Colombian Law, including environmental licencing;
  • Location and existing regional coal mining infrastructure is excellent.

The company will continue to compile all recent and historical data and perform underground bulk sampling of the different seams. The purpose of this exploration program is to better establish the grades and ground conditions of known coal seams.

CEO, Cole McClay states: "Benjamin Hill is excited to have the opportunity to work with a highly skilled Colombian mining team to develop a coal asset with a path to generating revenue. There is a solid indication demand for coal assets in the global market will remain strong, as clean thermal technologies continue to emerge, while over 70% of the world's steel is currently produced using coal. As a measure of the appetite for coal projects, just yesterday, we saw Teck sell its coal interests to Glencore, Nippon Steel Corp., and Posco Holdings for $8.9 billion."

It is anticipated that the aggregate purchase price for the Proposed Transaction will be $1,125,000, payable as follows:

  • $600,000 in cash; and
  • $525,000 in common shares of the Company at a price per share equal to the closing of the share price of the Company on the closing date of the Proposed Transaction, subject to CSE policies.

The LOI also contains a provision whereby upon the close of the Proposed Transaction, the Company will be granted an anti-dilution right to ensure the Company is able to maintain its 20% ownership of Aion.

Aion is a non-arm's length party to the Company by reason of sharing a common director, Cole McClay. The terms of the LOI were reviewed and approved by a committee of the Company's independent directors.

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions and any other conditions agreed to by the parties in a definitive share purchase agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") including: receipt of all necessary approvals and consents on terms satisfactory to the parties, and completion of a due diligence investigation into Aion by the Company and its representatives.

There are no assurance or guarantees that the proposed transaction will be completed, whether on the terms and conditions described above or at all. The Company will provide further updates as they become available.
