Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire - May 09, 2024 – Hanstone Gold Corp. (TSXV:HANS) (FRA:HGO) (the “Company” or “Hanstone”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement dated as of May 6, 2024 (the “APA”) with Richard Mill (“Mill”) pursuant to which the Company will purchase three mineral exploration claims (the “Purchased Claims”) comprising approximately 355.37 hectares in the Province of British Columbia

 

The Purchased Claims adjoin the south western portion of Hanstone’s existing Snip North property.  The prospective claims are located along the north shore of the Iskut River across from the historic Snip Mine owned by Skeena Resources.  The area is known for its exceptional exploration potential, with such discoveries as the Stu area situated on the north side of the Iskut River, where high grade gold-bearing quartz veins occur within lapilli tuffs.  The Purchased Claims represent a unique opportunity to discover and expand Hanstone’s exceptional exploration potential and future growth.

 

Under the APA, as consideration for the Purchased Claims the Company will issue an aggregate of 650,000 common shares of the Company (each, a “Share”) to Mill at a deemed price of $0.05 per Share, representing an aggregate value of $32,500. In addition, the Company will grant to Mill a royalty equal to 2% of the net smelter returns on the Purchased Claims (the “NSR Royalty”), provided that the Company may purchase 1/2 of the NSR Royalty (so that a 1% royalty will remain) for total consideration of $500,000 at any time. The closing of the transaction is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Shares, when issued, will be subject to a four month hold period. The Company will provide an update respecting the transaction upon receipt of approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.
