TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - September 09, 2015) - Orefinders Resources Inc. ("Orefinders" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ORX) is pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Jubilee Gold Exploration Ltd. ("Jubilee"), Derlak's vendor and former optionor, that gives Orefinders an immediate 100% interest in the Derlak Project located in Red Lake Ontario. In exchange for the fully vested interest in Derlak, Orefinders has agreed to amend its existing 3% Net Smelter Royalty agreement with Jubilee on its Mirado Project in Kirkland lake to include only a 1% buy back for Orefinders at a cost of $1,000,000.
Under the terms of the original option agreement as amended, Orefinders was required to spend a further $500,000 in work obligations on Derlak prior to January 19, 2017 in order to own 100% of the Derlak property and had the option to buy back the entire 3% NSR on the Mirado Project at $1,000,000 for the first percent, $2,000,000 for the second percent and $3,000,000 for the final third percent.
"This new agreement gives Orefinders control over the Derlak project which is right in the heart of the Red Lake mining camp. This area has seen significant acquisitions on our borders with Yamana Gold buying Mega Precious and its North Madsen project and Pure Gold buying the Madsen Mine, which surrounds our Derlak project, from Claude Resources. In this difficult financial environment we felt it was prudent to eliminate the finance risk on the Derlak project and eliminate our requirement to spend upwards of $500,000 to exercise any interest in this project. We are pleased that this transaction gives us the freedom to control our own destiny in the Red Lake camp and gives us greater optionality to either monetize or add to our holdings in the region," said Stephen Stewart, Orefinders' CEO.
About Derlak
The Derlak Red Lake Property consists of eleven contiguous patented mining claims which Orefinders now owns a 100% interest. (See Image 1 for Orefinders Red Lake Land Package) The Derlak Red Lake claims are situated immediately northeast of the past producing Madsen Mine, owned by Pure Gold Mining Inc. Derlak Red Lake Property remains largely untested and has the potential for discovery of economic mineralisation near-surface and at depth, along the Madsen Trend for a strike length of up to 1200m across the property. The trend of the Madsen Mine projects directly onto the Derlak Red Lake claims where there is real potential to discover a high grade feeder zone. (See Image 2)
