/EINPresswire.com/ -- PITTSBURGH, PA--(Marketwired - October 13, 2015) - Cardinal Resources Inc. (OTC PINK: CDNL), a global producer of patented, solar powered, community-scale drinking water systems, today announced it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with an Asian consortium for an equity investment and an Asian Distribution Joint Venture.

The China-based consortium is being formed to market and commercialize Cardinal Resources' water treatment technologies in Asia and other international markets.

The investment, if closed, will consist of two tranches which combined would total between $6-12 million for a 51% stake in the Company in exchange for newly issued shares of the Company's restricted common stock. Cardinal Resources has not yet entered into a contract for the offer and sale of shares and any transaction is conditioned upon and subject to the parties agreeing on definitive contracts to complete the prospective transaction and customary closing conditions.

The first tranche is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2015. Proceeds from the transaction will be designated toward general working capital, retiring the Company's existing debt, and establishing the new joint venture. Closing of the first tranche is subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions. The second tranche is slated to close in Q1 of 2016, subject to certain benchmarks being met including satisfactory establishment of the JV.

Commenting on the proposed transaction, Cardinal Resources CEO, Kevin Jones, said, "In addition to the positive impact for our shareholders and the opportunity to strengthen our balance sheet, we are very excited to enhance the Company's ability to access Export Credit Agency financing for large overseas contracts including those pending in Africa and Latin America as well as the potential for expansion into a number of major developing and mature markets."

"We are pleased to be in discussions with this group of Chinese investors and industrialist in furtherance of commercializing Cardinal's technology broadly in the Asian marketplace," Mr. Jones added. "Throughout 2015, Cardinal has gained a significant increase in the flow of business and sales opportunities through our evolving relationship with this diversified consortium."

The United Nations reports as of June, 2015, 381 million people in China lack access to piped, treated water, and the US Dept. of Commerce ITA estimated the total addressable market in China for this sector at $29 billion in 2010.
