U
Mining Resources Inc. Announces More Details on Mining Concession
& Infrastructure Redevelopment Agreement in Guinea
Friday April 4, 9:25 am ET
NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 4,
2008 -- U Mining Resources Inc. (Other OTC:UMNG.PK
- News)
today provided updates on the impending agreement in the
Republic of Guinea. Comitrag S.A., the majority-owned subsidiary
of U Mining, has been preparing the necessary additional documentation
to satisfy the requirements of the Companys official application
for the BOOT Agreement.
When U Mining and Comitrag met with Guineas Prime Minister
in late March, it was decided that additional documentation should
be prepared over the coming weeks to further cement this important
relationship and net the support of both the President of Guinea
and the Minister of Mining. This information will be sent to and
examined by a Special Committee in the Republic within a week, who
in turn will review the information and then report their findings
to the Minister of Mining.
The BOOT Agreement that Comitrag and U Mining should soon be awarded
is comprised of a number of addendums that are instrumental to the
successful execution of the agreement. These include (among a few
others):
1) A report defining the primary budget for the feasibility study(ies)
for both development of the iron-ore mining concession, and construction
of the railway corridor, which will extend from the concession to
Guinea's planned, international seaport near Conakry;
2) A proposal from the electromotive division of General Motors
for the necessary equipment to build the Trans-Guinea railway corridor,
and;
3) Identification of those firms that U Mining and Comitrag have
earmarked for participation in this global working agreement, and
proof of their financial commitments.

Regarding the latter, Comitrag S.A. has just recently received
a substantial financial commitment from the U.S.-based Export-Import
Bank (Ex-Im Bank) to finance 60% of the project. This guarantee
from Ex-Im is extremely important, as it will help U Mining and
Comitrag in their quest to further impress upon the government
of the Republic Of Guinea their commitment to -- and capability
to execute on -- this very important project.
Ex-Im Bank is an independently run, U.S. Government agency that
helps finance the export of U.S. goods and services primarily
to emerging markets throughout the world. It accomplishes its
mission by providing loan guarantees and export credit insurance
to a range of U.S.-based businesses conducting operations overseas.
