USPR Announces a Private Investment of $12,000,000
Lake Mary, Florida – May 25, 2010
M. Jack Kugler, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of U.S. Precious Metals, Inc. (OTC BB: USPR.OB) (“USPR”), announced that USPR has entered into a binding agreement to issue 49% of the equity of the Company and 10% of the gross output of the Company’s mining concessions to an investor for an aggregate purchase price of $12,000,000. The shares issuable pursuant to this transaction have not been (and will not be) registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or any applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The Company intends to use the proceeds of the sale of the interest in the Company to (a) continue its drilling campaign in order to provide data on the Company’s estimated mineral resources, (b) conduct feasibility studies and (c) prepare for a production campaign. The funding is critical to the Company’s ability to move forward with these important steps in developing the concessions and creating revenues from the minerals to which they relate. Dave Burney, President, said, “this infusion of capital will allow the Company to significantly expand its current drilling campaign and move us to the next level.”
