Eureka Announces Corporate Changes to Board of Directors and Management Team

12.06.2015  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, June 12, 2015 /CNW/ - Eureka Resources Inc. ("Eureka" or the "Company") (TSXV: EUK) announced today that significant changes have been made to the Board of Directors (the "Board") and to the management team of the Company. Concurrent with these administrative changes, on June 11, 2015, a significant shareholder of Eureka and certain of his associates divested a total of 10,000,000 shares of the 20,047,239 issued and outstanding common shares of the Company in a private sale to independent investors.

On June 11, 2015, Eureka accepted the resignations of John J. ("Jack") O'Neill as President and director, Lawrence O'Neill and Mark Rozenberg as directors of the Company, and Sheryl A. Jones and Terence O'Neill as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, respectively. Kristian Whitehead, P.Geo., and John R. Kerr, P.Eng. (previously appointed as a director on May 11, 2015) remain as directors of the Company, and have appointed Michael D. Sweatman, CPA, and Warren W. Stanyer to the Board. The Board also appointed Michael Sweatman as President and Chief Executive Officer, Brent Petterson, CPA, as Chief Financial Officer in place of Sheryl Jones, and Christina Boddy as Corporate Secretary, in place of Terence O'Neill. Kristian Whitehead was appointed Vice-President, Exploration, for the Company.

The Board wishes to thank the previous directors and officers for their long and dedicated service to the shareholders of the Company. With corporate policies established under the leadership of former Chairman and President Jack O'Neill, Eureka remains committed to the highest and best levels of corporate and environmental responsibility, and to maintaining strong relationships with shareholders and investors.

Eureka's new management team is poised to build on the extensive exploration carried out on the Frasergold Project since its acquisition by the Company in 1983. Michael Sweatman, President and CEO said: "The outstanding work and standards set over the past three decades by Jack O'Neill and his team have provided a solid foundation for Eureka's future. We look forward to unlocking the tremendous potential of the Frasergold Project."

John Kerr and Kristian Whitehead have each gained extensive personal experience on the Frasergold Project from their involvement in historical exploration programs, and are jointly planning a summer/fall 2015 exploration program for implementation over the coming months, dependent on financing. A modest soil sampling program carried out by Eureka in late April 2015 showed anomalous gold values ranging from 20 to 1,525 ppb in an area northwest of the Main Zone of the Frasergold deposit that could become a compelling drill target. With a report of the results of the April 2015 soil sampling program fully in hand, the Company intends to update the National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report entitled "Report on the 2007 and 2008 Drill Programs on the Frasergold Project", dated November 18, 2009, authored by K. V. Campbell, Ph.D, P.Geo, and G. H. Giroux, MA.Sc, P.Eng., and filed on SEDAR by Hawthorne Gold Corp. ("Hawthorne", TSXV: HGC, now China Minerals Mining Corp., TSXV: CMV).

About Eureka and the Frasergold Project

Since its incorporation in 1981, Vancouver-based Eureka Resources Inc. (TSX-V: EUK) has focused on the exploration and development of natural resource properties. Its flagship project, the Frasergold deposit,  
was the subject of a NI 43-101 compliant technical report entitled "Report on the 2007 and 2008 Drill Programs on the Frasergold Project", dated November 18, 2009, authored by K. V. Campbell, Ph.D, P.Geo, and G. H. Giroux, MA.Sc, P.Eng., and filed on SEDAR by Hawthorne. The Frasergold Project is located about 100 kilometres east of Williams Lake, B.C., Canada, with good summer/fall access by B.C. provincial highways and secondary roads.

In 2007 and 2008, Hawthorne spent approximately $8.8 million on exploration programs that included 14,029 meters of diamond drilling, and later published a Technical Report entitled "Report on the 2007 and 2008 Drill Programs on the Frasergold Project", dated November 18, 2009, authored by K. V. Campbell, Ph.D, P.Geo, and G. H. Giroux, MA.Sc, P.Eng., and filed on SEDAR by Hawthorne. The technical report describes Mineral Resource Estimates, consisting of a Measured resource of 145,000 ounces grading 0.812 grams/tonne ("g/t") gold, and an Indicated resource of 231,000 ounces grading 0.755 g/t gold, for total Measure and Indicated resources of 379,000 ounces of gold grading 0.776 g/t gold estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.50 g/t gold.
