Prosper Gold Exercises Option to Acquire 100% Interest in the Golden Sidewalk Property and the Skinner Property
November 22 2022 - 8:00AM
Prosper Gold Corp. (“
Prosper Gold” or the
“
Company”) (TSXV:PGX) is pleased to announce that
it has exercised its previously announced option under the Option
Agreement dated August 9, 2020 (the “
Option
Agreement”) between the Company and Sabina Gold &
Silver Corp. (“
Sabina”) to acquire a 100% interest
(the “
100% Interest”) in the Golden Sidewalk
property ( the “
Golden Sidewalk Property”) and the
Skinner property (together with the Golden Sidewalk Property, the
“
Properties”) consisting of approximately 3,000
hectares of mineral claims, leases and patents in the Red Lake
mining district of Ontario.
“The exercise of the Option approximately 2
years ahead of schedule represents a significant milestone for the
Company,” commented Peter Bernier, CEO. “This solidifies Prosper’s
ownership of 160 square kilometers of mining claims and leases in a
world-class mining jurisdiction.”
In order to acquire the 100% Interest in the
Properties, the Company has (i) issued an aggregate of 1,500,000
common shares from its treasury to Sabina; (ii) paid an aggregate
of $50,000 in cash to Sabina; and (iii) incurred expenditures on
the Properties of not less than $2,600,000. Concurrent with the
Company’s previously announced acquisition of a 70% interest in the
Properties on February 7, 2022, the Company and Sabina entered into
Royalty Agreements (the “Royalty Agreements”)
pursuant to which Prosper Gold will pay to Sabina (i) a 2.0% net
smelter returns royalty ("NSR") on the proceeds
from the production and sale of all ores, minerals, metals and
materials (“Products”) mined or removed from the
Golden Sidewalk Property and (ii) a 1.0% NSR on the proceeds from
the production and sale of Products mined or removed from certain
“Additional Property” (as defined in the Option Agreement).
About the Golden Sidewalk
The Golden Sidewalk is a district-scale gold
exploration project covering over 160 square kilometres of
contiguous mineral claims and mining leases in the western
Birch-Uchi Greenstone Belt, approximately 60 km east of Red Lake,
Ontario. The vehicle-accessible project straddles 12 kilometres of
the Balmer Assemblage – Narrow Lake Assemblage unconformity, a
regional-scale feature that has been the Red Lake exploration
guide, but which has seen limited exploration in the project area.
The “Golden Corridor” lies immediately north of the unconformity
and is characterized as a highly prospective trend of coincident
favourable magnetic and resistivity lineaments supported by highly
anomalous gold-in-till samples covering 7.0 by 0.5 kilometres. An
additional highly prospective target area was defined in 2021,
termed the Skinner North Target Area, where 2022 channel sampling
results include 9.69 gpt gold over 3.0 metres and 13.13 gpt gold
over 1.8 metres and till samples containing up to 1,014 gold
grains, was drilled for the first time in November of 2022.
Historical drilling by previous operators at the Bathurst Mine, Joe
Vein, KT vein, Dunkin and Vihonen prospects reported high-grade
gold intercepts which have yet to be followed up by Prosper
Gold.
