White Rock, BC (FSCwire) - Orsu Metals Corporation (TSX-V: OSU) ("Orsu" or the "Company") closed the purchase of the initial 30% interest in Sibzoloto Investments Limited ("Sibzoloto"), the indirect holder of the Sergeevskoe gold project in Russia on May 18, 2017.

Pursuant to the share purchase agreement, Orsu and the four sellers (the "Sellers") of Sibzoloto had agreed that if the sale of Karchiga completed prior to September 30, 2017 for proceeds of not less than US$7,750,000, then the Sellers would have sold and Orsu would have purchased the remaining 700 (70%) shares of Sibzoloto for par value consideration of ?,?700 and US$420,000 cash. In the event the sale of Karchiga did not close before September 30, 2017 for the expected amount then Orsu and the Sellers agreed to negotiate the terms an amendment at that time.

Given the sale of Karchiga completed on October 11, 2017, for proceeds of US$5,900,000, the Company and the Sellers have agreed to amended terms. Subject to the acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange, and completion of definitive agreements, on closing the Sellers will transfer 600 of their 700 shares to Orsu for ?,?600 and US$420,000 cash and Orsu will grant the Sellers a net smelter return royalty of 0.75% on the Sergeevskoe project, to be capped at US$7,500,000 at which point it will expire.

Orsu will carry the Sellers 10% interest until completion of a definitive feasibility study on the Sergeevskoe project, at which point the 10% interest will become a participating interest subject to dilution.

Sergey V. Kurzin, the Executive Chairman of Orsu commented: "I am very pleased with the spirit of co-operation and confidence displayed by the Sellers in the Sergeevskoe project demonstrated during these negotiations that will result in Orsu owning 90% of this promising project.Orsu has been actively exploring the project since November 2016, and expects to provide an update on results in the coming weeks."
