15 November 2013 - 3:49AM
Marketwired Canada
Duncastle Gold Corp. ("Duncastle" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DUN)
(FRANKFURT:5D3) announced the acquisition of additional mineral claims between
its Drayton and Black Lake projects in northwest Ontario, completion of a final
agreement for the Black Lake project, and the issuance of shares per the Drayton
property agreement.
New Claims
Duncastle announced today the acquisition of additional claims to further
consolidate its Drayton and Black Lake projects located 10 kilometres south of
Sioux Lookout and 70 kilometres east of Dryden in Northwestern Ontario.
This strategic acquisition adds valuable targets and known mineralized zones
while also bringing the combined project to about 7,584 hectares (over 75 square
kilometers). The consolidated land position includes over 25km of largely
untested strike on the Sioux Lookout Deformation Zone in the rapidly developing
Wabigoon Greenstone belt which has added over 14 million ounces gold in the past
ten years including the Rainy River Resources deposit, among other significant
discoveries.
Under the terms of the agreement Duncastle can acquire 100% of the right and
title to six claims covering 1,024 hectares by completing cash payments of
$86,000 and issuing 1,000,000 million shares over 4 years. The vendors retain a
2% net smelter royalty with a buy-down to 1% for $1 million. The agreement, and
the issuance of shares per the agreement, are subject to acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange.
Final Black Lake Agreement
Duncastle also announced that it has completed a final agreement for the Black
Lake project as contemplated by the Letter of Understanding announced November
21, 2012. The final agreement incorporates amendments which reflect market
conditions including:
-- reducing the exploration work requirement due October 28, 2013 to
$50,000 from $150,000;
-- deferring the $25,000 cash payment due October 28, 2013 to February 28,
2014, and;
-- issuing 100,000 shares to each of Fortune Tiger Resources Ltd. and
Rubicon Minerals Corporation, as the optionor and sub-optionor of the
property respectively, in consideration for amending the agreement. The
issuance of such additional shares is subject to acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange.
Drayton Project
Duncastle will issue shares to Bravada Gold as required in the option agreement
and reports the project is in good standing. The Drayton project occupies the
southwest portion of the now consolidated Drayton-Black Lake project and
includes a number of mineralized zones as well as a possible dilational zone
identified in a geophysical survey completed in 2013 (see March 6, 2013 press
release).
