Mega Closes Its Acquistion of the Headway Property in Red Lake, Ontario
Mega Precious Metals Inc. (MGP:TSX-V) ('Mega?) is pleased to
announce that it has made the final option payment to complete the
acquisition of a 100% interest in the Headway property in Red Lake,
Ontario, which consisted of the issue of 3,600,000 common shares to
Kings Bay Gold Corporation and 400,000 common shares to Palomino Mining
and Exploration Ltd for the Headway Property. The 4,000,000 common
shares issued by Mega are subject to a four month hold period under
Canadian securities laws which expires on March 23, 2013.
The Headway property is located along the Red Lake mine trend, adjacent
to Hwy 105 and just South of Goldcorp's high grade Red Lake and Campbell
mines that are located in Balmertown, Ontario. The property consists of
six (6) patented claims and one (1) unpatented claim totaling
approximately 320 acres. The definitive agreement to acquire the 100%
interest in the Headway Property was first announced October 5, 2009: http://www.megapmi.com/2009-releases/content/2009-releases/article/nr_5-10-2009_headway_da.
Glen Kuntz President and Interim Chief Executive Officer stated: 'We are
pleased to complete the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Headway
Gold project; we believe the property will prove to be an important and
valuable asset in our holdings?.
Since October 5, 2009, the company has drilled 3 deep holes that have
tested a geological model to a depth of 2,601 m. Hole MH1103 is
currently at 2,543 m and is located in the Balmer Assemblage that is the
known host rock for the gold deposits that are being mined by Goldcorp′s
Red Lake Mine.
Based upon the current drill locations, Mega has increased the potential
mineralized footprint and in the process has acquired much needed
geological/geotechnical information that is essential to future drilling
which will continue to test for zones similar to Goldcorp′s High Grade
Zone mineralization.
The Company is currently evaluating its options on how best to continue
exploring the property′s potential during 2013.
