Currie Rose Resources Inc. Announces Purchase of Golden 8 Claim adjoining the recently Optioned Rossland Gold Project
Toronto, June 13, 2018 - Currie Rose Resources Inc. (TSXV: CUI) ("Currie Rose" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Agreement") to acquire a 100% interest in the "Golden 8 Claim" which adjoins the south western boundary of the recently optioned Rossland Project (the "Project"). The Golden 8 Claim covers 296.5ha of the highly prospective Rossland "South Belt" and increases the coverage of Company's Rossland Project (part of the Rossland Mining Camp) to approximately 2,230 ha. The Rossland Mining Camp produced more than 2.7 million ounces of gold, 3.5 million ounces of silver and 71 tonnes of copper between 1894 and 1941 and ranks as the third largest lode gold camp in British Columbia.
Under the terms of the Agreement, Currie Rose has the right to acquire 100% of the Golden 8 Claim from a private vendor via a 2 stage cash payment schedule:
- $16,000 on execution of the Agreement;
- $16,000 within 3 months of execution.
Vendor to retain a 2% NSR and Currie has a Right of Repurchase one half of the NSR (1%) by paying the vendor $1m.
Michael Griffiths, Currie's President and CEO, commented; "The Golden 8 Claim covers the most southern and eastern part of the Rossland Mining Camp and is underexplored. Our review of historic drilling and geophysical data covered by the Claim, has identified augite porphyry volcanic and volcanogenic sediments which are the host rocks of the Rossland production series of gold bearing hornblende porphyry and sulphide mineralisation.
This is a very important addition to our package as so little modern exploration has been done in this area and yet, we are within 5km of a former major gold production area."
