13 Januar 2020 - 2:00PM
Angkor Resources Corp. (TSXV: ANK and OTC: ANKOF) (“Angkor”
or “the Company”) CEO Stephen Burega is pleased to report
that it has signed an Earn-In Agreement on its Oyadao License with
Canadian development company Hommy Oyadao Inc. (“Hommy”) to earn up
to a 70% interest in Angkor’s Oyadao North License in exchange for
payments totalling USD $4.6 million.
AGREEMENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Hommy 5 Resources Inc. will return
any earned interest in Angkor’s Banlung License in return for Hommy
Oyadao Inc. receiving an initial 10% earn-in interest in Oyadao
(see press release dated Sept. 19, 2018).
- With the end of the previous
agreement with Hommy 5 Resources Inc., the Banlung License returns
to being 100% owned by Angkor.
- Hommy may acquire an additional 20%
interest in Oyadao by making an upfront payment to Angkor of USD
$100,000 for past and future work associated with the property, and
by paying to Angkor as operator on or before May 30, 2020, an
additional USD $500,000 to be spent on exploration of Oyadao
North.
- Following that, Hommy will spend a
minimum of USD$ 100,000 a quarter on Oyadao.
- Once Hommy has either spent an
additional USD $4 million on Oyadao in exploration, development and
related statutory fees relating to the License, or has produced
more than 300 ounces of gold per month for six consecutive months
or an aggregate of 2,000 ounces of gold from the property,
whichever is the sooner, then Hommy will be granted a further 40%
Participating Interest, bringing its total interest in Oyadao North
to 70%.
- Should Hommy fail to meet any of
the above milestones, the property will revert to Angkor with no
interest earned by Hommy.
“We are very pleased to be working again with
Hommy,” said Mike Weeks, Executive Chairman of Angkor. “They were
excellent development partners on Banlung. The proximity of Oyadao
to the development at Mesco’s Phum Syarung mine site (see press
release dated June 25, 2018) is of great interest to us both and we
are excited to pursue this initiative together.”
Dr. Adrian G. Mann, director of, and technical
advisor to, Hommy Oyadao Inc., is optimistic about their immediate
exploration plans for Oyadao: “Mesco's Vertical Shaft is about 400
metres from our first drill target which is based on a strong EM
conductor that coincides with the line of strike of their main
vein. It's a modest but aggressive program on which we can
build.”
The Oyadao License is a 222 km2 area near the
Vietnam border, running north and east of Mesco’s Phum Syarung mine
site, the mineral rights of which were sold separately by Angkor to
Mesco in 2013 and licensed in 2016 for $1.8 million US in cash,
with Angkor retaining a sliding scale Net Smelter Return interest
ranging from 2.0% to 7.5% on any gold production, as well as 7.5%
of the value all other metals produced.
