Kintavar Exploration options Anik Gold property to IAMGOLD; up to $6.5M work commitment and potential to receive up to $3M payment

28.05.2020  |  GlobeNewswire
MONTREAL, May 28, 2020 - Kintavar Exploration Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Kintavar”) (TSX-V: KTR) (FRANKFURT: 58V), is very pleased to announce that it has executed an Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with IAMGold Corp. (“IAMGOLD”) for the Anik Gold Project (the “Project”). Under the terms of the Agreement, Kintavar has granted IAMGOLD an option to earn up to an 80% interest in the Project, which is comprised of 96 mining claims and located 40km to the South-East of the town of Chapais and 55km to the South of the town of Chibougamau in the Province Quebec.

As per the Agreement, IAMGOLD has a first option to earn 75% undivided interest in the Project in consideration for: (a) staged cash payments totalling $600,000, and (b) the completion of $4,000,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project over a period of 5 years.

Following the exercise of the first option, IAMGOLD can elect a second option to earn an additional 5% undivided interest, to hold a 80% interest in the Project, in consideration for the delivery of a pre-feasibility study during the following 5 years and a commitment to spend $500,000 per year until the completion of the second option. Both options could be fulfilled before their respective 5 year periods, if IAMGOLD elects so.

Upon completion of either of these options, Kintavar will retain a 25% or 20% contributing net interest, as the case maybe, which can be converted at Kintavar’s election to a 10% non-contributing and free carried interest until commercial production is achieved. The contributing interests are subject to standard dilution conditions, which upon dilution to less than 10%, would convert to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”). IAMGOLD reserved the right to buy back 0.75% of the NSR for $2,000,000.

As per the Agreement, Kintavar will also be paid by IAMGOLD $400,000 in cash upon the first declaration of a minimum 300,000 ounces of gold in a qualifying 43-101 indicated mineral resources. In addition, and in each case, (a) upon a decision to develop a first mine and later (b) a decision to declare commercial production on all or part of the Project, IAMGOLD will issue a payment of $1,000,000 in cash and/or common shares of IAMGOLD. In total, these additional payments could amount up to a total of $2,400,000.

The agreement also provides for the formation of a joint venture after either the first or second option should Kintavar elect to participate. A joint venture includes provisions related to operatorship, project funding, dilution, conversion of Kintavar’s interest to a free carried interest at its election as subject to specified terms and conditions.

“We are very excited to have reached an agreement with IAMGOLD on the Anik gold project. Since its discovery in 2014 by our technical team, we have observed regional developments which have laid the foundation to create the next potential mining camp in Quebec. With IAMGOLD leading the way on the adjacent Nelligan project and other assets in its vicinity, this further consolidation with the Anik gold project will help further advance mining development in the Chapais-Chibougamau area. Partnering with a major having a reputation such as IAMGOLD to advance the Anik gold project, Kintavar shareholders will have significant upside exposure to one of the most active gold exploration regions in Quebec,” commented Kiril Mugerman, President & CEO of Kintavar.
