Eureka Provides Corporate Update

17.10.2016  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, Oct. 17, 2016 /CNW/ - Eureka Resources Inc. ("Eureka" or the "Company") (TSXV: EUK) is pleased provide an update to our shareholders and interested stakeholders.

Eureka has made excellent progress over the last several months on both the Gemini Lithium Project ("Gemini") and the FG Gold Project ("FG Project").  In addition, the Company is currently reviewing potential acquisitions.

Gemini Lithium Project

Completion of pre-exploration work; significant achievements include the following:

  • Execution of a Definitive Joint Venture Agreement with Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. ("Nevada Sunrise") (TSXV: NEV);
  • Selection of drill targets;
  • Placement of a reclamation bond;
  • Completion of an archaeological survey;
  • Receipt of final exploration permit received from the Nevada Bureau of Land Management;

The exploration program for Gemini is estimated to cost approximately US$400,000. Eureka is required to contribute 50% of these costs (US$200,000).  The Company is in the process of completing a private placement of up to 3,500,000 units at $0.10 per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant.  Each whole warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share for 15 cents per share for two years from the date of issuance of the warrant. There is no minimum number of units being offered.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used for the drilling program at Gemini.  The timing of the drill program is dependent on the availability of a drill rig and required staffing.

Eureka owns a 50% participating interest in the Gemini Project, located in the western Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, in south central Nevada, approximately 40 kilometres (26 miles) from North America's only producing lithium mine at Silver Peak. Gemini currently consists of 247 placer claims totaling 4,940 acres (2,000 hectares).  The Gemini Project is located in a flat, desert basin hosting two interpreted sub-basins and with a similar geological setting to the Clayton Valley. Recent geophysical work at Gemini has outlined conductive zones interpreted as brine horizons, which the Company plans to test by drilling.

In August 2016, Nevada Sunrise granted Advantage Lithium Corp. (TSXV: AAL) ("Advantage") an option to earn a 50% interest in Gemini as part of a transaction involving 5 lithium properties, including Gemini. Upon exercise of the option by Advantage, Nevada Sunrise would relinquish its 50% interest in Gemini to Advantage, and retain a 2% gross overriding royalty on the Advantage 50% participating interest.  Eureka will retain a 50% interest and will then become the operator of exploration at Gemini.

FG Gold Project

Completion of 2016 exploration program and option agreement; significant achievements include the following:

  • Staking of additional strategic mineral claims;
  • Completion of geophysical interpretations;
  • Geochemical exploration following up on the geophysical interpretations;
  • Conclusion of an Option Agreement with Cararc Resource Corp. for the advancement of the FG Project in 2017.

Eureka has held the FG Property (formerly called Frasergold) since 1982. To date, over $15.0 million of exploratory work has been completed by the Company, ASARCO, AMOCO and Hawthorne Gold Corp. The historical exploration has established a Measured and Indicated (376,000 ounces) gold resource at an average grade of 0.776 g/t gold, using a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t, and an Inferred gold resource (634,900 ounces) at an average grade of 0.718 g/t gold, using a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t. Mineralization has been outlined over a strike length of 3 kilometres, and has the potential for additional mineralization that could extend along an interpreted strike length of over 10 kilometres. Details of the gold resource can be found in "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Frasergold Exploration Project, Cariboo Mining Division, dated July 27, 2015" available on SEDAR or at the Company's website.
