Why Invest? News and Media Ashdown Molybdenum Mine On February 27th, 2009, Golden Phoenix announced it would sell 100% of its interest in the Ashdown Project LLC to Win-Eldrich Mines Limited. Under the original terms of the binding memorandum of understanding, Win-Eldrich agreed to pay US$5.3 million to Golden Phoenix, which was  satisfied by the issuance of a Secured Promissory Note on May 13, 2009, for the full amount of the purchase price. The agreement amicably resolved all outstanding arbitration issues between the parties. However, on April 15, 2010, in furtherance of its debt reduction efforts, Golden Phoenix entered into a series of agreements whereby it agreed to reduce the principal amount owed by Win-Eldrich from US$5.3 million to Four Million Two Hundred Thirty-One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty- Five Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($4,231,925.19). In exchange for this principal amount reduction, Win-Eldrich agreed to assume Golden Phoenix debts totaling One Million Sixty Eight Thousand Seventy Four Dollars and Eighty One Cents ($1,068,074.81). The Replacement Secured Promissory Note in the amount of Four Million Two Hundred Thirty-One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars and Nineteen Cents ($4,231,925.19) bears interest at a rate of 5.25% per annum, with interest accruing from April 1, 2011, and monthly payments to commence as of May 1, 2011, and continue in equal monthly installments for forty-nine (49) months until the Secured Promissory Note’s maturity date of April 1, 2015, unless sooner accelerated upon an event of default. Documentation on the evolution of this transaction can be found in Golden Phoenix’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 21, 2010; May 19, 2009; and March 3, 2009.
