Ely Gold Retains a 2.5% Royalty
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 24, 2021) - Ely Gold Royalties Inc. (TSXV: ELY) (OTCQB: ELYGF) ("Ely Gold" or the "Company is pleased to announce that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Select Royalty Inc (collectively "Ely Gold"), it has entered into an Option Agreement with Crestview Exploration for its Cimarron Property, located in Nye County Nevada. Crestview will have the option to purchase 100% of the Cimarron Property ("Cimarron" or the "Property") with Ely Gold retaining a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR").
The Cimarron Property is a high-grade epithermal gold target associated with the historic San Antonio mine. The prospect is located in Nye County, Nevada approximately 30 kilometers North of Tonopah, NV (see Figure #1). The property is situated in the northern portion of the San Antonio Mountain Range. Regionally, the property is at the intersection of two prominent gold trends: The Walker-Lane trend which runs approximately NW and hosts a number of mines including Bullfrog, Goldfield, and Rawhide; and an approximately NNE trend of gold mines including Manhattan, Gold Hill, and Round Mountain. The property is comprised of 13 unpatented lode claims which overlap and control the six historically-producing claims around the San Antonio mine. The San Antonio mine was active from the early 1900's to the 1940's, and the mine area received attention again in the 1980's from a number of exploration companies including Newmont and Echo Bay. Altogether, approximately 190 holes and 54,000' were drilled in the 1980's, with gold intercepts greater than 1 opt encountered in several drill holes. Mineralization at Cimarron is hosted in a series of Oligocene age volcanic rocks overlying Paleozoic strata, and younger Miocene age intrusions. The target is a shallow, low sulfidation oxide gold system with strong structural control. The mineralization is associated with silicification, brecciation, and iron oxides.
The terms of the agreement are for 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) and $200,000 (US$) in the following installments:
- Initial payment of $25,000
- 1st Anniversary of $35,000
- 2nd Anniversary of $50,000
- 3rd Anniversary of $45,000
- 4th Anniversary of $45,000
The 2.5% NSR applies to the property and any locatable land in a 1-mile Area of Interest.
