-
For a detailed listing of the Alaska Range Project mineral claims which were staked and subsequently granted during the December 2017 quarter, refer to the List of Mining Claims set out in the Quarterly Activities Report dated 31 January 2018.
-
Subject to a mineral lease and purchase agreement with Great American Minerals Exploration Inc. (GAME), pursuant to which GAME will lease the Uncle Sam Gold Project for up to 10 years with an option to purchase outright at any time during the lease period on the terms and conditions detailed in the ASX announcement of 30 July 2015 (Option Agreement).
-
During the period the Company received noticed from the Department of Natural Resources (State of Alaska) that the mineral claims which comprise the Uncle Sam Gold Project had been declared abandoned (DNR Notice). The basis for the decision was an error on the affidavit of labor filed by the previous tenement owner in 2011. Further, as a result GAME has sought to terminate the Option Agreement.
The Company is currently reviewing its options in relation to this matter, including whether GAME has complied with its obligations under the Option Agreement, but notes that the Uncle Sam Gold Project:
-
is considered a non-core asset and has a $nil carrying value in the Company’s financial statements; and
-
is independent of the Company’s Alaska Range Project.
For a detailed listing of the Uncle Sam Gold Project mineral claims, held prior to receipt of the DNR Notice, refer Appendix 1 to the Quarterly Activities Report dated 31 October 2017.
