VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 12, 2015 / Agave Silver Corp. (TSX-V: AGV) ("Agave" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that in late April, 2015 it had reached an agreement with Hastings Highland Resources Limited ("Hastings") subject to Hastings board approval. The Hastings board and shareholders unanimously approved this transaction at a Special Meeting held on Saturday, May 9, 2015. The exclusive option is to earn a 90% interest in Hastings' Limerick Township nickel-copper property located in Ontario, Canada (the "Property").
After a tumultuous past few years, Agave looks forward to a very positive 2015 season with the addition of this option on a Canadian nickel-copper property to add to our growing portfolio of Canadian hard rock properties and the sale of our Mexican subsidiary, which cleared approximately $686K in debt.
Agave has engaged an investment banking firm focused on junior mining to raise up to $1.5 million for further development of the Property and to bring historical data into a fully-compliant NI 43-101. Completion of the ongoing 30 million share financing will also provide capital for project development of our wholly owned silver-lead-zinc property at Kaslo's Keen Creek in British Columbia.
The Kaslo silver-lead-zinc property has a permit application ready to go with an ecological and archaeological assessment completed by Kinbasket Development Corp. as consultants. The Company expects to prospect/sample the old former producers throughout the property starting with the reopening of the Cork Province Mine tunnels for access to old workings to establish a baseline for extension of previous known resources.
