Vancouver, British Columbia – Luminex Resources Corp. (TSXV: LR) (OTCQX: LUMIF) (the “Company” or “Luminex”) is pleased to advise that it has successfully reached agreement with a subsidiary of Anglo American plc (“Anglo American”) to amend and restate the Pegasus earn-in and joint venture agreement (“Amended Earn-In Agreement”). Under the Amended Earn-In Agreement the Company has agreed to Anglo American having a right to earn-in and retain the original 60% earn-in ownership threshold by spending US$15M more than expenditures to date, of which US$10M must be allocated to direct drilling costs. Luminex will also be owed US$3.9M by way of cash payments to complete the earn-in to 60% ownership. Full details regarding the revised earn-in terms and schedule are below in Table 1. In addition, the parties have agreed to exit a portion of the exploration tenure (Pegasus B) which can’t be meaningfully progressed in the short to medium term. Anglo American will also apply to reduce the concession size at Pegasus A based on field work completed since 2018.

Marshall Koval, CEO and Director commented: “Our team continues to believe that Pegasus has the potential for large scale copper porphyry discoveries and is happy to see Anglo American has decided to continue its work and drilling.”

Table 1: Comparison of Earn-in Terms

In the event of Anglo American withdrawing from the joint venture prior to the expiry of the earn-in period, it will be entitled to a net smelter royalty and has a clawback right in the event of a report determining that the contained copper equivalent is greater than or equal to two million five hundred thousand tonnes.
