Universal Uranium to Acquire Nevada Gold Property
07 Juli 2009 - 3:00PM
Marketwired
Universal Uranium Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: UUL) ("Universal Uranium")
announces that it has entered into an agreement with Nevada Mine
Properties II, Inc. ("NMP"), a private Nevada corporation, to
acquire a 100% interest in NMP's Tact - Buff property (the
"Property") located in the prolific Battle Mountain Mining
District, Nevada. The Property is comprised of 98 claims totalling
1760 acres and is situated in Humboldt County approximately 30
miles southeast of Winnemucca.
Property Details
The Property is located in Buffalo Valley approximately 5 miles
southwest of Newmont Mining's Lone Tree gold mine Complex (2
million ounces mined) and 3 miles northwest of Newmont's Converse
deposit (4.5 million ounce resource). Other nearby gold mines in
operation include the Marigold Complex (over 4.25 million ounces)
operated as a joint venture between Barrick Gold Corp. and Goldcorp
Inc. (see map at www.universaluranium.com).
The project area contains host rocks identical to the above
mentioned mines and previous work has outlined gold in outcrop,
within soil grids, limited drilling programs.
Gold mineralization identified within the property boundary
occurs in strongly stockworked-brecciated limonite shears and
quartz veining in structurally prepared areas within the Havallah
sediments and within a quartz monzonite intrusive. A soil sampling
program spaced on 30 by 130 meters covers an area over one square
mile. The soil grid contains large areas of +0.1 g/t gold. Numerous
+1 g/t gold values up to 4.6 g/t have been identified. A shallow
drilling program (less than 30 meters) tested various, easily
accessible portions of the soil grid with results to 0.014 oz/ton
Au over 15 meters. None of this work has been followed up leaving
most +0.1 g/t gold anomalies untested.
"While Universal remains committed to prospecting Uranium
properties, the identification of this gold opportunity proved to
be too tempting to let pass. The property's data has been reviewed
by two top geologists and both have given us favourable reports,"
says Ron Atlas, President of Universal. "We have retained Bernard
Stannus, a mining engineer who has considerable gold experience and
who also helped bring Inca Pacific's Magistral Copper Project in
Peru to its bankable feasibility and permitting stage. Bernard has
agreed to consult for Universal."
In consideration, Universal Uranium has agreed to pay US$7,500
upon execution of the agreement and a total of US$302,500 in
Advanced Royalty Payments in the first 8 years with automatic
extensions over the next 12 years. Universal Uranium reserves the
right to purchase 100% ownership of the Property at anytime by
paying US$2 million less any Advance Royalty Payments.
Other considerations include issuing a total of 500,000
Universal shares to NMP over a two year period and the option to
buydown a 3% NSR to 1% for US$3 million.
Universal has sufficient cash to proceed with drilling and plans
to apply for drill permits and mobilize drill crews as soon as
possible to proceed with an initial drilling program of up to 12
holes.
