The Company now has shareholder permission to
close the second tranche of a private placement with Augusta
Investments Inc. of $1.6 million to bring Augusta’s total
investment to $4.6 of the private placement (see NR September 14,
2020). Augusta Investments Inc. is a Canada-US based mining
sector-focused management group led by its founder and Chairman,
Richard Warke.
The shareholders also approved the earn-in
option agreement with Titan Mining Corporation whereby Titan can
earn an 80% joint venture interest on the Company’s 100% owned
Mineral Ridge gold project located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. To
maintain the option Titan must spend a total of US$35 million over
a staged period of five years. If Titan spends the initial US$7
million of expenditures by January 1, 2022, it will also have the
right to acquire a 100% interest by paying Scorpio Gold US$35
million on or before December 31, 2022 (see NR August 31,
2020).
The earn-in agreement with Titan Mining will
deliver an aggressive exploration program to build on the
substantial mineral reserve and resource base at Mineral Ridge. The
Company’s gold extraction operations at Mineral Ridge will continue
through to December 31, 2021, ensuring Scorpio Gold’s operating
team stays intact and can assist Titan where needed.
The proceeds of the private placement will fund
an extensive exploration program at the Company’s 100% owned
Goldwedge property in Nevada. Scorpio Gold is in the process of
finalizing the acquisition of the adjacent Kinross Manhattan
property. An underground delineation drilling program is in
progress at the Goldwedge Mine and planning for surface drilling on
high-priority targets over the entire land package is underway.
“Scorpio Gold will see the most activity on both
of its projects in its history at a time when the gold price is
reaching previously seen historic highs. It is expected that the
Company will generate a steady news flow ahead” said Brian Lock,
CEO.
