SONO RESOURCES RECEIVES FINAL MINISTRY APPROVAL AND CLOSES THE ACQUISITION OF COPPER AND SILVER LICENSES IN BOTSWANA, AFRICA
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sono Resources Inc. (OTCQB-SRCI); the "Company" or "Sono") has received final regulatory approval by the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water of Botswana to acquire three mineral exploration licenses covering 2,965.6 square kilometers in Northwest Botswana, Africa.
On April 1, 2011, Sono entered into a formal Share Purchase Agreement to purchase 95 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Bonnyridge (PTY) Ltd. Bonnyridge (PTY) is the legal and beneficial owner of three mineral exploration license blocks covering 2,965.6 square kilometers in Northwestern Botswana, Africa. Sono subsequently entered into an amending agreement, which further extended the closing of the purchase until final ministry approval was obtained. Final ministry approval was received on July 22, 2011.
The area where the licenses are located has been widely characterized as an extension of the Kalahari Copper Belt, which is believed to extend from Zambia through Botswana and into Namibia. The belt is home to many producing copper mines and many more recent and successful exploration activities.
Peter Wilson, CEO of Sono Resources states, "The recent increase in world base and precious metal prices combined with projected demand, are compelling reasons to explore for copper and silver in one of the last possible district sized mineral belts left on the planet. This final approval and closing opens the door for us to immediately begin our well-planned exploration program".
