-on or before the second anniversary of the closing date, pay C$200,000 in cash and complete a minimum of $1-million in exploration expenditures.
Once the option is fully-exercised, Durango will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty in respect of the Trove Property. Bonterra may purchase 50% of this royalty at any time for a cash payment of $1-million.
Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, comments, "We are so delighted to have entered into this transaction with Bonterra that has resulted in Durango obtaining a cash injection of over $750,000 without shareholder dilution. The transaction positions Durango and its shareholders to participate further in Bonterra's share price appreciation as it continues to hold free-trading shares. An additional 1.5 million Bonterra shares may be issued to Durango if certain conditions are met, pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement. We look forward to an exciting new year ahead in 2018."
