Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. options Neptune lithium property in Nevada

04.03.2016  |  CNW
VANCOUVER, March 4, 2016 - Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise" or the "Company") (TSXV: NEV) is pleased to announce it has entered into an interim agreement (the "Agreement") with Resolve Ventures Inc. ("Resolve") (TSXV: RSV) of Vancouver, BC, Canada, for Resolve to earn up to a 50% working interest in the Neptune lithium property ("Neptune", or the "Property"). Neptune consists of a block of 316 unpatented placer claims totaling approximately 6,320 acres (2,557 hectares) located in the Clayton Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA, approximately 10 miles (15 kilometres) south of the Silver Peak lithium mine, operated by Albemarle Corp. (NYSE: ALB).


Neptune Option Agreement

The Agreement with Nevada Sunrise grants Resolve the right to earn up to a 50% interest in the Company's interest in Neptune. Nevada Sunrise holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Property pursuant to an option agreement with the property owners. Neptune is subject to a 3% gross overriding royalty (the "Royalty") in favour of the current owners of the Property. The parties expect to negotiate a more comprehensive "definitive agreement", which will supersede the Agreement.


Option for Resolve to Earn a 25% Interest

Under the terms of the Agreement, Resolve can earn an initial 25% interest in Neptune by making cash and share payments to Nevada Sunrise, and funding exploration expenditures, on the following schedule (all funds in Canadian dollars):
  • $50,000 cash upon execution of the Agreement;

  • $50,000 cash upon delivery by Nevada Sunrise of a co-addressed National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101) compliant Technical Report (the "Report") in a form acceptable to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV");

  • 200,000 shares of Resolve issued to Nevada Sunrise on the earlier of the execution of a definitive agreement, and March 31, 2016; and  

  • $300,000 cash in advance in respect of exploration expenditures to be incurred by Nevada Sunrise according to the recommendations in the Report, payable upon receipt of TSXV acceptance for the Agreement.

Nevada Sunrise will act as operator and will charge a 10% operatorship fee on exploration expenditures. All claim maintenance payments due by September 1, 2016 would be split 75-25 between the two parties.

In order to proceed with its second option, Resolve must provide notice to Nevada Sunrise 60 days before the 1st anniversary of TSXV acceptance of the Agreement. If Resolve does not elect to proceed with the second option, a standard dilution formula will apply to its 25% interest should additional expenditures be incurred.


Option for Resolve to Earn a 50% Interest

Upon an election to proceed to the second option, Resolve can earn an additional 25% interest in Neptune by making additional cash or share payments to Nevada Sunrise, and funding exploration expenditures, as follows:

1) A payment to Nevada Sunrise of either $100,000 cash or 300,000 shares of Resolve, at Resolve's option; and
2) Incurring $700,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property on or before the 2nd  anniversary of TSXV acceptance of the Agreement, which Resolve may satisfy by paying such amount in cash to Nevada Sunrise on or before the 1st anniversary of TSXV acceptance of the Agreement.


After completion of the exploration expenditures for Year 1 and Year 2 totaling $1,000,000 and the payment of cash and shares as listed above, Resolve would earn a 50% working interest in Neptune, and a joint venture would be formed.

In the event a joint venture is formed, Nevada Sunrise would be the operator of the joint venture and would be responsible for administrating all exploration activities, including drilling, geophysical surveys, geological consulting, and claim maintenance fees according to usual business practice for a joint venture.

Nevada Sunrise has the right, under the terms of the Royalty, to purchase 1.0% of the Royalty at any time before September 2018 by paying the Royalty holders US$1 million (the "Buydown").  Under the terms of the Agreement, the parties have agreed that if the joint venture exercises the Buydown, it will  be paid by both parties according to their respective participating interests.


About Neptune

Nevada Sunrise believes Neptune has the potential to host lithium-bearing brines in subterranean aquifers beneath the Clayton Valley floor. Historical exploration data and reports obtained by Nevada Sunrise indicate that geologic formations and structures exist at Neptune that are similar to lithium-bearing brine deposit models present elsewhere in the Clayton Valley. Drilling up to 3 vertical holes between 380 to 480 metres deep into the interpreted basin and analyzing any groundwater encountered is considered to be the next step for exploration at Neptune. Drilling is expected to begin at Neptune in March 2016.
