CALGARY, Sept. 28, 2023 - Tuktu Resources Ltd. ("Tuktu" or the "Company") (TSXV: TUK) is pleased to announce that on September 28, 2023, the Company entered into a mining claims purchase and sale agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") to sell 90% of its interest in the Isintok Property (Copper Plateau Porphyry project) to Cascade Copper Corp. ("Cascade", (CSE: CASC) (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is subject to applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE"). The outstanding common shares (the "Shares") of Cascade are listed for trading on the CSE.
Total consideration to be paid by Cascade to the Company under the Purchase Agreement is CAD $200,000 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price is to be satisfied through the issuance of 2,150,538 units (the "Units") of Cascade at a deemed price of $0.093 per Unit. Each Unit shall be comprised of one (1) Share and one half (1/2) Share purchase warrant of Cascade ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant shall be exercisable for one (1) Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of three (3) years from the closing date of the Transaction. The Warrants do not vest and are not exercisable until 12 months following the date of the Purchase Agreement.
The Transaction is expected to close on or about October 5, 2023.
Following the Transaction, Tuktu will hold approximately 7.45% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Tuktu will be granted anti-dilution rights which will provide Tuktu the right to maintain its equity ownership in Cascade.
Following closing of the Transaction, Tuktu will retain 10% ownership in the Isintok Property. The Isintok Property, which was explored by the Company for several years, is a copper porphyry deposit with considerable geological similarities to the nearby Brenda mine, which produced 177 million tonnes of ore grading 0.169% Cu and 0.043% Mo between 1970 and 1990. Many porphyry copper deposits are highly structured ore depositional systems that could require substantial and sophisticated structural modelling to understand. Tuktu believes that the combined technical abilities of the two companies with respect to the development and exploration of the Isintok Property will be beneficial for Tuktu's shareholders.
