Marketwired Canada
McLaren Resources Inc. ("McLaren" or the "Company") (CNSX:MCL)(FRANKFURT:3ML) is
pleased to announce it has signed a binding Letter of Intent with Timginn
Exploration Limited to earn a 60 percent interest in a past producing gold
property located in the heart of the Timmins Gold Camp and adjacent to
Goldcorp's Hollinger and McIntyre mines which have combined production of over
30 million ounces of gold to date. The property contains the favorable gold
mineralized horizon which was a source of production at both the Hollinger and
McIntyre mines. Exploration drilling will initially focus on targets between
surface and 300 metres deep on the favorable gold mineralized horizon that
trends along portions of the property. Drilling is planned to commence in 30
days.
Key Terms of Property Option Agreement
McLaren can earn a 50 percent interest in the property by incurring $2 million
dollars of exploration expenditure by April 30, 2015 and then McLaren can earn
an additional 10 percent interest by incurring an additional $2 million in
exploration expenditure by April 30, 2016 to earn a total 60 percent interest
for $4 million in total expenditure. See additional details of the terms in this
news release.
Exploration Plan
Company management has identified two initial areas for exploration drilling on
the favorable gold mineralized 95/63 flow contact horizon.
1. Historic records indicate good gold mineralization on the property close
to where Hollinger Mine workings are situated up to and adjacent to the
property boundary near the historic mine shaft situated mid way along
the 2,000 meter length of the property.
2. Historic records indicate near surface gold mineralization on the north
eastern part of the property where the 95/63 horizon is situated before
trending onto McIntyre Mine property where the horizon is reported to
have generated significant gold production.
"The newly optioned property located next to two of the most productive gold
mines in Canada is an exciting development for the Company" stated Ivan
Buzbuzian, President and CEO of McLaren Resources Inc.
Option Letter of Intent Terms
-- Spend $200,000 on exploration during the due diligence period with
drilling to commence by December 2011, with results supporting a
decision to move to the next option period by April 30, 2012. The
parties will then enter into a definitive option agreement on standard
industry terms acceptable to Timginn Exploration Limited. A proposed
draft of the definitive option agreement was attached to the signed
Letter of Intent.
-- Spend a further $500,000 on exploration by April 30, 2013.
-- Spend an additional $600,000 on exploration by April 30, 2014
-- Spend an additional $700,000 on exploration by April 30, 2015 for an
aggregate total of $2,000,000 to earn a 50% interest in the property.
-- McLaren can earn as a second option an additional 10 percent interest by
spending a further $2 million in exploration expenditure by April 30,
2016.
-- Upon exercising the second option and earning a 60 percent interest in
the property, McLaren would propose to acquire the remaining 40 percent
of the property by issuing shares of McLaren Resources Inc. to the
shareholders of Timginn Exploration Limited. The number of shares to be
issued to acquire the remaining 40 percent interest in the property
shall be determined based on a third party valuation.
-- Should McLaren earn a 50 percent interest and not pursue the second
option to earn a 60 percent interest, then it is proposed that the
property interest which is to be held in a wholly owned subsidiary would
be spun out to shareholders of McLaren Resources and Timginn
Exploration.
