Millennial Precious Metals Corp. to Acquire Remainder of the Ocelot Property
Jason Kosec, President, CEO & Director of Millennial stated, "we are delighted to increase Millennial's interest in the Ocelot Property to 100%. Ocelot's access from the nearby highway, historical drilling and sampling results, and strong potential for gold mineralization below historical drilling make this property a great addition to Millennial's high-quality exploration portfolio in Nevada."
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company will acquire the 51% interest in the Ocelot Property for total consideration of: (i) the issuance to each Seller of 127,920 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Consideration Shares"); (ii) a cash payment of US$50,000 to each Seller; and (iii) the grant of a 0.5% net smelter return royalty to each Seller, which may be purchased in its entirety by the Company from each Seller for a purchase price of US$750,000. The closing of the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement remains subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Consideration Shares will be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to applicable securities laws. For further details regarding the Ocelot Property, please refer to the Company's annual information form dated July 27, 2021 available on Millennial's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Ocelot Property Overview:
The Ocelot (historically known as Zeno) property is located within the Toiyabe Range in Nevada, 57km southwest from the world class Au deposits at Pipeline/Cortez. The 3,978-acre land package consists of 206 unpatented claims on federally owned lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Mineralization at Zeno is strongly representative of a low sulfidation epithermal Au/Ag system, hosted in the Valmy Formation and volcano-sedimentary units overlying local quartzite basement rocks. Several target areas display broad zones of alteration including argilization (quartz-illite) and intense silicification with boiling textures, characteristic of the upper levels in epithermal systems.
Several promising target zones at Ocelot display encouraging Au, As, Hg, and other pathfinder element data from previous sampling programs. Mapping reports broad zones of silicification and sinter on the property with assays up to 200 ppb Au. Historical shallow drilling reported intersections up to 0.01 opt Au associated with micro breccia veinlets.
