Omni Commerce Corp. Enters into Letter of Intent to Acquire Majority Ownership of Northshore Gold Property and Corporate Update

27.04.2020  |  Accesswire
VANCOUVER, April 27, 2020 - Omni Commerce Corp. (0MZA.F) ("Omni" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into a letter of intent dated April 24, 2020 (the "LOI") with CBLT Inc. ("CBLT"), an Ontario corporation which has its common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). Omni has agreed to acquire CBLT's right, title and interest in and to its 56% joint venture interest in the Northshore Gold Property (the "Property"), located in the Schreiber-Hemlo Greenstone Belt, 115 km west of Hemlo and 200 km east of Thunder Bay, on the terms in the LOI (the "Transaction").


Northshore Gold Property

The Northshore Gold Property is located within the Hemlo-Schreiber greenstone belt in the world-famous Hemlo Gold Camp, south of the former producing Winston Lake copper-zinc-gold-silver deposit. The Property is approximately 4 kilometres south of the town of Schreiber, Ontario and approximately 70 kilometres west along the Trans-Canada Highway from the Hemlo gold deposit. The Property is 322 hectares and is prospective for gold mineralization. CBLT owns a 56% interest in the Property pursuant to a joint venture agreement with Balmoral Resources Ltd. which owns the remaining 44% interest in the Property (the "Joint Venture").

Gold mineralization at the Property is located in a highly fractured series of felsic intrusive rocks. High grade gold mineralization has been identified along several vein systems on the Property, which include the Audney, Caly, Gino and former producing Northshore vein systems. The Audney and Caly veins are part of a broader zone of gold mineralization referred to as the Afric Deposit which encompasses several high-grade veins and broad zones of strongly anomalous gold values located between them. The Afric Deposit is the current focus of exploration on the Property with expansion of the high-grade vein systems a secondary priority.

In March 2019, CBLT acquired its interest in the Property from GTA Financecorp Inc. (formerly GTA Mining and Resources Inc.) ("GTA"). A National Instrument 43-101 technical report entitled "Technical Report on the Mineral Resources of the Northshore Property, Priske Township, Ontario Canada" dated June 30, 2014 (the "2014 Technical Report") was prepared for GTA by Gary Giroux, P. Eng. of Giroux Consultants Ltd. and J. Douglas Blanchflower, P. Geo. of Minorex Consulting Limited, and is available on SEDAR under GTA's profile. The Property hosts indicated resources and inferred resources within the Afric Deposit which are summarized in the 2014 Technical Report as follows:

1.00 6,420,000 1.51 311,000
1.20 4,210,000 1.73 233,000

Subsequent to publication of the 2014 Technical Report, higher grade at-surface mineralization has been pursued on the Afric Deposit. In 2015, GTA did additional evaluations of the Property including independent pit design studies, conducted by Mr. George Dermer P. Eng. of Moose Mountain Technical Services, based in Cranbrook, B.C. As part of this evaluation, areas of higher grade, near surface gold mineralization hosted within the Afric Zone were outlined. The results of this pit design process identified two potential open pit mining areas with near-surface gold mineralization. These pit area outlines were designed and defined using the same geological models used by the authors of the 2014 Technical Report in preparing the resource estimate for the Property. Detailed information regarding these evaluations and the potential open pit mining areas is set out in GTA's news release dated June 17, 2015, a copy of which is available on GTA's SEDAR profile.

In December 2018, GTA carried out a diamond drill program at the Property. The results of the drill program and assay results are detailed in GTA's news release dated February 25, 2019, a copy of which is available on GTA's SEDAR profile. Future work on the Property will be reviewed by the Joint Venture following completion of the Transaction.

