Saville Resources Inc. Announces Property Acquisition, Private Placement, and Corporate Updates

Property Option Agreement

The Company is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, pending exchange approval, with Zimtu Capital Corp. (“Zimtu”) to acquire a 100% interest in and to the Covette Property, located in the James Bay Region of Quebec.

The Covette Property is located approximately 190 km east of Raddison and 10 km north of the all-weather Trans-Taiga road and adjacent LG-3 transmission line. The claim area consists of 65 contiguous claims, encompassing an area of approximately 3,370 ha (~34 km²).  A property map can be found at: http://savilleres.com/Covette-Property-Map-1.pdf

In late 2016, a 1402 line-km Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey was completed over the Covette Property by Geotech Ltd., of Aurora, Ontario. It identified several high priority electromagnetic (EM) conductors coincident with strong and distinct magnetic high anomalies, as well a broad and large coincident EM and magnetic high anomaly. These areas are considered prospective for base and precious metal targets. 

Geologically, a greenstone belt underlies the region, comprised of various mafic to ultramafic rock units considered prospective for base and precious metals (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Au-Ag), as well as pegmatite hosted rare metals (Li-Ta). Komatiites have also been described in the region with such rock types known to host significant Ni-Cu massive sulphide deposits at other localities globally, adding further to the prospective nature of the region.  

Historically, the Property area has been subject to only limited exploration, which focused primarily on prospecting and sampling. Outcrop exposure in the area is limited. Historic sampling results include the pegmatite/amphibolite Clothilde Showing where 4.7% Mo, 0.73% Bi, 0.09% Pb, and 6.0 g/t Ag, as well as 1.2 g/t Ag and 0.18% Cu were returned from two grab samples, respectively.

A ground prospecting program was completed in Q3-2017 and the Company is awaiting results from the targets identified from the 2016 VTEM survey. In addition, all pegmatite occurrences were sampled, as these rocks types may be favourable hosts to rare metal mineralization, such as lithium.   

Terms of the Agreement

In exchange for 100% of the right, title, and interest in and to the Covette Property, consisting of 65 mineral claims, Saville shall pay the vendor $350,000 in cash.

Settlement of Debt

Saville entered into a settlement agreement in June 2017 (the "Settlement Agreement") with a creditor of the Company whereby Saville would issue units of the company at a deemed price of $0.06 per unit in full and final settlement of the amounts owing to such creditor.   Each unit consists of one common share in the share capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share upon payment of the exercise price of $0.06 for a period of two years.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement, $219,000 in debts would be settled and a total of 3,650,000 units would be issued to the creditor, which would represent 18.7% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Saville following the completion of the Settlement Agreement. The common shares and share purchase warrants received as part of the Settlement Agreement will be subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period.
