-
The project acquisition augments MRG’s existing gold project portfolio which includes the Xanadu and Braemore Gold Projects.
-
Tenements are also considered highly prospective for ultramafic - associated Ni - sulphide mineralisation similar to deposits within the same greenstone belt to the south. The Carnilya Hill and Blair nickel (both average in excess of 2.5%Ni and almost 2Mt of ore)
-
Low risk acquisition cost, consideration of $20k plus expenditure reimbursement, one million fully paid shares (to be escrowed) and a 1.5% net production royalty.
