CALGARY, Alberta, July 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bocana Resources Corp. (TSXV: BOCA) (Frankfurt: VC1) ("Bocana" or the "Company") announces it terminated the non-binding letter of intent dated March 25, 2024 (the "LOI") and accordingly has declined to proceed with the proposed purchase offer for the acquisition (the "Transaction") of all of the outstanding shares of Empresa Minera Inti Raymi S.A. ("INTI RAYMI") in Bolivia.

The LOI provided a good faith due diligence period which, upon the Company's satisfaction, would lead to a definitive agreement for the acquisition. While the Company had secured institutional financial commitments and completed preliminary geological, technical and operating assessments, the due diligence identified deficiencies and material items that required additional INTI RAYMI disclosures that have not been satisfied. Accordingly, Bocana has elected not to proceed with a stock purchase acquisition of INTI RAYMI at this time and has terminated the LOI.

Additionally, the Company had requested from the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") an extension of time for the Company to hold the annual shareholder meeting, in the event that any shareholder approvals would be necessary as a result of the proposed transaction with INTI RAYMI. The extension was granted and the Company intends to hold the annual general meeting prior to October 31, 2024 ("AGM"). Additional details on the AGM will be forthcoming.
