Sulliden Mining Capital Inc.
(“
Sulliden” or the “
Company”)
(TSX: SMC) is pleased to announce that it has indirectly acquired a
5.2% interest in a nickel, zinc, and lead mining exploration
project in Poland (the “
Project”) through the
purchase of 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Sustainable
Royalty Corp. (the “
Target”), a private company,
from Mr. Stan Bharti (the “
Vendor”), a former
chief executive officer and director of the Company (the
“
Acquisition”). The Project consists of the
Szklary and Dabrowka concessions, each as described in greater
detail below.
Pursuant to a share purchase agreement
respecting the Acquisition dated April 3, 2025, Sulliden acquired a
10% equity interest in the Target (or 1,000,000 of the Target’s
issued and outstanding common shares), with Mr. Bharti retaining a
63% interest. The Target owns 52% of Ferrite Resources Polska sp.
Z.o.o., a company incorporated in Poland, which owns 100% of the
Szklary and Dabrowka concessions. As consideration, Sulliden paid
an aggregate of C$100,000 to the Vendor and committed to spending
an additional 250,000 euros on the Project within six months of
closing. The Acquisition was an arm’s length transaction for
purposes of the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange
(“TSX”). No finder fees were paid in connection
with, and no change of control of Sulliden resulted from, the
Acquisition.
Szklary is a nickel laterite
deposit located approximately 50km south of Wroclaw, Poland. The
deposit forms N-S striking elongated ridge with the Ni-laterite
exposed in the first 20m below surface. Historical production is
recorded as 3.5 Mt @ 0.79% Ni = 28,000 tonnes. Approximately 2,500
holes were drilled in the past during the Soviet era, and a
technical report was previously prepared that is compliant with
National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral
Projects (“NI 43-101”) for the central part of the
property (Redstone Exploration Service, February 2022). However,
because of the absence of drillcore, the Company expects that an
extra 30 holes will be drilled to confirm the historical inferred
mineral resource described in the report. Mining would skim the
laterite, and ongoing exploration is expected by the Company to
investigate the as yet unexplored sulphite deposit at depth.
Szklary has a JORC-compliant historical inferred mineral resource
of 32.9 Mt @ 0.70% Ni (Northern Mining Ltd., filed with the ASX in
July 2008).
Dabrowka is located 25km north
of the city of Katowice, Poland. The property has an existing mined
out shaft, but requires a small decline shaft to a maximum of 80m
depth. As a result, the Company anticipates that little primary
development is necessary. The in-situ historical non-compliant
inferred mineral resource (M. O’Brien, Feb 2024) resource has been
estimated as an in-situ JORC-compliant resource as follows:
Zinc - 22.4 Mt @ 2.8% = 634,940 tonnes
Lead - 22.4 Mt @ 0.7% = 154,000 tonnes
The Company expects that an additional 27 holes
will be drilled to compliment the historical exploration.
Note: a qualified person (as
such term is defined in NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to
classify the historical estimates described above as current
mineral resources or mineral reserves and the Company is not
treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or
mineral reserves.
Upside Benefits of the Project:
- two smelters are
situated <20km away from the Project, which are accessible via
rail
- room &
pillar mining methods, using decline, are utilized at the Project -
magnetic separation of ore is proven technology currently used in
several mines
- there is a
potential second Zn Pb deposit at between 80 to 100m apart from
primary at 4 to 50m depth
