Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 29, 2016) - Coronet Metals Inc. (TSXV: CRF) (FWB: 2CM) (OTC Pink: CORMF) ("Coronet" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an exclusive letter of intent ("LOI") with Mr. Jim Parks to acquire 60% of the Dixie Queen Gold Mine, also known as the Newell Prospect, in Cabarrus Country, North Carolina.
The Dixie Queen Gold Mine ("Dixie Queen") is located on private land and 100% owned by Mr. Parks. The mine lies in the Charlotte belt of the North Carolina Piedmont about 20 miles east of Charlotte. The known metalliferous deposits in Charlotte belt rocks in the general vicinity of the Dixie Queen, consist primarily of gold, but other metals have been produced, notably copper and tungsten, largely as by-products of gold mining.
There is initial small scale production on the property, using crushing and water gravity methods to recover the free gold from the ore mined from the exposed vein systems. The plan is to carefully assess current and future mine plans and to involve Coronet's experienced mining team to get the project into commercial production.
Coronet has evaluated several historical reports on the property and the evaluation of the property is very positive and could form a strong foundation for the preparation of a NI 43-101 report, subject to further due diligence.
Mr. Theo van der Linde, President of Coronet states: "The Dixie Queen Gold Mine is a perfect strategic fit with Coronet's business plan which calls for the company to focus on near term cash flow-opportunities and exploration upside. The Dixie Queen Mine is on private land, located right here in North America, and situated in a mining-friendly jurisdiction. Best of all, this project also strongly positions Coronet to build its portfolio of gold assets".
The closing of the proposed acquisition is subject to satisfactory due diligence by Coronet, the completion and execution of the appropriate formal documentation with Coronet and the vendor and the acceptance for filing of the transaction by the TSX Venture Exchange, if required. There can be no assurance that the transaction will proceed as proposed or at all.
