The Hickman Project is comprised of two claims totalling 3,008 hectares and is located immediately west and contiguous with Kingfisher's HWY 37 Project in Northwest British Columbia within the Golden Triangle.
The Hickman Project is highly prospective for Cu-Au porphyry systems and hosts an undrilled copper-gold geochemical anomaly at the Hickman Target that includes recent (2019) rock sampling results of up to 5.3% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au. This accretive acquisition secures the full extent of the open-ended Hickman Target that spans 5 km and is located 6 km away from the Schaft Creek deposit. The Transaction will bring the consolidated HWY 37 Project to 849 km2.
Transaction Details
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will issue common shares to Golden Ridge with an aggregate value of C$50,000 priced at C$0.195 per share, and the Company will grant a 2% net smelter return royalty (the "NSR") to Golden Ridge. The Company will have the right to buy back 1% of the NSR for C$5,000,000 at any time. The NSR covers the entirety of the Hickman Project except for the portion of the mineral claims that fall within a 1 km radius of the HWY 37 Project. The excluded portion of the mineral claims are covered under the net smelter return royalty agreement that pertains to the Company's Ball Creek West (BAM) project. The Transaction remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
