    DJ Patricia Mining Gets C$1.10/Shr Takeover Proposal From EURO

    DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

    Patricia Mining Corp. (V.PAT) has granted EURO Resources S.A. (EUR.T) an exclusivity period in which to complete due diligence in connection with the proposed acquisition of Patricia at C$1.10 a share in cash.

    Patricia said it has also agreed not to solicit other proposals until after May 11.

    It said it agreed to grant the exclusivity period after receiving an expression of interest from EURO in the form of a non-binding proposal.


    The letter agreement provides that Patricia´s board may respond to an unsolicited proposal from another party where it has a fiduciary duty to do so, and that Patricia will provide EURO with the particulars of any such proposal.

    If EURO declines to match another proposal, or if the Patrica directors determine that any amended proposal from EURO is not financially equivalent or superior to the unsolicited proposal, Patricia has agreed to pay a break-up fee of C$1.5 million to EURO.

    Patricia, Toronto, is a mineral-exploration company and one of Canada´s newest gold producers. Its main asset is a 45% interest in the Island Gold Project in Ontario.

    EURO is a French company focused on acquiring and holding mineral royalties on operating gold mines.

    PARIS & TORONTO, March 14 /CNW/ - EURO Ressources S.A. ("EURO") (TSX: EUR.TO)(Paris: EUR.PA) announced today that it has entered into a letter agreement with Patricia Mining Corp. ("PAT") (TSX-V:PAT) whereby PAT has granted to EURO an exclusivity period in which to complete due diligence in respect of a proposed business combination of the two companies. PAT has also agreed not to solicit other proposals, subject to the exercise by PAT's board of directors of its fiduciary duties.

    PAT agreed to grant such exclusivity period upon having received an expression of interest from EURO in the form of a non-binding and conditional proposal for the acquisition of all of the outstanding common shares of PAT for a cash price of C$1.10 per share (including shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of PAT warrants and stock options) and all of the out-of-the-money stock options and warrants on the basis of C$0.01 per common share issuable thereunder.

    James H. Dunnett, Directeur-General of EURO commented that "the acquisition of PAT would provide an attractive second strategic asset for EURO. Richmont Mines Inc., the operator of the Island Gold mine, forecasts annual production of 65,000 ounces of gold from the Island Gold mine which would provide EURO with exposure to approx. 30,000 ounces of annual production through PAT's 45% joint venture interest. This is similar to the existing exposure to gold from the 10% royalty interest we have on Rosebel's 300,000 ounces of annual production. I believe the Island Gold mine represents an attractive step forward in our strategy of acquiring additional gold production and we look forward to working with PAT's management through the process of due diligence and financing to a successful closing".

    PAT has agreed not to solicit proposals relating to any acquisition of its common shares or similar transactions from other persons or entities until after May 11, 2007. The letter agreement provides that the board of PAT may respond to an unsolicited proposal from another party where it has a fiduciary duty to do so, and that PAT will provide EURO with the particulars of any such proposal. If the board of PAT determines that any such unsolicited proposal is financially superior, EURO will have the right, but not the obligation, to match any such unsolicited proposal. If EURO declines to match such proposal, or if the directors of PAT determine that any amended proposal from EURO is not financially equivalent or superior to the unsolicited proposal, PAT has agreed that a break fee to EURO of C$1.5 million is immediately payable.

    It is intended that the proposed transaction will be in the form of a formal take-over bid by a wholly-owned subsidiary of EURO, unless an alternative form of transaction is deemed advisable. The proposal is conditional, among other things, upon satisfactory due diligence and the negotiation of transaction documents. The proposal is also conditional on the parties entering into a support agreement to include among others the following terms and conditions: the unanimous favourable recommendation of the board of PAT; a break fee provision in the amount of C$1.5 million; the directors of PAT entering into lock-up agreements; no material adverse change; and notification by PAT to EURO of the receipt of alternative proposals from third parties and the right of EURO to match any such proposal. The completion of the take over bid would be conditional on a minimum tender of 66 2/3% of PAT's common shares on a fully-diluted basis.

    The proposed transaction is also conditional on EURO obtaining the necessary funds to complete the transaction by the issuance of additional equity and from a third party lender. As required by section 96 of the Securities Act (Ontario) and Ontario Securities Commission Rule 62-503, EURO may not commence the proposed take over bid transaction until necessary financing is available. EURO has agreed with PAT that it will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such financing on a timely basis.

    No definitive agreements have been reached, other than the exclusivity letter agreement. There can be no assurances that any transaction will result, or as to the terms thereof.

    Van de Golden Star Ressources site!

    At March 31, 2006 we owned 53% of EURO's outstanding common shares and as such consolidated EURO's financial results with our own. During the second quarter of 2006 we sold 362,029 of our EURO shares in open market transactions realizing approximately $0.7 million of cash. On June 19, 2006 we sold an additional four million EURO shares in a private transaction receiving $2.5 million of cash. The purchasers of the four million shares have agreed to pay additional consideration to Golden Star if they sell the shares at a gain. Since our investment in EURO shares was carried at zero basis, a gain was recognized on sale of the shares in an amount essentially equal to the cash proceeds received.

    In the fourth quarter of 2006, we sold an additional 18.0 million of our EURO common shares in a series of public and private transactions, bringing our EURO ownership position down to approximately 6% by December 31, 2006. Net proceeds of the sale totaled approximately $30.0 million. Since our carrying basis in the EURO shares was nil, the gain on share sale was equal to the $30.0 million of cash received. Following this sale Golden Star owned approximately 3.0 million of EURO's common shares as of December 31, 2006, most of which were sold in open market transactions in the first quarter of 2007. We continue to hold a right to receive from EURO a portion of EURO's future royalties from IAMGold's Rosebel Mine in Suriname on production exceeding two million but less than seven million ounces.

    The sale of EURO shares was in line with the goals and objectives originally envisaged in the 2004 EURO restructuring plan. The goal of the restructuring plan was to establish EURO as an independent and economically viable entity that would not be dependent on Golden Star for funding and that would concurrently bring liquidity to Golden Star's investment.
