VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abacus Mining & Exploration Corporation ("Abacus" or "The Company") (TSXV:AME) is pleased to announce that it has signed an Agreement with Almadex Minerals Ltd. and its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary Almadex America Inc. ("Almadex"), to acquire a 100% ownership interest in the Willow porphyry copper property located in Yerington, Nevada, ("Willow Property") and data associated with the Willow Property (the "Willow Data").

加拿大卑詩省溫哥華,2024年6月6日(全球新聞)——實礦資源勘探公司(“Abacus”或“公司”)(tsxv:AME)很高興地宣佈,已與Almadex Minerals Ltd及其全資子公司Almadex America Inc.(“Almadex”)簽訂協議,收購位於內華達州Yerington的Willow斑岩銅礦物業(“Willow Property”)及與其相關的數據(“Willow Data”),獲得該物業的100%所有權。

Under the terms of the Agreement, which is subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") approval, Abacus will issue common shares of Abacus ("Shares") to Almadex, as to:

根據協議的條款,該協議需要獲得TSX Venture Exchange(“TSX-V”)的批准,Abacus將向Almadex發行公司普通股(“股份”),數量爲:

  • 7,500,000 shares in the capital of the Company ("Shares") (the "Initial Shares") on closing of the transaction, expected to be on or about June 30, 2024 (the "Closing Date"); and,
  • on July 31, 2025 (the "Top-Up Date"), such number of Shares owned by Almadex immediately following the completion of the transaction on the Closing Date, then divided by the number of Shares outstanding on the Top-Up Date, equals 0.08, rounded down to the nearest whole Share (the "Top-Up Shares").
  • 交易完成時,公司發行7,500,000股Abacus的股份(“首期股份”),預計交易完成日期爲2024年6月30日(“結束日期”);並且
  • 截至2025年7月31日(“輸補日期”),以Almadex在交易結束後立即持有的股份數除以輸補日期的流通股數的比率爲0.08(向下取整),發行“輸補股份”(“輸補股份”) 。

Title to the claims comprising the Willow Property will be transferred to Abacus on issuance of the Initial Shares, and Abacus will, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and in any event no later than December 31, 2025, complete the drilling of a minimum 600 metre exploratory hole on the Willow Property within an area agreed upon with Almadex.

一旦公司發行首期股份,該成分的權屬權將轉移到Abacus,並且Abacus將盡快在結束日期之後完成對Willow Property的最低600米勘探孔的鑽探,該鑽探孔在與Almadex商定的區域內完成。

The Willow Property is subject to a 2% NSR from future production of minerals from the Willow Property.

Willow Property受未來從Willow Property採礦的礦物產品2% NSR的影響。

"An option agreement on Willow was signed in early 2017 between Abacus and Almadex, allowing Abacus to earn an aggregate 75% interest in Willow by meeting certain spending thresholds and by issuing shares," commented Paul G. Anderson, President and CEO of Abacus. "This Agreement removes the spending commitments, and it consolidates ownership of a very prospective porphyry copper property which remains poorly drill tested."

"Abacus和Almadex之間於2017年初簽署了有關Willow的期權協議,允許Abacus通過滿足一定的開支門檻和發行股份,獲得對Willow的75%總體利益。 ''Abacus的總裁兼首席執行官Paul G. Anderson評論說:“此協議消除了開支承諾,並鞏固了一個非常有前途的斑岩銅礦物業的所有權,該礦物產區的開採深度尚未得到足夠的鑽孔測試。在Willow上完成了從2017年開始的地質,地球化學和物理勘探工作,確定了一個廣泛的強烈硅質和高階矽鋁(AA)變質帶,其標誌性的地質,地球化學和物理特徵是一種斑岩銅-鉬礦牀的典型特徵。

Abacus completed geological, geochemical and geophysical work on Willow beginning in 2017, identifying an extensive zone of intense silicic and advanced argillic alteration, marked by coincident geological, geochemical and geophysical signatures typical of a porphyry Cu-Mo deposit.

2018年,該公司在Willow進行了兩個金剛石鑽探孔,這兩個鑽孔均穿過了Luhr Hill花崗岩,這是Yerington營地中已知的四個斑岩銅-鉬(Cu-Mo)礦牀的母巖。這些孔的銅含量在0.1至0.2%的區間內,並具有升高的Mo含量。

The Company drilled two diamond drill holes in 2018, which intersected the Luhr Hill granite, which is the host rock of the four known porphyry copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) deposits in the Yerington camp. The holes hit short intervals of copper in the 0.1 to 0.2% range with elevated Mo.

2021年,通過三個附近孔口鑽孔,公司交織了更廣泛的Luhr Hill花崗岩和低品位銅和鉬礦化組合。結果表明,離斑岩銅中心很近,並且明確表明進一步的鑽探是有保證的。

In 2021, three additional core holes intersected broader intervals of the Luhr Hill granite with significant composited intervals of low-grade copper and molybdenum mineralization. The results indicate close proximity to a porphyry copper center and clearly indicate that further drilling is warranted.

