('Paramount') for a total consideration of up to $5.3 million USD. The sale is subject to the signing of a definitive agreement by May 29, 2009 and to satisfaction of various conditions precedent prior to closing. Closing is scheduled prior to the end of June 2009 and a 5.7% commission is payable on the closing of the sale. Mexoro's Guazapares project comprises 12 claims close to Paramount's San Miguel discovery. The purchase price is to be paid in two stages. The first payment of $3.7 million will be deposited into escrow at closing, and will be released from escrow to Mexoro when the transfer of the 12 claims to Paramount is finalized. An additional payment of $1.6 million is due to Mexoro if, within 36 months following execution of the letter of agreement, either (i) Paramount Gold de Mexico SA de C.V. is sold by Paramount, either through a stock sale or a sale of substantially all of its assets, or (ii) Paramount's San Miguel project is put into commercial production. Barry Quiroz, President of Mexoro, stated, 'The sale of the properties to Paramount is a good deal for Mexoro. Our main focus is completing our feasibility study at Cieneguita and ramping up production there. The initial cash payment from Paramount, while not diluting shares for existing investors, will provide Mexoro with additional working capital to explore its existing properties, retire debt and allow us to pursue additional attractive properties.'
