By terms of this transaction, 13.063 million of Gentor's previously authorized and unissued common shares will be exchanged for ownership of 100% of the BVI company.
Upon the conclusion of the transaction, Gentor will receive secured earn-in rights in two exploration blocks in the Sultanate of Oman, totalling 1,266 square kilometers.
