BWR Exploration Inc. Completes Acquisition of Little Stull Lake Gold Property in NE Manitoba. Provides Project Update
May 19 2021 - 3:10PM
BWR Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: BWR) (“
BWR” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce it has now
acquired the full 100% interest of the Little Stull Lake Property.
The original Sale Agreement was first entered into with Puma
Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: PUMA) (“
Puma”) on October
5, 2016, involving cash payments and the issuance of up to 10
million common shares of BWR. The original Sale Agreement was
amended October 7, 2019, and further amended May 4, 2021
(collectively “the
Agreement”). The main terms of
the original Sale Agreement were disclosed in a news release dated
October 7, 2016.
Pursuant to the Agreement BWR made the following
payments to Puma:
- Aggregate cash payments of
$150,000; and
- Aggregate share issuances of
6,000,000 common shares of the Company, with an additional
2,000,000 common shares to be issued.
On October 7, 2019, BWR and Puma agreed to amend
the exploration expenditure requirement under the original Sale
Agreement by reducing the milestone / penalty payments from
5,000,000 to 4,000,000 common shares of BWR and extending the
expenditure term from October 5, 2019 to October 5, 2020.
Due to various factors including changes to work
permit issuance policies by the Crown in their ongoing and evolving
consultation protocol process with Indigenous Communities, and
exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, BWR did not meet the
$1,500,000 spend requirement by October 5, 2020. Consequently, the
remaining 4,000,000 common shares became payable to Puma as of
October 5, 2020. Puma agreed to defer this payment until early 2021
and then reached a further agreement with BWR dated May 4, 2021
whereby BWR would issue 2,000,000 common shares to Puma in full and
final payment of all remaining consideration payable under the
Agreement. Puma retains a 1% net smelter royalty on the Little
Stull Lake Property. Tanqueray Exploration Ltd. (or its assignee)
also retains a 1% net smelter royalty on the Property, half of
which is purchasable at any time for $1 million and the second half
is purchasable for $2 million.
Project Update
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected
Indigenous Communities in Northern Manitoba, as well as across
Canada. Periodic community lockdowns and travel bans have
negatively impacted the ability of the Crown to complete the
consultation process in advance of the issuance of the required
work permits authorizing BWR to conduct exploration. BWR, is
hopeful that restrictions regarding travel, community meetings and
exploration work in the Province of Manitoba will be relaxed once
vaccine recipient numbers reach acceptable levels, allowing
community consultation protocol process to continue.
BWR Exploration Inc. is a public company focused
on exploring for base and precious metals, with its flagship Little
Stull Lake Gold Project in NE Manitoba along with other exploration
projects in Northern Ontario, and Northern Quebec, Canada.

Prior to this closing payment to Puma there

closing payment there are 101,442,461 shares
issued.
