Jack Bal, CEO of Cache
Exploration Inc. States "We are extremely excited to commence due
diligence on the Lysogorskoye Gold Deposit. Cache
Exploration has been looking for production opportunities around
the world to add shareholder value. We feel Lysogorskoye
gives us the ability to become a producer in the near term"
All technical data on the Lysogorskoye Gold Deposit has
been supplied by the vendor and has not been independently verified
by a qualified person.
The Lysogorskoye Gold Deposit, located in the Kuragino
district of Krasnoyarsk, comprises a formerly operated underground
gold mine within a 5.34 km2 license area located 2.5 km
west of the Abakan-Taishet rail network, with access to the area
power transmission grid, good roads and a local population of
skilled people. The Vendor has held the license since August, 2017.
The project may present an opportunity for rapid recommissioning
for the production gold dore.
Discovered in 1960, formal evaluation of the Project resulted in
an initial historical estimate of 10 tonnes (321,507 oz) of gold in
1968 (Soviet era "C2" classification). Past work has reportedly
focused upon the exploration of a system of 26 NE-striking 'veins'
dipping 25 – 45o to the SE, and comprising of two types: quartz
rich veins and structurally controlled zones of 'cleavage crack'
hosted gold deposition: these zones intersect locally to form
broader 'shoots', but commonly the 'veins' range from 0.6 to
3.8m in width (averaging 0.85m). Past activity appears to have focused on
gravity gold recovery. Some of the veins reportedly extend down-dip
to 300m, and have been accessed
underground via three adits (numbered 52 (deepest) – 54
(shallowest), of 60m vertical
separation between them). Some 19,215
m of principal underground workings were driven between 1974
and 1995, developed around information from 27,541 m of surface drilling and 63,354 m of underground drilling. For the same
period some 7,087 kg (227,852 oz) of gold production at 8.2 g/t
(0.264 oz/t) was also recorded. Underground workings, which
comprise of conventional drill and blast and some tunnel boring
machine development, are reportedly dry and in good condition.
Since 2008 some additional exploration (by OJSC company "Minex
Resources") included 1,715.3 m of
drilling (12 holes) confirmed aspects of the historical work, and
suggests potential for stockwork mineralization in addition to the
vein hosted gold. Recoverable silver and possibly copper are also
indicated. A technical report "Miramine - Mineral Resource
Modeling and Estimation Report JORC-2011" by Miramine LLC was
published on the Lysogorskoye gold deposit in (2011, historical).
The estimation of resources is reported to consider 6,443 kg
(207,147 oz) Indicated Resource and 46,331 kg (1,489,574 oz)
Inferred at Lysogorskoye. A review and/or recalculation of the
historic resource is required by an independent Qualified Person to
confirm these as current resources as defined by NI 43-101. A
qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
historical estimate as current mineral resources and the issuer is
not treating the historical estimate as current mineral
resources.
Since 2016 some additional technical work by the Vendor has
confirmed a startup resource (category "C1") of 504 kg (16,204 oz
at 9 g/t) and a development plan for a small gold plant has been
prepared. The license includes an initial authorization for project
development to include ore processing through an on-site Gold
Recovery Plant, which contemplates cyanidation of flotation
concentrate. The Vendor also reports recoverable silver and copper
albeit at very low grades (Ag, approximately 2.46 g/t) and copper
(approximately 0.2%).
Cache is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a
non-brokered private placement of up to 10,000,000 units of the
Company at a price of $0.28 per
Common Share for aggregate proceeds of up to $2,800.000 (the "Private Placement") Each unit
will consist of one common share and one half common share purchase
warrant. Cache reserves the right to increase the size of the
private placement to 15,000,000 units. Each warrant will
entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share, up to a
total of 5 million warrant shares, at a warrant exercise price of
$0.35 cents exercisable for a period
of 24 months from the date of closing; provided that, if, at any
time prior to the expiry date of the warrants, the volume-weighted
average trading price of the common shares on the Toronto Venture
Exchange is greater than $0.50
for 10 consecutive trading days, the company may, within 10
business days of the occurrence of such event, deliver a notice to
the holders of warrants accelerating the expiry date of the
warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such
notice. Any unexercised warrants will automatically expire at the
end of the accelerated exercise period.
Closing of the private placement is subject to a number of
conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and
regulatory approvals, including the exchange. All securities issued
in connection with the private placement will be subject to a
statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities
legislation. The company intends to use the net proceeds of the
private placement to finance exploration on the Kiyuk Lake
property, for current liabilities and for general working capital
purposes.
Finders' fees of 7 per cent in cash and 7 per cent in finders'
warrants will be paid in connection with the completion of the
offering, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies.
The Company announces that it has granted to certain directors,
officers and consultants of the company Options to purchase up to
2,000,000 million common shares in the capital of the company
pursuant to the company's stock option plan. The options are
exercisable on or before February 2,
2023, at an exercise price of $0.31 per share. The grant of Options is
subject to regulatory approval.
