Grid Provides Corporate Update: Announces Property Acquisition
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Grid Metals Corp. (TSXV – GRDM; Frankfurt NJF; OTC: MSMGF) today announced that it has entered into a property option for the acquisition of a total of nine patented claims and mining leases in the Thunder Bay Mining Division approximately 200 km west of Thunder Bay. Under the terms of the Agreement the Company has made an initial cash payment of $43,750 and will issue 200,000 common shares subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company is required to make total cumulative annual cash payments of $330,000 over 5 years and has a property buyout option for $550,000 prior to seven years subject only to a 2% NSR. The target commodities on the property are cobalt, copper and nickel.
In a separate transaction the Company has also made a due diligence payment of US $75,000 and is negotiating for and evaluating additional mineral rights in the area controlled by another arm's length third party. At the current time the Company is not subject to a definitive binding agreement for any additional mineral rights. The Company will announce the terms of any additional acquisitions of mineral rights at the time a definitive agreement is reached. There is no certainty that further mineral rights will or will not be acquired as a result of the negotiations.
The Company’s core asset is its Makwa Mayville Nickel Copper Cobalt PGE Project near Lac du Bonnet, Manitoba. That project is the subject of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") completed in April 2014 outlining the production of nickel and copper concentrates from two open pits located approximately 35 kilometers apart. The Company is starting work to update the PEA commencing with metallurgical test work on core samples from the Mayville Cu-Ni Deposit. The Company has recently completed drilling on a lithium and tantalum bearing pegmatite near its Mayville Property. Results from an additional eight drill holes are pending.
