Almadex Options Davis and Paradise Valley Properties in Nevada to Makara Mining Corp.
VANCOUVER, Sept. 14, 2020 - Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to announce that it has optioned 60% of its Davis project and the adjoining Paradise Valley project (collectively, the “Project”) to Makara Mining Corp. (CSE: “MAKA”, the “Optionee”).
Under the terms of the agreement, Optionee can acquire a 60% interest in the Project by:
- Paying Almadex US$25,000 on the Effective Date of the Agreement and assuming all underlying obligations in relation to the Project;
- Incurring not less than an aggregate US$250,000 in exploration expenditures on or before the 1st Anniversary Date, and incurring not less than an aggregate US$250,000 in exploration expenditures on or before each successive Anniversary Date and not less than an aggregate US$3,500,000 in exploration on or before the 5th Anniversary Date; and
- Issuing to Almadex an aggregate 3,500,000 Common Shares over the five year option period.
Upon completion of the 60% earn-in, Almadex and the Optionee have agreed to form a 40/60 joint venture for the purpose of carrying out further exploration work on the Project with Optionee as operator and straight line dilution in the event of failure to participate in work programs. If either party’s participating interest falls below 10%, their interest will be converted into a 2% net smelter returns royalty.
J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex, stated “We have been accumulating mineral rights in the area of this Project for several years, and with this large cohesive and prospective package now in place we are excited to work with Makara to advance the exploration programs.”
