Under the terms of the Amended Option Agreement, upon Far Resources having earned an initial 50% interest, it may elect to earn a further 30% interest by paying the Optionor an additional $180,000 cash, (reduced from $240,000 in the original agreement); issuing an additional 1,500,000 shares; and incurring an additional $900,000 (reduced from $1,500,000 in the original agreement) in Exploration Expenditures within three years of the election date.
Further to the update provided in the news release dated February 1, 2016, the Company has initiated permitting for an exploration program on the Little Granite claims to verify the results from work carried out in the 1980s in the Little Granite mine area. Sampling carried out by Far Resources in late 2013 confirmed the presence of abundant strongly mineralised epithermal vein material on the mine dumps, assumed to have been excavated during the decline development in the early 1980s. Two samples thought to be representative of the main style of quartz veining returned values of 179 g/t silver and 2.9 g/t gold and 170 g/t silver and 6.7 g/t gold respectively, while a third sample of grey, finer-grained quartz material returned values of 1,439 g/t silver and 25.2 g/t gold.
Limited drilling in 1984 returned several high grade vein intercepts (see news release dated February 1, 2016 for details). These results pre-date the implementation of NI 43-101, and since the work was not conducted under the supervision of a QP, cannot be relied upon and are presented as historical information only. However, the sampling conducted by Far suggests the results are credible and that further work using modern techniques and supervision is warranted.
Keith Anderson, President and CEO of Far Resources commented, "We are pleased that, together with Redline, we have been able to amend the agreement and create an environment that allows us to move this project forward."
To date, the Company has made cash payments to Redline totaling $120,000 and has issued an aggregate total of 1,400,000 Common shares in the equity of the Company to satisfy its obligations, which are currently up to date. All other terms remain the same and are described in the Company's disclosure documents available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
