USCorp (OTCBB:USCS) today provided further details with regard to its recently announced agreement to form a joint venture to fund up to $125 million to develop gold and silver properties.

USCorp has signed an agreement with a fully reporting public US company, which is the holding company of a major Chinese-based conglomerate with revenues in excess of $700 million (USD) annually, to form a joint venture to complete exploration and begin development of USCorp's mining properties. The US company, holding Chinese assets, has requested confidentiality until the joint venture is funded with an initial $25 million, which must take place on or before January 15, 2011.

The agreement calls for USCorp to contribute to the joint venture the claims it presently owns in Arizona and California once the $25 million has been received by the joint venture. It is the responsibility of the US company, holding Chinese assets, to secure the $25 million in funding for the joint venture. In the event that the necessary initial funding is unable to be raised, the agreement provides that it can be cancelled and neither USCorp nor the Chinese partner will be obligated to perform under the Agreement. Each entity will own 50 percent of the joint venture. Initially the joint venture is expected to carry out the following:

  • Completion of the drilling program at Twin Peaks in Arizona
  • Initiating the drilling program at Picacho Salton in California
  • Updating the mineralization estimates in the Company's Technical Reports
  • Completion of all engineering and permitting on the two projects
  • Retirement of all existing debt
  • Commencement of mining operations.

This newly-formed joint venture entity will seek to raise an additional $100 million (USD) to expand its asset base but no assurance can be given that either funding will be successful.

Upon the completion of the funding the claims will be transferred to the joint venture and the joint venture is expected to complete the drilling and development of the properties. Reports from previous drilling show significant gold and silver mineralization on the properties. This joint venture should enable completion of the drilling programs in Arizona and California. USCorp's Twin Peaks property in Yavapai County, Arizona is near to, and on the same fault zone as the world famous Freeport-McMoRan mine in Arizona. USCorp's Picacho Salton Property, in California, is adjacent to both NewGold's open pit gold mine and the Goldcorp claims group in Imperial County California.
