VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Saturn Minerals Inc (CA:SMI 0.07, 0.00, 0.00%) (“Saturn”) has advised its Joint Venture partner, Swift Resources Inc. /quotes/comstock/11v!swr (CA:SWR 0.13, 0.00, 0.00%) (“Swift”) that under the provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement (See Saturn & Swift News Release dated May 28, 2008) entered into between Saturn and Swift dated June 25, 2008 for the Saskatchewan and Manitoba Coal Project, Swift will have until August 15, 2010 to contribute additional funds to the Joint Venture to retain its initial 40% interest. To date Swift has contributed $262,500 towards total costs of $1,917,508. In the event that Swift does not contribute its proportionate share on or before August 15, 2010 then under the provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement Swift’s participating interest would be automatically reduced to 16.73%.
Swift may, under the provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement, face further dilution in the event that Saturn expends additional funds on the project. The ultimate dilution to Swift, should its participating interest decline below 10%, would be a retained 5% net profit interest.
