Gunpoint Provides Exploration Update on Nevada Talapoosa Project Announces Stock Option Repricing
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/26/12 -- Gunpoint Exploration Ltd. ("Gunpoint" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GUN) announces that the Company has contracted TetraTech to undertake an updated NI43-101 resource estimate on the Talapoosa Gold-Silver Project in Nevada, to supersede the 2010 43-101 resource estimate which was based solely on historic drilling. The updated resource estimate, which is to be based on the results of the 2011 drill campaign and a recently completed in-house reinterpretation of the controls on mineralization, should be finalized in the first quarter of 2013. Upon completion of the 43-101, Gunpoint will initiate a Preliminary Economic Assessment to study the viability of developing an oxide heap-leach and CIL operation on the Talapoosa resource.
As a continued effort to provide key executives with compensation incentives, the Company wishes to reprice to $0.60 all of its outstanding stock options (1,655,000 stock options) that were previously granted at prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.65 subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and the disinterested shareholders of the Company for those stock options held by insiders of the Company or their associates. Gunpoint's annual general meeting is scheduled to be held on December 27, 2012.
