Gatling Exploration Inc. Expands Land Position at the Larder Gold Project: Adds Drill-Ready Targets

02.04.2019  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, April 2, 2019 - Gatling Exploration Inc. (TSXV: GTR, OTC: GATGF) (the "Company" or "Gatling") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the "Assignment Agreement") with Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX:TECK.A and TECK.B, NYSE: TECK) ("Teck") to acquire Teck's option to acquire the 1,274 Ha Kir Vit claim package in the Larder Lake district (the "Property"), in Ontario, Canada. Once the option is exercised, the acquisition increases Gatling's contiguous land position to 3,370 ha, at the Larder Gold Project, which is host to two deposits with historical resource estimates. (Figure 1). In addition, the new Property hosts several near-surface drill-ready target areas that trend onto proven zones such as Agnico Eagle's Upper Beaver deposit that has an Indicated mineral resource of 1,461,000 oz Au at 6.62 g/t Au with 56,006,000 lbs. Cu at 0.37% Cu (6,870,000 t) and an Inferred resource of 712,000 oz Au at 4.85 g/t Au with 32,218,000 lbs. Cu at 0.32% Cu (4,570,000 t).1

The addition of the Kir Vit property opens up new exploration opportunities within Intrusion related gold targets and Timiskaming Sediments - geology that is consistent with hosting gold mineralization similar to the Larder gold project and elsewhere in the region. Also, Teck's database of recent exploration activities on the Property, including geophysics and surface sampling, will be reviewed and compiled for future targeting. Gatling would like to also welcome Teck as a shareholder.

Property Acquisition Highlights

Agreement Details

Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, Gatling will take an assignment of a January 2017 underlying agreement (the "Kir Vit Agreement") between Teck and certain parties that originally staked the claims comprising the Property (the "stakers"), and step into Teck's place in the Kir Vit Agreement. On closing, in consideration of the assignment, Gatling will issue 1,750,000 common shares to Teck. Then if Gatling chooses to exercise the option in the Kir Vit Agreement, which requires a remaining cash payment of $250,000 to the stakers by January 31, 2020, Gatling will grant to Teck a 0.5% NSR on the Property. Under the Kir Vit Agreement, a 2% NSR will also vest in the stakers, subject to reduction of such NSR to 1% on payment of $1,000,000 to the stakers. Additionally, under the Assignment Agreement, if Gatling exercises the option under the Kir Vit Agreement and makes a decision to put the Property into production, Teck is also entitled to a $4,000,000 cash payment.

The transaction is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The shares to be issued to Teck under the Assignment Agreement will be subject to a four month hold period under securities laws.
