The JV contemplates that each party will own 50% of target projects and will each contribute its share of the initial required funding. The objective of the JV is to form a partnership between the two companies to explore and develop mineral resources and reserves in the Iberian Peninsula. The JV is contingent upon completing definitive agreements prior to acquisition of the initial JV project. The definitive agreements will be based on the terms of the binding letter agreement. The JV will participate in public tenders in Spain to solicit the granting of mining rights on advanced or brownfield projects in historical mining districts in northern Spain, which represent one of the major undeveloped resources for base metals in Europe.

The initial financial contribution by the parties which will be used for the initial acquisition and resource drilling is expected to be approximately EUR2.5 million (EUR1.25M each). Emerita, through a wholly owned subsidiary, will be responsible for the technical assessment of the mining projects, laying out the exploration plans and determining the economic viability of any potential projects. Aldesa has significant experience participating in public tenders in Spain and will be responsible for managing the public tender process and will contribute its capabilities as a construction company.

The Aldesa Group of Companies (http://www.aldesa.es/) is a specialized infrastructure construction group with over 40 years of experience in the construction industry in Spain. Aldesa is dedicated to the construction of railways, highways, tunnels for transportation, mining projects and landmarks buildings and other industrial activities, which mainly include energy projects, traffic and lighting systems and installation. Over the past seven years, Aldesa has evolved from a national construction company to a diversified international group with a significant presence in Mexico and Poland, as well as operations in Peru, Guatemala, Romania and India.
