Royal Road Minerals (CVE:RYR) announced a deal to sell its Turkish subsidiary as it focuses efforts on the Golondrina project and Colombia.
It has entered a purchase agreement with Ravello Investment Group (RIG) over all of the shares in Tigris Eurasia Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi.
That subsidiary holds the firm's exploration and mining licences with respect to the Pertek project, its exploration database for Turkey, and other assets of its former operations in Turkey.
Royal Road will receive US$250,000 in cash on the completion of transaction, expected on or before December 11 this year.
RIG will also pay a royalty equal to 1% of the net smelter returns from the sale of all mineral products that are produced or extracted by or on behalf of the subsidiary.
In the event of a sale of any of the properties, RIG will also pay an amount equal to 5% of the proceeds received.
Alongside the disposal, Dr Kerim Sener, the Ariana Resources (LON:AAU) representative on the Royal Road board, will be resigning as a director, the firm added.
