VANCOUVER, BC, June 13,
2024 /CNW/ - Rokmaster Resources Corp. (TSXV:
RKR) (OTCQB: RKMSF) (FSE: 1RR1) ("Rokmaster" or "RKR") and Kootenay
Resources Inc. (TSXV: KTRI) ("Kootenay Resources" or "KTR") are
pleased to announce that further to their joint news release dated
May 15, 2024, Rokmaster and Kootenay
Resources have entered into a definitive option agreement (the
"Option Agreement") with respect to the road accessible Fox-Coconut
and Mystery Properties, which are both located south of Highway 16
between Prince George and
Smithers in west-central British
Columbia (collectively, the "Properties") (Figure 1).
Terms of the Option
Agreement:
For RKR to be granted the option to acquire a 60% interest in
the Properties, RKR must:
- Incur $142,000 of exploration
work on the Properties prior to September
18, 2024;
- Commencing on the first anniversary date of the Option
Agreement, issuing to KTR 500,000 common shares of RKR each year on
or before each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary
dates of the Option Agreement; and
- On or prior to the fourth anniversary date of the Option
Agreement, RKR having completed a total of 10,000 metres of diamond
drilling on any or all of the Properties.
Once Rokmaster has acquired the initial 60% interest, (the
"Initial Interest"), KTR would grant RKR an exclusive option (the
"Second Option") to acquire the remaining 40% interest in the
Properties (the "Second Interest") by issuing an additional
5,000,000 common shares of RKR to KTR within 60 days of having
acquired the Initial Interest.
Upon RKR acquiring the Second Interest, RKR would grant KTR a
1.5% net smelter returns royalty (the "Royalty") in respect of the
Mystery and Coconut group of mining claims. The Fox group of
mineral claims have an existing underlying 2% net smelter returns
royalty (the "Underlying Royalty"), and KTR has the right to
buy back the entirety of such Underlying Royalty at any time at a
price of $500,000 per 0.5% (the "Buy
Back Right"). Should KTR buy back the entirety of such
Underlying Royalty within 90 days after the date of the
commencement of commercial production on the Fox group of claims,
then RKR would also grant KTR the Royalty on such claims. If KTR
does not so exercise the Buy Back Right, then KTR would transfer it
to RKR.
Closing of the transaction is subject to receipt of all
requisite regulatory approvals.
