Galane Gold Ltd. Announces That B2Gold Has Terminated the Earn-In Option Agreement Relating to Mupane Exploration Properties
13 October 2020 - 11:32PM
Galane Gold Ltd. (“Galane Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: GG;
OTCQB: GGGOF) announces that B2Gold Corp. has provided notice that
it is terminating the earn-in option agreement relating to certain
of Mupane’s exploration properties in Botswana.
Galane Gold CEO, Nick Brodie commented “B2Gold
have identified several targets from their exploration work, none
of which meet the size criteria for B2Gold, but all of which could
represent significant targets for Galane Gold. Once we have had
time to digest all the information that they have created, we will
prioritise each of the targets and we expect to put our own
exploration programme together to progress them.
In the context of a much higher gold price and
greatly improved position for Galane Gold since we originally
entered into this option agreement, we are very excited to pursue
these opportunities directly as we continue to develop Mupane’s
long term plans.”
