Nine Mile Mineral Property Option
The Company will acquire the Nine Mile Option in the Transaction. This will entitle the Company to obtain the remaining 50% ownership in Nine Mile from FMC.
To exercise the Option, the Company must pay to FMC an aggregate of $3,000,000 prior to the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and incur an aggregate of $1,000,000 of Expenditures on the Property over three years, with at least $500,000 of the Expenditures being in the first twelve months of the Option and a minimum of $150,000 per year spent on Expenditures after the first twelve months of the Option.
The first payment toward the $3,000,000 will be $25,000 on the Effective Date. Subsequently, $50,000 will be payable on each anniversary of the effective date of the Nine Mile Option.
Despite the schedule noted above, the Company can exercise the Option at any time during the four year term by paying FMC $3,000,000, less the payments already made as long as the Company is not in breach of the Option at that time.
The Transaction does not represent a change of business. There will be one new director and no change of officers of the Company required by the Transaction. The Transaction is at arm's length.
The agreement of purchase and sale sets out the terms and conditions and other details for the completion of the Transaction. A copy of the agreement of purchase and sale, including the Option Agreement, is filed along with the Company's public disclosure on www.sedar.com.
