Millrock Partner Felix Gold Begins Trading on the Australia Securities Exchange (ASX), Fairbanks Area Gold Projects, Alaska
VANCOUVER, Jan. 31, 2022 - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) ("Millrock" or the "Company") reports that Felix Gold has been accepted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and has commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") under the trading symbol FXG. Millrock is being issued 9,957,157 Felix Gold shares that are subject to an escrow period of two years.
During the Initial Public Offering, Felix Gold raised in excess of AUD$10 million. Felix Gold will direct much of the capital raised to exploration of the mineral claims contributed by Millrock and/or staked or acquired by Felix Gold in the Fairbanks Mining District.
Millrock President and CEO Gregory Beischer commented: "This is great news for Millrock and its shareholders. Some excellent targets have been developed over the past year. With a strong treasury and a robust 2022 budget, Felix Gold will have a great chance to make new gold discoveries. Any exploration success should result in strong appreciation of the Felix Gold shares that Millrock holds, and this should be supportive of Millrock's share price."
As reported in a January 12, 2021 press release, Millrock assigned Felix all of its rights in the Fairbanks area Ester Dome and Treasure Creek properties, and the Liberty Bell project. Millrock had held these rights for several years under agreements with prospectors. The Fairbanks Mining District is located within the prolific Tintina Gold Province, which spans Alaska and Yukon. In return, Millrock has received share equity in Felix Gold, advance royalties, and production royalties.
Felix Gold indicates that it has secured a drill rig and plans an aggressive drilling campaign.
