Noka Re-Negotiates Lodge Pole Point Project
Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / April 14, 2015--Noka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: NX) (the "Company" or "Noka") is pleased to announce that it has renegotiated the terms of the acquisition by which the Company can earn a 100% interest in the Lodge Pole Point Project (the "Property"), which straddles the southern border of the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, west of the Key Lake uranium mine.
The Company has reduced its commitments from payments totalling $1,600,000 over the next 48 months and completing $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property within four years to a one-time payment of $50,000 and an advance royalty payment of $20,000 due annually, beginning in 2016.
Regarding the new terms, Nav Dhaliwal, President & CEO, commented: "The new terms represent a marked savings to Noka, as money previously earmarked for property payments can now be channelled into furthering this marquee project. This is a tangible milestone in the Company's restructuring, one that should result in increased shareholder value."
The Lodge Pole Point Project hosts several kilometers of northeast trending conductors, delineated through both airborne and ground EM surveys, and first pass drilling by JNR Resources who in 2000 intersected alteration and base metal enrichment common to uranium deposits.
The initial exploration at Lodge Pole will be focused in and around drill hole LEB01-01, which was spotted on the ice of Lodge Pole Lake, immediately east of the west shore. This drill hole returned anomalous trace element values from strongly altered and structurally disrupted basement lithologies. Furthermore, Hole # -01 is located at the southern end of the Horse South grid on the same conductive corridor and approximately 6.1 km southeast of drill hole DF-63 (SMDI 2540) which returned strongly altered and structurally disrupted sandstone. Also of interest is that the Horse South grid is approximately 12.1 km northwest of the well-defined Lazy Edward Bay radioactive diabase boulder field. . (SMDI 2062)
