VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Sono Resources Inc. (OTCQB-SRCI; the “Company” or “Sono”) announces that it has reached an agreement in principle to acquire the remaining 5% of the shares of Bonnyridge Pty to hold 100% of the shares. On April 1, 2011, Sono announced that it had entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 95% of the shares of Bonnyridge Pty (“the Bonnyridge Project”) in Botswana, Africa from Tignish Pty, the owner of 95% of the shares of Bonnyridge Pty, which closed on July 25th, 2011.

Under the original purchase agreement, Sono acquired 95% of three exploration license blocks by paying to Tignish Pty $900,000 in cash over a three year period and issuing 6.5 million shares. Sono has paid its first year cash obligation of $300,000 and has issued the 6.5 million shares from treasury.

Sono has now entered into an agreement in principle whereby it will acquire the remaining 5% interest in the license blocks. This creates a clear path for Sono to own 100% interest in the project.

The Sono licenses encompass three blocks located in the center of the Kalahari Copper Belt and are widely characterized as the southwesterly extension of the Zambian/DRC Copper Belt extending through Botswana and into Namibia. The belt is home to many producing copper mines and many more recent and successful exploration activities.