All technical information in this press release is taken from the 2014 Technical Report and subsequent public disclosures by prior owners of the Property. All such disclosure was approved at the relevant times by a Qualified Person. A copy of the 2014 Technical Report is available on SEDAR under GTA's profile. Further information on the Property and the particulars of the exploration and evaluation work conducted on the Property by CBLT and GTA are set out in CBLT's and GTA's respective public disclosure records. Details of the data verification procedures and limitations relating to: (i) the resource estimations are set out in the 2014 Technical Report, (ii) the open pit design evaluations are set out in GTA's news release dated June 17, 2015, and (iii) the results of GTA's 2018 drill program are set out in GTA's news release dated February 25, 2019. The results of GTA and CBLT's evaluations to date include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the economic viability of this material will be realized in future studies.

Omni intends to complete a current National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Property in connection with the Transaction (the "2020 Technical Report").


Summary of Transaction

The LOI is a non-binding agreement which sets out the principal terms on which the parties have agreed to complete the Transaction. Subject to satisfactory due diligence and successful additional negotiations, the parties intend to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement") on or before May 8, 2020.

On completion of the Transaction (the "Closing"), Omni has agreed, among other things, to pay $300,000 in cash to CBLT and issue to CBLT an aggregate of $1,100,000 worth of common shares in the capital of Omni (each, an "Omni Share") on a post-Consolidation (as defined herein) basis at a price equal to the price of the Sub Receipts (collectively, the "Consideration Shares"). Prior to the Closing, CBLT will execute and deliver to Omni a voluntary escrow agreement, to be effective as of the Closing (the "Escrow Agreement"). The Escrow Agreement will provide, among other things, that all Consideration Shares will be deposited into escrow, with an escrow agent to be determined by Omni in its sole discretion and at the expense of Omni, and with the Consideration Shares to be released from escrow as to 25% on each of the days which is four, six, eight and 12 months after the Closing. CBLT will be entitled to vote any Consideration Shares that are held in escrow, but will not be entitled to transfer, option or otherwise encumber any of such Consideration Shares without the prior written consent of Omni. This voluntary escrow will be in addition to any escrow required by the policies of the any stock exchange.

In addition, under the terms of the LOI, Omni has agreed to consolidate its total issued and outstanding common shares (each, an "Omni Share") on the basis of five pre-consolidation Omni Shares for one post-consolidation Omni Share (collectively, the "Consolidation") prior to Closing. Omni has also agreed to raise gross proceeds of not less than $1.5 million through the private placement (the "Financing") of subscription receipts of Omni (each, a "Sub Receipt"). Each Sub Receipt will be issued at a subscription price of $0.60 per Sub Receipt on a post-Consolidation basis and will consist of one Omni Share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Financing Warrant"), with each Financing Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional post-Consolidation Omni Share at an exercise price of $1.00 per post-Consolidation Omni Share for a period of 2 years.

Completion of the Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including satisfactory due diligence, entry into a Definitive Agreement, Omni completing the Financing, Omni completing the Consolidation, Omni obtaining the 2020 Technical Report, Omni applying to list its common shares on a Canadian stock exchange, CBLT documenting sufficient and timely expenditures on the Property to meet the listing requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), receipt of all requisite approvals, and other conditions customary for transactions of this nature. The LOI includes a completion deadline of August 31, 2020. The parties will endeavor to complete the Transaction as soon as practicable and intends to complete the Transaction prior to the completion deadline. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. Finder's fees may be payable in connection with the Transaction or the Financing.

Under the terms of the LOI, if CBLT, or any affiliate stakes or otherwise acquires any rights ("Additional Rights") to minerals located wholly or partially within or contiguous to the area located within two (2) kilometers from any portion of the exterior boundaries of the Property, as such exterior boundaries exist on the Closing (the "Area of Interest"), it must provide notice to Omni of such acquisition and the details thereof, and Omni will have the election, to be exercised within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the notice of such Additional Rights, whether to include the Additional Rights in the Property (whether such rights are contained wholly within the Area of Interest or only partially within the Area of Interest).

Peter Clausi, President and CEO of Omni is also the President of CBLT. Mr. Clausi abstained from voting on the approval of the LOI by the board of directors of each Omni and CBLT, as applicable.
