MONTRÉAL,
Sept. 16
/CNW/ - KWG Resources Inc. (TSX-V: KWG) ("KWG") advises that KWG and Spider have terminated past area of interest agreements. As a result of the termination of these agreements yesterday, the parties will no longer be obliged to share acquisitions in any area of interest covered by the agreements, or have any obligation to each other regarding business opportunities in such areas of interest.
To enable KWG and Spider to act independently of each other, the parties have terminated agreements signed between them in
April 2003
and
May 2006
. Following KWG's financial reorganization in 1998, the
April 2003
agreement consolidated various arrangements between the parties under a joint venture initially constituted in 1992. When KWG negotiated an option on a block of claims from Freewest Resources
Canada
Inc in 2005, the area-of-interest provisions of the 2003 agreement dictated that the option be shared with Spider. A further agreement governing the equally-earned optioned interests was completed by the parties in
May 2006
.
As a result of amendments to the terms of the Freewest Option agreement that the three parties to it announced in individual news releases on
Monday, September 14th 2009
, the two underlying agreements between KWG and Spider have now been terminated in order to permit the parties to pursue their independent business interests.

of
Toronto
