Alexander (Sandy) Stares, President and CEO of Metals Creek states "Making this deal with Delta allows Metals Creek to focus on our flagship Ogden Gold Project (50/50 JV with Newmont) and our Tillex Copper Project, where we have completed drilling with great success and awaiting additional results. In addition, Metals Creek and its shareholders will remain exposed to Delta's success with the share holding and the NSR on these claims. We believe that Delta is best positioned with their commanding land package to advance this exciting portion of the Shabandowan greenstone belt and we are very pleased to be a shareholder of Delta into the future."
"Delta deployed an aggressive strategy over the past year to control the eastern Shebandowan Greenstone Belt. With each addition to its property package, Delta is getting closer to its goal of controlling this highly prospective gold endowed belt where we believe that multiple significant gold deposits are yet to be uncovered. Having already made a significant discovery at the Eureka Gold deposit which remains open on strike and to depth, the Delta technical team is as keen on expanding the mineralized envelope at Eureka while it now sets its sights on furthering the potential of multiple gold deposits within this commanding land package. It's also noteworthy that Delta has no work commitments on the complete property package, allowing the team to focus where the data is pointing to areas of best potential. A potential that we're just starting to uncover." said André Tessier, President and CEO.
Under the terms of the agreement, Delta will pay to Metals Creek, $55,000 and issue 1,250,000 common shares of Delta upon TSX approval of the agreement. The shares issued will vest at a rate of 312,500 every 4 months after issuance.
Metals Creek will also issue 425,000 MEK shares to GC and Delta will also have to pay $40,000 to GC in two equal instalments on March 14, 2025 and March 14, 2026.
Metals Creek will retain a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR") on the claims. Delta will have the option to buyback a 50% of that NSR at anytime for $500,000 and will have a right of first refusal on the second 50% NSR, to a maximum of $500,000. The claims are all subject to a 2% NSR related to underlying agreements and Delta will have the right to purchase 1% at anytime for $1M.
There are no work commitments on the properties. The agreement is subject to regulatory approval.
