Xplore Resources Provides Update on the Diamond Mountain Transaction and Other Corporate Updates
Toronto, August 16, 2022 - Xplore Resources Corp. (TSXV: XPLR) ("Xplore" or "the Company"), announces that further to its news release of June 7, 2022, it has reached an agreement with Revival Gold Inc. ("Revival") to extend the "Outside Date" noted in the Mining Property Purchase Agreement with Revival dated June 6, 2022 (the "Purchase Agreement") to September 30, 2022. All other terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement remain unchanged.
The Diamond Mountain phosphate project ("Diamond Mountain") is a 547-hectare ("ha") State Mining Lease ("State Lease") with a historic measured and indicated resource estimated to be 26.8 million tonnes ("Mt") averaging 19.67% P2O5 in addition to an inferred resource estimated at 23.1 Mt averaging 19.67% P2O5. The mineral resource estimate is supported by the Technical Report titled "Technical Report, Diamond Mountain Phosphate Project, Uintah County, Utah" authored by L.D.Henchel, P.Geo, P.G., with an effective date of September 11, 2014. The Technical Report is available on SEDAR under Revival's filings.
Terms of the Purchase Agreement:
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, which is subject to TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") approval, Xplore may acquire up to a 51% interest in the Diamond Mountain phosphate project and may be earned with the following terms.
- C$250,000 cash payment on closing of transaction ("Closing");
- C$250,000 cash payment on the first anniversary of Closing; and
Issuance to Revival of such number of common shares in the capital of Xplore (the "Payment Shares") as is equal to 19.9% of Xplore's issued capital. Closing of transaction is subject to the completion of a minimum C$5 million financing by Xplore, terms of which will be announced by way of a subsequent news release.
Wes Hanson, President and CEO of Xplore notes: "We continue to believe Diamond Mountain represents a rare opportunity to acquire and develop a high value phosphate resource in the continental United States. The ease of access, surrounding infrastructure, demonstrated resource value and strong demand growth in the phosphate sector all suggest that Diamond Mountain represents a value creation opportunity. We believe general market conditions held back investment in our proposed financing. Our financial advisors have suggested that market sentiment is becoming increasingly positive, and that we should be able to complete the financing and close the transaction with Revival Gold by the revised Outside Date."
Issuance of the Payment Shares and its underlying securities shall be subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals including, without limitation, the final approval of the Exchange and other conditions.
