12 Exploration Provides Update on Geophysical Program completed on Deepwater Property
TORONTO, Sept. 04, 2019 - 12 Exploration Inc. (CSE:TWLV) (“12 Ex” or the “Company”) announces the completion of a ground geophysical program on the Deepwater Project situated in Afton and Scholes Townships, located approximately 65 km northeast of Sudbury, Ontario (the “Property”).
During the month of August, a geophysical program was completed. The program consisted of approximately 38 km of gps-integrated ground magnetics, and 40 gravity stations. The geophysical survey targeted several deep-seated magnetic anomalies that are located within a larger regional magnetic anomaly known as the Temagami Anomaly. The anomalies are speculated to be the extension of a sulphide-facies iron formation that hosts several gold occurrences and a past producing mine located immediately east of the Property.
Several drill targets have been generated from the program that would test the iron formation below the Huronian-Archean unconformity that is estimated to be at 300 m vertical depth from surface. An active exploration permit covers the relevant area.
The Company has been granted the option to earn up to an 80% interest in the Property (subject to a 2% net smelter return, back-in right and a right of first refusal with respect to a lease comprising, in part, the Property). In order to earn an initial 50% interest, the Corporation must incur aggregate exploration expenditures on the Property in the amount of $300,000 (the “Expenditure Requirement”) on or prior to September 30, 2019. The Company is considering whether to fulfill the balance of the Expenditure Requirement.
