Sprott Resource Corp. Files September 30, 2007 Quarterly Report
/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/ TORONTO, Nov. 14 /CNW/ - (TSX: SCP) - Sprott Resource Corp. (the "Company" or "SRC") reports that it has released its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007 and that these consolidated financial statements and the related management's discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations ("MD&A") are available for viewing on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and at the Company's website at www.sprottresource.com. This past quarter included a series of significant events. On September 5, 2007, the Company entered into a management services agreement (the "MSA") with Sprott Consulting Ltd. ("SCL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sprott Asset Management Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the MSA, SCL was appointed by the Company to manage, or engage others to manage, the undertaking and affairs of the Company. In consideration for management services to be provided by SCL, the Company will pay an annual services fee equal to 2% of the net asset value of the Company (determined in accordance with the MSA), calculated and paid quarterly. In addition, the Company will pay an annual incentive fee equal to 20% of the pre-tax profits of the Company for such year, net of a hurdle rate of return based upon the Canadian 30-Year Generic Bond Index. A copy of the MSA can be obtained by visiting the Company's website or SEDAR. As part of the MSA, Eric Sprott, John Embry and Kevin Bambrough were appointed directors of the Company to fill the vacancies following the resignations of Ralph Fitch, Lawrence Dick and Tina Woodside. In addition, the then existing officers of the Company (other than William Filtness, Chief Financial Officer) resigned and Eric Sprott was appointed Chairman and Kevin Bambrough was appointed President and Chief Executive Officer. Also on September 5, 2007, the Company closed a $60 million private placement, which comprised of the issuance of 40 million units at $1.50 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant being exercisable for two years at $2.50. High Desert Gold Corporation ("HDG"), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its initial public offering on October 17, 2007 (the "HDG IPO"). As a result of the HDG IPO, the Company's interest in HDG, through its holding of 6 million common shares, has been diluted to approximately 17%. This reduced interest has prevented the Company from continuing to use HDG's assets to meet its TSX listing requirements. As a result, TSX notified the Company that it would be reviewing the Company's listing under its remedial review process. The Company has 120 days from the date of the HDG IPO to comply with its TSX listing requirements. The Company is currently in advanced negotiations on a number of properties with a view to acquiring an interest in a qualifying property to enable the Company to meet the TSX listing requirements. The Company is in a strong financial position with working capital of $66 million as at September 30, 2007. In addition, the Company holds a portfolio of investments valued at $8.9 million as at September 30, 2007. The Company's new management is continuing to seek out investments in the natural resource sector, in which to deploy its working capital.