依照Yerington營地上的Luhr Hill花崗岩斑岩銅礦牀礦區,銅和鉬礦牀區位於Luhr Hill花崗岩斑岩礦巖和周圍火山岩的接觸帶上,或者接近花崗岩而與更遠離火山岩的斑岩岩脈有關。由於在該營地中沒有不伴隨着斑岩的此花崗岩的已知實例,因此Luhr Hill花崗岩在Willow上的發現標誌着一次重大的新發現。這意味着有很高的可能性在Willow上發現Cu-Mo礦牀。重要的該公司的目標與Yerington礦牀的兩個最大的斑岩礦牀,即過去生產的Yerington礦和未開發的Ann Mason礦牀,本質上是相同的。由於Willow的目標被後期火山活動覆蓋,因此鑽探和樣品採集化學是試圖定位斑岩中心的唯一有效手段,這通常需要進行數個鑽探活動,每次成功的活動都可以將矢量更靠近斑岩中心。

Cu-Mo porphyry deposits at Yerington occur at the contact of the Luhr Hill granite porphyry and surrounding volcanic rocks, or else close to the granite but associated with porphyry dyke swarms further into the volcanic package. As there are no known instances of this granite in the camp without an associated porphyry, the discovery of Luhr Hill granite on Willow marks a key new discovery, which means that there is a very high likelihood of a Cu-Mo deposit being found on Willow.

在營地中已知的洛爾山花崗岩斑岩礦牀中,Ann Mason礦牀位於Willow的相鄰和東部,由HudBay Minerals持有。2021年,Hudbay宣佈了關於Ann Mason的更新的PEA,其修正後的M&I資源爲2.2億噸,銅含量爲0.34%。*

The Company's target is essentially identical to the two largest porphyry deposits in the Yerington camp, namely the past-producing Yerington mine and the undeveloped Ann Mason deposit. Because the target at Willow is covered by later volcanism, prospecting by drill and sampling for geochemistry is the only effective means of trying to locate a porphyry center, and this often takes several drill campaigns to achieve, with each successive campaign vectoring closer to a porphyry center.

Lion Copper and Gold控制着毗鄰Ann Mason的Yerington,Bear和MacArthur斑岩礦牀。Anaconda在1952年至1978年間開採了Yerington斑岩礦牀,生產了16億磅的銅。MacArthur(Cu含量0.212%的159MT)有一些過去的產量,並且目前正在進行可行性研究。2022年3月,Lion宣佈Rio Tinto已經在公司的Yerington資產上擁有了選擇權,並在今年3月宣佈了新的PEA結果。*

Of the known porphyries in the camp, the Ann Mason deposit lies adjacent and east of Willow and is held by HudBay Minerals. In 2021, Hudbay announced an updated PEA on Ann Mason with a revised M&I resource of 2.2 billion tonnes at 0.34% Cu. *

此外,公司還租賃了緊鄰Willow的Nev-Lorraine申領權,使其有權在10年內探索並從中選擇購買這些申領權的權利。

Lion Copper and Gold control the Yerington, Bear and MacArthur porphyries adjacent and to the east of Ann Mason. Anaconda mined the Yerington porphyry between 1952 until 1978, producing 1.6 billion pounds of copper. MacArthur ((M&I of 159MT at 0.212% Cu) has seen some past production and is currently undergoing a Prefeasibility Study. In March of 2022, Lion announced that Rio Tinto had taken an option on the company's Yerington assets, and it announced the results of a new PEA in March of this year. *

Abacus還持有位於不列顛哥倫比亞省Kamloops附近的Ajax銅-金斑岩項目的20%所有權,該項目由基本金屬主要公司KGHM Polska Miedź SA管理,後者持有其餘80%。Ajax項目包含大量的銅和金,在NI 43-101已證明和可信礦產儲量中,含有426 Mt,銅含量爲0.29%,Au含量爲0.19 g / t和Ag含量爲0.39 g / t。包含的金屬約爲2.7億磅的銅,2.6 Moz Au和5.3 Moz Ag **。

The Company in addition has a lease on the Nev-Lorraine claims contiguous to Willow, giving it the right to explore and to elect to purchase these claims outright over a ten-year period.

公司還在Willow控制Nev-Lorraine申領權的租賃合同上,使其有權在10年內探索並選擇購買這些申領權的權利。

Abacus also holds a 20% ownership interest in the Ajax copper-gold porphyry project, located near Kamloops, British Columbia., which is managed by base metal major KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., who hold the remaining 80%. The Ajax Project contains significant quantities of copper and gold, within a NI 43-101 Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of 426 Mt at 0.29% Cu, 0.19 g/t Au and 0.39 g/t Ag. Contained metal is in the order of 2.7 Bil lbs Cu, 2.6 Moz Au and 5.3 Moz Ag**.

About Abacus
Abacus is a mineral exploration and mine development company currently focused on copper and gold in B.C. and Nevada. The Company's main asset is a 20% ownership interest, together with KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (80%), in the proposed copper-gold Ajax Mine located southwest of Kamloops, B.C., which has undergone a joint provincial and federal environmental assessment process. On December 14, 2017, a decision was made by the B.C. Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to decline to issue an environmental assessment certificate for the Project. KGHM have recently reopened an office in Kamloops, B.C. to facilitate First Nation, community and governmental engagement in order to advance the project towards a potential resubmission of the environmental application.
