Mr. Ioannis Tsitos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Stronghold stated: “ We are
very pleased to complete the spin out of our Brazilian subsidiary to Kensington. From
the time we were granted the option to acquire the advanced Eagle Mountain project in
Guyana, we have not been able to direct sufficient management attention or resources to
developing the Tucuma Project held by Stronghold Brasil Mineração Ltda. We have
always held the view that the Tucuma Project is highly prospective and an excellent
exploration asset, however our corporate strategy is to focus on the development of Eagle
Mountain, and now Kensington can carry on the exploration and development of the
Tucuma Property. By virtue of our shareholding position in Kensington, Stronghold will
continue to have upside exposure in any exploration success, while not diluting
Stronghold to fund same. Our entire Brazilian team will shift over to Kensington
immediately. We wish to thank them for all their efforts on behalf of Stronghold and its
shareholders.”
