(“OTCBB: MINE”), a progressive developer, producer and provider of clean, renewable energy solutions in Latin America, announced today that the Company has signed a binding letter of intent for the acquisition of a minimum 30% and a maximum 80% of the interest currently owned by Sesecapa Energy Company S.A. de C.V. (“SENCO”) in a 2.6 mega-watt, Hydro-Electric Project known as “Rio Sixe” located in the La Labor, Ocotepeque, Honduras, C.A. fromSENCO, a corporation formed and operated under the laws of Honduras.
The Agreement provides for the Company to acquire a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 80% interest of the 2.6 mega-watt Rio Sixe Project. The actual ownership percentage will be defined after completion of all studies and permitting. The project is currently in the Feasibility Stage of development allowing Minerco to participate in the feasibility, development, design and construction stages of the Project.

Minerco’s expected revenue from its interest in the Rio Sixe Project is between $500 thousand and $1.4 million depending on the interest acquired in the Project.

There can be no assurance that the final results and timing will be as anticipated.
“We are very excited to have a binding agreement for an interest in the Rio Sixe Project,” said Sam J Messina III, Minerco's CFO. “The project is another great addition to our growing portfolio of clean, renewable projects in Central America, and we are very pleased to expand our partnership with the experienced team at SENCO.”
