Secova Metals Acquires Osisterra Project and Further Increases Its Land Position in Windfall Lake Gold District
This brings the Company's total contiguous land position at Eagle River to 21,472 hectares making Secova one of the largest land holders in the district behind Osisko Mining. The Osisterra Project has had exploration on the property dating back to 1977 including mapping, airborne geophysical surveys and some drilling.
Secova's Chairman and CEO, Brad Kitchen commented, "Secova has taken advantage of this opportunity to acquire the Osisterra claims that are directly adjacent to both the south of Osisko Mining's Windfall Lake Camp, and to the west of Bonterra's Gladiator project, hence its name, 'Osisterra'. This parcel of land represents a critical piece of the puzzle for Secova and its extensive exploration plans for the Windfall Lake gold district. Management feels that this will be the Company's last acquisition in this region before exploration commences on the Eagle River properties shortly. The Company has more than sufficient capital to accommodate its budget for the Duvay/Chenier drilling program as well as its initial Phase 1 exploration program at Eagle River."
The acquisition is an arms-length transaction in which the Company will issue 10 million common shares by way of a share exchange agreement. The acquisition transaction contemplated herein are subject to final TSX Venture Exchange approval.
