ASAMERA <ASM> TO FORM NEW MINING UNIT Asamera Inc said it will transfer all its mineral interests into a new wholly owned subsidiary, Asamera Minerals Inc, which will later issue up to 15 pct of its shares to the public. The mineral interests will include Asamera's 51 pct interest in the Cannon gold mine in Wenatchee, Wash. Asamera said the mine produced 116,514 ounces of gold in 1986 and is expected to produce 130,000 to 140,000 ounces this year. Asamera said its talks with Breakwater Resources Ltd <BWRLF> on a possible merger of mining interests, including the Cannon mine, have been terminated. It did not elaborate. Asamera said holding all its mineral properties in a separate company will give better and more direct recognition to the value of the assets. Its other mining interests include gold exploration prospects on 13,000 acres in Inyo County, Calif., and 500,000 acres in Canada's Northwest Territories, the Gooseberry gold and silver mine in Nevada, chromite properties in northern California and Newfoundland, and a platinum prospect in the Rankin Inlet, Northwest Territories.
